2008 Arizona Cardinals Predictions


Record = 9-7 (possible wild card) We start off hottttt but that brutal 2nd half schedule gets us.

Offense:

Tim Hightower scores 6 TD's for us this year. However Edge does accumalate another 1200 yards and becomes top 5 all time.

Matt Leinart finally becomes the QBOF and show why we drafted him. However he will be dinged and probably miss 1 game possibly 2. Will have less than 12 Ints with 22 or more TD's.

Q and fitz both have great years. However this year Q is determined a little more than usual and gets the nod for the PB.

Steve Breaston will return 2 punts for TD's

Whisenhunt finally pulls out the trick plays we heard about in Pitt. and uses them at least 5 times at various points during the season.

Rackers recovers and has a solid and steady season as the kicker.

Defense:

Finally emerges and is a solid top 10 Defense in the NFL

Adrian Wilson returns to the PB and has a monster year I predict at least one fumble or int for a TD.

Karlos Dansby is a man possessed and will make his 1st PB. Will have 6+ sacks and be involved in at least 4 TO's either by Int or FF.

Chike Okeafor makes us completely forget about the season Pace had. 8 sacks.

Calais Campbell and Iwebema play well enough in their rookie campaigns to allow us to let Antonio Smith to walk next year.

Rod Hood will again lead the team in Int's

6 guesses for O and 7 for D!

What are yours?

I likes - Here's mine...

Cardinals start out the season the darlings of the NFL and go 5-1

We will go 4-2 in the division (losing at St Louis and at Seattle)

We will finish 10 - 6

Leinart will finish with 23 TD's and 14 INT's

Boldin will have a better year then Fitz

An offensive line injury will lead to a second half slide

Our running game will finish in the Top 18 and be more effective then ever

Bread Truck will have a good enough year that we cut James next off season

Hood and DCR will have a good enough year that we let Green Walk

So will the two rookie DE's with Smith

Wilson, Dockett, Dansby, Boldin, and Levi Brown will make the Pro Bowl

So will Neil Rackers

Wilson will break his record of 8 sacks for a DB

We will lose two games we shouldn't (ST Louis on the road and another gimme)

We will be 4-4 on the road and 6-2 at home

We will (finally) win the division but get knocked out in the first round by New Orleans

There will be no such Matt Leinart questions going into next off season

good job Shane!


Hard to compete but here are mine:

10-6 NFC West champs

Offense

Leinart 2,500 yards 19 TD's 12 INTS

Edge 1,300 yards 8 TD's

Hightower 350 yards 4 TD's

Fitz 101 catches 1095 yards 7 TD's

Q- 85 grabs 980 yards 6 TD's

Surprise player:

Not much of a surprise to many in here: Elton Brown

Defense:

Haggans 4.5 Sacks

Dansby will lead in tackles 105

AW and Rolle will be starting safeties in the ProBowl!

Rolle will lead the team with 8 or 9 picks

Branch will validate my anger on draft day 2007 as to why we traded up to draft him and will be gone by next offseason.

Surprise Player

DRC

Will be starting by week 7 will end up with 7 picks

after a fast start (4-2), we end the year 8-8, needing to win in Indianapolis at the end of the year to make the play offs but falling short.

We go 5-1 in the division (as does Seattle)

Boldin has a nice start, but battles that calf injury on and off all year.

Leinart has a solid year with 22tds and 14ints and about 3000 yards.

Warner not starting is given as the reason we miss the play offs.

?????? Are you thinking of NE? Don't worry every team is entitled to one shocking win every year and that game is ours!

Last game of the season against Seattle determines who goes to the playoffs in the NFC West.

Both teams 8-7 up to that point.

It all depends on who our PK is. With Rackers, we are 8-8 & he will cost us at least 2 games. With a different kicker, we will be looking at 10-6 & NFC West champions. It's absolutely mind boggling that that some on this board predict that he will rebound. Rebound from what? 95% of his career has revolved around him having a great leg, but missing 50% of his clutch kicks. We have NO shot at the playoffs with this guy. I'm probably wrong in saying that he will cost us 2 games because he will be gone after the 1st miscue. That being said, I'll predict 9-7 & a possible wild card slot.

i have video of him up at training camp guaranteeing to me he will get "anything over 6" for the number of pics, and he will take four back to the house, so i would be pumped if that is true.

Boils down to these points:

1.) First 3 out of 4 games are on the road... Uh..... anyone check our road record over the last 5 years??

2.) Our last 7 games of the season are against high-quality, playoff caliber teams, with the exception being the Rams... The other six are Seattle (twice), Giants, Eagles, Vikings & Patriots. Eagles and Pats are road games!!


We better figure out the secret to winning on the road, and we better dominate early in the season, or - come the halfway point, 2008 can very easily be toast...

10-6

- Kurt Warner, Fitz, A-dub, Dansby and (darkhorse) Antrel Rolle are Pro Bowlers

- Edge gets dinged and misses two games. Hightower rushes for 100 yards in both starts.

- DRC is a starter after the bye week.

- Defense and running game are top 15

- Playoff win. Mark it down.
