    Was my hunch right?

    All during the off season and well into training camp, I felt that Blaine Gabbert was the best QB on this 2017 season roster. He may have just proved that today. It's too bad that most of the seasoned veterans on this team are so far removed from being willing to expend enough effort to make...

    This Team-----My Take

    After watching two games in this new 2017 season, I have concluded the following: 1. This team is completely disjointed, and seriously appears to lack solid direction not only from its veteran players, but from the coaching staff itself. I find it strange that, the starters for the most...

    Terrible Offense

    Worst half of football I have ever seen from Carson Palmer. No footwork, nearly all throw are arm throws lacking direction and touch, seemingly brain slow reads. Really stinking up the place.

    Pre-Season, 2017,----------my take

    Well, here we are about to close out our pre-season with the final game, (this one being of importance only for a handful of rookies and wannabe vets that are still vying for their places on BAs final 53 man roster). While that is extremely important to those on the bubble, most of our roster...

    Cards at Falcons----my take

    I was extremely pleased with the play of all three of our units as it was clear to me that BA had his hands all over this game and had his roster ready to play. Before I talk about the good however, I want to get the bad off my chest. Wisely, I thought, BA removed David Johnson from the game...

    Arians appoints Drew Stanton as this year's #2 QB over Gabbert

    Citing that Gabbert does not know the play book, Arians has chosen Stanton again as the # 2 QB for this season. I express great disappointment in that decision, as Stanton had shown exactly zero improvement in his entire time here with this offense, and the ONLY consistency he has shown is that...

    Raiders game----my take

    Well, here goes---------after being absent for more than a year this is what I saw last night. I liked the entire team effort overall, (with the exception of the defensive lapse at the end of the half). I was very disappointed that this team still has mental and emotional lapses like that...

    I'm Back-----

    Hey guys, now that training camp is underway, I want to take this opportunity to say 'Hello' to all my friends here at AFSN. I have been away for a little over a year now due to illness and family matters. Now that things are better again, and a new season is almost upon us, I look forward to...

    READY FOR A NEW SEASON:

    Here we are again, just 4 days removed from the start of a new Cardinals season. I am elated to be alive and well enough to be seeing another of these begin, and especially to know that our Cards are pretty much consensus picks to be among the top seven teams that will be competing for Super...

    OT: Former Card Conrad Dobler angry

    Conrad Dobler, former Pro Bowl Guard for the Cardinals is suffering from memory loss. According to an article on internet news today, Dobler says that he has 6 children and cannot even recall their names. Dobler says that he has always prided himself on his great memory, but now he can't even...

    OT: Entire Sports World Loses Legend

    Today the entire sports world lost legendary baseball catcher and award winning broadcaster, Joe Garagiola. He passed away at the age of 90. He will be missed by many, but especially those of us who regularly got to see him with appearances in the broadcast booth of the Arizona Diamondbacks...

    This season-----my take.

    I want to thank everyone in the Cardinals franchise for giving us this positively wonderful season to follow. Although we fell short of their expectations of going to a Super Bowl, they far exceeded my own expectations by going 13 and 3 in the regular season and adding a 14th win in the...

    The meltdown against Seattle, my take.

    Strangely enough, I am not bitter, or angry, or disgusted, or even greatly disappointed with our loss to Seattle on Sunday. There are several reasons for this. For one, I don't know if you noticed it, but this was a complete 'team loss'. It was done by everyone 'together', just like they...

    Give Credit to both teams

    To Minnesota for coming in here and playing very tough and hard nosed football after being called out by their coach after the loss to Seattle, despite the short week and the travel day included. To Arizona for refusing to give in and for sticking to their game plan of corralling Adrian...

    Food for thought-------------------

    After watching the fruitless attempts by our O-line to create holes for running backs on short yardage situations Sunday, it was apparent that Cooper's absence was greatly felt despite his inconsistencies. What was less noticeable, however, (although it has been ongoing for a number of years...

    Well, there you have it-----

    It turns out that the uneasiness felt by several of us on the board during this weekly buildup to the road game with the Niners was justified. What was nice about this occasion however, was that the 'Old Cards' did not rear their ugly side and give in to a divisional rival who was laying in...

    Cards pass critical test

    For some time now, Mitch has been writing about whether our Cardinals are tough enough to take that next step towards getting into, and going deep in the play offs and compete for a Super Bowl. Sunday night in Seattle, the Red Birds produced a pretty definitive answer. In a knock down, drag...

    The loss in the 'Burgh-----my take

    I have seen posts today and tonight claiming all sorts of reasons why this Cardinals team left yet another winnable game on the table in Pittsburgh. They range in scale from: 1. Poor officiating by the Ed Hocculi officiating crew. 2. The arrogance of Bruce Arians, Head Coach. 3. A...

    WOW

    I will say this--------- A loss certainly inspired a return of passionate posting to the board. Things had been very calm and laid back here for most of the off season and even the beginning of this one early on. It is nice to know that most posters here still have a grasp of what...

    A Bitter Pill to Swallow:

    This one smarts, not just because we lost to a divisional opponent, but by the manner in which we lost. After believing in the Mantra, Cardinals will not cause Cardinals to lose, they did just that, (caused themselves a smarting loss at home against a bitter rival). It began when the...

    Silent Snap Count Required:

    Several posters have noted that despite the complete 'whuppin' that our Red Birds layed on the 'Niners, two of our offensive linemen had an atrocious start to that game. Most were alarmed that Jared Veldheer was initially penalized twice for jumping the count, and then forced into a holding...

    A good win

    OK then---------#1 is out of the way, and it was a very good win. That is not to say that there won't be a number of red faces when BA breaks out his little note book during the film sessions this week, but that the overall effort was sufficient to chalk up a pretty solid W to begin the new...

    Saturday before our season opener:

    Well, here it finally is, the last day before our season opener tomorrow against the Saints and Drew Brees. What a seemingly strange tack this off season has taken. BA had promised that the cuts this year to get to roster strength would be brutal, and he was right. How appropriate was it that...

    QB or not QB---------------

    That is all I will address after this last pre-season game. Since I do not know how many QB's the team will keep, (they have been saying only two), I will go with that for now. I will say that after watching all the preseason games, my selection for #3 QB on this team would be Logan Thomas...

    #1 Offense (in a funk)

    On a night in Oakland, the normally reliable #1 Offense was the unit that failed to impress. Despite playing an entire half, that unit could only manage to put three points on the board. Meanwhile the Defense kept the team in the game by not allowing any of the bad field possessions to become...
