Despite popular feeling, yes there is a football game tonight and yes, its our beloved 49ers!!!!

Make good decisions everyone! lol

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000715862/article/carson-palmer-ruled-out-for-thursday-vs-49ers

not that it matters

As long as they have someone with a pulse who can carry the ball, the QB shouldn't matter one bit. I picked up Wilhoite in my IDP league. I'm anticipating a whole lot of tackles four or five (or ten) yards past the LOS tonight.

49ers inactives: DE DeForest Buckner (foot), CB Jimmie Ward (quad), QB Christian Ponder, WR Keshawn Martin, OL John Theus and DL Glenn Dorsey.

Cardinals inactives: DE Robert Nkemdiche, QB Carson Palmer, TE Darren Fells, OT Cole Toner, DT Olsen Pierre, DE Ed Stinson and DE Ed Stinson

Ian Rapoport:

This will be fun: #AZCardinals DB Tyrann Mathieu will play vs. #49ers down in the slot, I’m told. Closer to the line, able to wreak havoc

Cardinals have not scored a single point in the 1st quarter this season. One would think that'll end tonight even with Palmer out.

Cardinals defense allowing 44.6% of 3rd downs to be converted on 3rd down (27th in the NFL). 49ers have converted 40% of the time on 3rd down (17th).

David Johnson is the only player in the NFL with 100+ yards from scrimmage in every game this season. How many people would expect he could get that in one (either) half tonight?

Larry Fitzgerald needs 18 catches tonight to pass Andre Johnson for 8th most all-time. Ok, he probably doesn't get that TONIGHT.. He can pass Reggie Wayne who is next on the list with 28 more catches. He needs 132 yards tonight to surpass Henry Ellard for 13th all-time on the receiving yards list. He needs 5 TDs to surpass Antonio Gates for 7th most receiving TDs all-time.

All the announcers pick The Cards....

AZ wins the toss. Will receive.

Cam Inman:

#49ers came out of tunnel and onto field in unison, rather than offense or defense intros. Not sure if new or not; no sound in press box

So did Mike Nolan. 33-23.

Crew already moaning and groaning over the dark jerseys because the numbers are hard to read. If it was up to me these would be the uniforms every single week from here on out. And I'm not usually a buck tradition guy.

Draughn just got put on lockdown on that return. Ugly.

Nelson could have a large night tonight IMO.

Not even 30 seconds and already across midfield. Yikes!

Armstead JUST about got his mitt on that pass.

Beautiful positioning by Brock on that pass. He almost fell backwards into the receiver but at least he was there.

Defense held thats a positive...

I think if Gabbert stinks it up this week with a long week It could be the chance to replace him after this game.

Celek WIDE open again to start the game. Overthrown.

2:32 minutes of play. 2 punts.
