I'd have to agree. Maybe it's the whiskey and Ginger Ales but I'm somewhat subdued after this L. Oh I still cussed up a storm the last few minutes, but I've found some time to laugh at the eagles, share a joke with my wife, and call a good friend who's not into football at all. Losing to the best team in football, and not getting embarrassed is in my skewed Cardinal mind, not bad at all.
The only really bad thing about the loss is that, with a win, we had a decent shot to get homefield throughout the playoffs. Hopefully, we can rebound and get the #2 seed with Carolina losing today.
When I was ready to quit watching (in the second half) because the Giants had begun "pulling away" we would answer score with score. AND, as was stated, after all the bad ST play and sometimes sloppy play on O & D, had Brown recovered the on-sides kick that was IN HIS HANDS, we might have taken the world champs into overtime. Baby steps, I guess.......
If we aren't getting a bye I would rather be the 4 seed. Usually the 6th seed is playing their collective arses off by the time the playoffs start. Give me the #4 and then the G Men again.
Of course, I think we could take Tampa (current #2) in Tampa any day of the week.

3rd: Larry is Better than Q.
4th: Hood is not our #1 CB.
5th: Our OL could use 3 new starters. 4 if you don't move Gandy to guard.
6th: Dansby, Q, and A-Dub need to be re-signed.
7th: We must be more aggressive in Free Agency.
I agree I was somewhat upset right when the game was over, but after having a few hrs to soak it in i'm not that disapointed. We played very well vs a superbowl winner and almost came back at the end. If Brown actually had hands and caught that onside kick who knows things might have turned out differently . But cards have a short week lets come out ready to kick the eagles you know what on Thursday!!!! GO CARDS
Yeah so true donald i'm also worried about this game the eagles will probally start mcnabb just cause they are playing us. I really hope the cardinals bring a perfect game on thursday if we contain westbrook we shouldn't have to much of a problem but a lot easier said than done. Oh yeah even though Mcnabb is struggling we must contain him also he is still Mcnabb.
Poor run-blocking offensive line and poor cornerback depth and a lousy punter.
And the kickoff coverage has been disasterous in the wake of Ali Highsmith's injury and Tim Hightower's elevation to starting status.
On the plus side is the emergence of J.J. Arrington as a solid kickoff returner and valuable running back in the third down and no-huddle packages. At this point I'd like to see the Cardinals re-sign J.J. to a 2 or 3 year deal.

Reason: add positives
In control of our division, and losing a game that helps us in the NFC standings
In PHILLY where we love to meltdown
Whis is going to earn about 1/4 of his salary if we win this game, IMO.
D, perfectly put my brotha! Add to that list the opportunity for all of my eagles friends and family to call us frauds and roast me unmercifully until next Sunday, and you have a potential recipe for disaster!
