Kurt Warner will have a field day against our piss poor secondary. But there lack of run game will eventually hurt them. Mike Turner should go for 100+ again in the trouncing of Cardinals. Cant wait for the game. I really think that we can make a run to the NFC Championship but the Cardinals sure do worry me. I like the matchup against the Panthers for the third time this season. Matty Ice wont play like he did the first time they played in Carolina.
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

I'm a little worried about the aerial assault.

I think we'll try to control the game on the ground, and I can see Roddy having a big game.

The Cardinals are not built for the playoffs. They can't run the football and struggle with physical offenses like ours.

I'm a little worried about Ryan. He seems to have hit the rookie wall finally. The run game will probably have to carry us.

Turner should have a big game against Arizona's poor run D and Abe will show everyone why he should have been in the pro bowl.

I'm concerend about the Cards passing attack, and even with a lead they'll chuck it to get back in it.
They can take it, but I don't know how they laid down for the Vikes game.

I don't trust our defense at all, but I don't believe they have been playing 100% during the past couple games, so I'm expecting to see a different defense on the field this weekend. We need to create turnovers and just play smart.

The only way we will host a playoff game is if the Falcons and the Eagles win two road games and meet in the NFC Championship game. That game would take place on January 18.

Two wild card teams have never made it to a NFC Championship game, so I'm not going to get my hopes up, but I will be pulling for Philly to win even if it kills me. If we won our division and had the bye I would be pulling for Minny over Philly.

The Cards might be hungry, but lets put these less superior birds away!

tough loss, but Matt Ryan played a decent game, and the run game failed, and failed badly as well as our defense...

Strange game. Our two staples (running and pressuring the QB with Abraham leading the way) didn't do much at all. Ryan did alright for his 1st playoff game and I don't think we have anywhere to go but up next season.

Proud of the dirty birds this year! Thanks Mike Smith, Michael Turner, and Matt Ryan for a surprisingly great season!

The Cards came to play and we had some costly turnovers. It's all good, the future is bright, and we can continue building a winner for years to come.

I find it entertaining that your wishing us good luck during the off-season, because we actually have players that want to be here, and it seems as if your Cards have more issues to deal with as far as chemistry.

I won't let you ruin the fact that I hope Arizona beats Carolina this weekend. However, prepare yourself, because most likely it's over for you after this weekend.
