Hey I just regurgitate what I hear, I don't make the news. I ain't the New York Times!

West coast bias.

Maybe a Hall of Fame Thread, just to have it noted that there was a time where both Peter King and ESPN had the Cardinals as #1 in a Power Ranking poll.

Some where Merrill Hodge is weeping.

HaHaHaHaHa!!! GOOD!

West coast bias.

OK, that's pretty funny...

hey, it's Business Insider

Here's the current week's rankings.

http://www.businessinsider.com/nfl-power-rankings-week-17-2015-11



1. Arizona Cardinals

Record: 13-2
Week 17 opponent: vs. Seattle Seahawks
Week 16 MVP: Rookie running back David Johnson continued his hot streak, totaling 127 yards with a touchdown.
One thing to know: This may be the best team in football right now. They've somehow quietly won nine games in a row, they just throttled the third-best team in the NFC in the Packers, and could, amazingly, finish ahead of the 14-1 Panthers.

Great seeing the Cardinals get their props. They have worked hard and deserve credit.

Have to hope the team is not reading these and believing them. You can never let down when you are on top. Every team is aiming for you.

BA doesn't let them get full of themselves. The message is always harsh but honest. We haven't accomplished our goals yet.

It seems to have done wonders for Calais. Fitz is playing his best ball since Todd Haley used to motivate him. Palmer is having by far his best year after a blown out knee 13 months ago!!

BA knows how to push the right buttons and when. He is a master at psychology as much as a football mind.

I absolutely love this team and have all year. I was with Cheese earlier in the year though, after we lost to the Rams and Steelers, I felt like, when we get punched in the mouth we didn't really respond at that time. They then went on a 9-0 run. That's where we're at now.

If anyone hasn't seen the Dwight Freeney post game interview Sunday on the Cards site, please watch it, it's a must see. It moved me. It will give you shudders, and make you realize what we have. This is a guy who has a SB ring and #'s. Just for reference: SB ring, 7 Pro Bowls, 3 all Pro's, 2 AFC Championships, Defensive player of the year, Sacks leader in 2004, 100 total sacks (that's exclusive), 2000's all decade team.

He again said he's so happy BA called him. He seems to say it every week. He said this team works hard, offense and defense, that they're aggressive on both sides of the ball, that he's been dying to play on a team like this. That we're the most talented team he's ever played on. He said BA is freaking tough, a hard ass, and for someone with his experience, he knows, but he also said BA is fair, and honest, no matter what, whether you like it or not, and you have to respect that as a player. Freeney's post game comments were the best I've seen/heard all year, and more special because it comes from someone "outside". Very informative. Makes me love BA as our coach even more.

(Edit: It says something too, when a dude with Freeney's experience says the defensive schemes are "exotic". This is a vet, an old guy, saying that. Said it before, time to say it again, time to give Bettcher his due. Also love that he said the only guarantee as a player is that you're going to get hurt. For coaches, the only guarantee is that you're going to eventually get fired. That's the NFL)

Arians has a lot of experience of being on playoff teams. He knows what it takes to win it all by witnessing it first hand. Anything can happen in a given game, but I'm not worried about whether Arians is doing the right thing or not. Plus. it is pretty apparent that this team just really wants to beat Seattle. Playoffs or no playoffs, they want to go all out to win Sunday. Which I personally love, as I hate the Seahawks.
