Let's not forget that our 5-3 record is more impressive because 5 of our 8 games have been played on the road. This team is very, very close to being 7-1 & then there would be comparisons to the Giants. I've been following the Cardinals since the early 60's, and I think this is the most BALANCED team they have ever had in my lifetime. The 70's offense was ahead of its time, but their defense was serviceable at best. I know this year's defense has had it's bad moments, but overall it is far better than anything in the 60's & 70's.
Whisenhunt is SOLID & has this team playing fundamentally solid & tough football. It's one thing to be a physical team, but slowly & surely, this team is starting to be a mentally tough team also. They are not folding after a bad play or a bad series.
I know that some of us are concerned about the Monday Night game, because that's what Cardinals fans do - worry. The Niners will have to play very, very well to beat us. I still think that Whiz will outcoach Singletary by a ton, although Singletary have will have that team fired up coming out the gates. I expect the Cardinals to eventually wear the Niners down & win by 2 scores.
