    Little-Speed-Hyphen

    Yesterday, I Lived it. Today, I am watching it. Wow. I will try to regroup and post my observations later, but, already I have to say I am seeing an intensity and determination from our team I didn't know was there. For example, down 10-0, Little-Speed-Hyphen took the return back to the 50...

    Seaching For Hope

    I have been wrong about everything I have thought. I believed Matt could continue our progression to dominance in our Division. I believed our Defense was special. I believed DA would start until there was no chance of making the playoffs. I was wrong about everything. I do not believe that an...

    Cards Running Game

    Shhh. Don't tell anyone that this team is currently ranked #2 in yards per carry at 5.8 and tied with the Chargers for 12th in yards per game. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/rushing/sort/yardsPerRushAttempt

    2010: The Cardinals' Season of Proof

    The Season of Proof begins today. Prove that the NFC West is ours, not because it is weak, but because we are strong. Prove that Super Bowl XLIII was no fluke. Prove that our success wasn’t about just one man under center. Prove that we should trust Coach Whisenhunt. Prove that the “experts”...

    Cards are Ready for Sunday

    http://blog.azcardinals.com/2010/09/10/friday-before-the-rams-2/ Darren Urban was asked: "So are they ready/" His answer: ” Yes. Ready. Mad as hell and aren’t going to take it anymore.” Gotta love it.

    I Spoke with Michael Bidwill Yesterday

    Michael Bidwill visited my place of work yesterday and I had the opportunity to shake his hand and talk for a few minutes. I considered asking him questions about recent events to get information I could post here, but decided to focus on saying “thanks” for the Team’s recent successes. He is...

    Practice Squad adds Green and Togafau

    http://twitter.com/cardschatter I think Marshay and Pago fill the last two spots. I also heard Coach say he doesn't anticipate any more likely roster changes.

    I Would Rather Be Wrong

    If loving you is wrong, I don’t want to be right. The writing is on the wall and I was wrong. I thought Matt Leinart would be our starting QB this year. Barring injury, I was sure of it. Everything I have seen, and know, indicated he was the choice most likely to lead us to victory. It...

    Carddan Says: Leinart Will Start

    I have struggled to understand the Coach's methods. The Coach has called a misdirection play on all of us. By stating it is more about chemistry than stats, it leads us all to believe Matt has the stats and DA the chemistry. When he names Leinart the starter four days from now, it will be a...

    Remember when this topic brought preseason panic? 3 for 24 tonight, not bad. I'll go with "good coachingf".

    The State of the CardNation

    We wandered in the desert, a biblical forty years it seemed. We had heroes and hopes but little else to show for the sweat shed on the grounds of Sun Devil Stadium. A single playoff victory, on the road against the Cowboys, was the high water mark during the long drought. We moved West, to...

    Nothing but Love

    I love OUR team, I always will. Today was not our best day, I believe that is yet to come. Don't expect to see me for a while but don't expect me to ever quit either.

    Playoff Experience

    Have you heard any of the "experts" mention that the Cardinals have the most playoff experience in the NFC? That's ok, the players know it. Last week I posted about my perspective leading into the playoffs. I used the phrase “confidence born from experience”. As Cardinal fans it is possible to...

    My Playoff Perspective

    Today, the NFL playoffs begin. Tomorrow, the Arizona Cardinals host the Green Bay Packers. I am just an average Cardinals’ fan. Yes, I can afford season tickets. Yes, I had a creative idea for face-painting and the skill to pull it off. Yes, I spend way too many hours of time studying the...

    Just A Game

    Tonight is just a game; just one football game out of one season in a lifetime. It may not be as important as life and death; it may not rival the importance of love or faith. And yet, for some of us, it is about these things also. We have been...

    LaRod Stephens-Howling

    To those saying he must be replaced as a returner, did he just earn himself some respect? Talk about changing momentum. We were on the verge of being down to where we couldn't come back and he gave us hope. Again, I trust the coaches to make the right choices. He also made a very solid...

    Cards #1 in 3rd Down Defense

    An awesome stat: http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/downs/sort/thirdDownConvPct/position/defense What a difference in this year's defense. Last year we ranked 28th at 44.4%. Less awesome is that we are 25th in Offensive 3rd down conversions and we are one of only 3 teams to not score...

    Protecting The Nest Against Birds

    Sunday will be the seventh game at UoP between the Cardinals and another team with a "bird" logo. The Eagles are 0-1. The Falcons are 0-2. The Seahawks are 0-3. The Cardinals protect their nest against other birds. Sunday we look to make the record against other birds 7-0! Too bad the Ravens...

    Halfway is Nowhere

    Our Regular Season is half finished and we are 5-3, again. September and October are past. November has begun. December and January are still far away. You could say that we are on pace to finish 10-6, but I don’t see it that way. I see us as one game shy of 6-3 and we need that game. I...

    Penalties

    2 for 15, not bad. Rushing yards and penalties were actually the biggest discrepancies between the teams. That, and the score of course! (I still can't get over Whiz smacking the microphone in his press conference)
