Biggest joke ever.
Wow, he says everything the other teams did wrong won't happen again, but everything the Cardinals have done right won't keep happening. Sixs weeks in is a large enough sample to know that's what we are seeing is what the teams are. The season is 35% over! By week 17, he'll say that the playoffs are different and the regular season means nothing.

Biggest joke ever.

Why? Because this guy says that the only undefeated team is really the 7th best team, and the rams, a team the Cardinals beat by 17 points on LA's home field is #1, six spots above them? Why does that not make sense to you Krang?

Kidding aside, what the author doesn't mention is that, in life, you make a lot of your own "luck". A little bit of it is a funny bounce here or there, but most of it is the Cardinals' own doing.

But that's okay. Let's just keep flying under the radar. Just like Clubber Lang in Rocky III.

Not going to get too worked up by whatever a Gary Gramling has to say, but this was funny:

What’s worrisome is an offensive system that requires the quarterback to maintain an MVP level over 17 games.

Yeah luck doesn't really exist. I mean, look at the Rams game. There was no luck involved in how that game played out. You could argue that the roughing call that negated Stafford's second interception was luck too.

Even if the Cardinals weren't getting "luck bounces" the would still be winning most of these games by a wide margin.

And his argument that the Cardinals are over reliant on Murray is laughable. EVERY good team is reliant on their QB.

Yet this isn't an argument used for the Bills. The Rams. The Packers.

That is okay with me, power ranks don't matter at all. As soon as we are in the playoffs, win the NFC and the superbowl it doesn't matter if we were ranked 1st or 6th in the last power Ranking before the playoffs.

I want our Team to win SB after SB after SB and they should start with one this year.

The power rankings will adapt after the Cards hoist the Lombardi

We rely on Kyler? More than Jackson or Prescott? We’re winning games with Kyler throwing for 230 yards and rushing for 25.

What we are seeing is the inherent bias in sports media.

I try to remove my own and base my takes on objective facts. I used to think Russell Wilson was an overrated game manager, but that belief wasn't rooted in fact after awhile.

Right now the Cardinals have the "Anti-Air Raid, Anti-short QB, and Anti-Kingsbury" bias. Tack that on to the historical view that every time the Cardinals look like they might be relevant, every thing falls apart.

I’m enjoying us flying under the radar. We can keep doing it until I’m partying in SoFi and will only have to take an Uber to get to back to my apartment for the AFTER PARTY!

That’s right folks... ALL OF YOU GONNA CRAM INTO MY ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENT FOR THE SUPER BOWL AFTERPARTY!
