This is a winnable game folks. We're at home, against a team without their starting QB. Can we do it?

We can, but a guy like Kirk is going to have to have a break out game in relation to the scoreboard or David Johnson is going to have to have a lot more rushing yards :)

I thought we would win even with Cam playing. I watched their first two games and am not impressed.

I almost hope Cam tries to gut it through because he looked AWFUL in last Thursday nights game.

Given the way Cam has looked I’m not sure how big a loss he is for them. He has no explosiveness and can’t hit wide open receivers.

Winning in the NFL is fickle for a young team, but the Cardinals have been able to get a feel that it's possible by some late comebacks but you have to learn to win and we just might need a little more experience. It's a totally different game once the fourth quarter arrives and you have to find how one wins at this level. I have seen good teams in the space of three quarters have the position to win, but take a while to figure out how to win, there is no quick fix. All the plays get under a microscope. A young team (QB and coach) cannot have false starts/ holding calls, lapses in execution (one tackle misses his block and you end up losing in a game of inches), missed assignments on defense, you cannot drop that five yard pass and end up with a third and eight late in the game multiple times. This team needs to finally be ahead entering that fourth quarter (hence, a better early start) in my judgement to win till they are able to see how they can win in a close one

if we're going to be competitive this year long term, they gotta win this sucker. I think they pull it out setting up a nice showdown with the Hawks as a kind of prove it game.

Yea Lets hope Cam plays. We lost to Vinny Testaverde when he was called off his couch for the Panthers. I think the Panthers could hold a lottery this week to aelect a QB and we would lose to them . lol. But if Cam plays ....we got this.

Yes we can. I expect the Card's to win.

However I feel our chances get worse if Cam does not play - I can't see how the backup is not better than what he has shown so far this year.
