Now before anybody rips on me I've always stated that it is NOT my desire that they stink... but it was my OPINION that they would. Still allot of season left but 3-0 teams make the playoffs 70% of the time.



3-0 and I was clearly wrong (however keep in mind we don't know what would've happen IF Skelton had NOT gotten hurt) but make no mistake the 2012 Cards are playing right now like the Super Bowl winning teams of The Bears, Buccaneers and Ravens.



What did those teams have in common...a KILLER Defense and special teams and a game managing QB. Jim McMahon, Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer (all super bowl ring wearers BTW) were not great QB's they managed the game. Didn't throw picks nor turn the ball over.



If the Cardinals continue their play all the way around like they have the first 3-weeks...they will make the playoffs and be a serious threat. BTW Ray Horton has no chance to be the DC next year.



When I'm wrong...I say I'm wrong...

The Cards have a very good shot in the next few weeks starting this week @ home vs Mia then followed by @ StL , Vs Buf, @ Min before facing SF @ home, if the qb's manage as well as they have AZ has a shot

The Cardinals are playing well on defense, not offense. Plus with a little luck (Missed field goal by the most accurate kicker in the NFL) they are 3-0.



It's WAy too early to evaluate them but it is good to see them doing well. But the fact is that they still have no running game and I think that will be there downfall along with Kevin Kolb as QB.



So, don't say your wrong yet Michael.

OMG, his head is GETTING BIGGER!!!!! Someone get the needle!
That was wrong of me to say, I'm sorry....

The Cards are playing great Defense, no doubt about it. Next game should be a win as well.

BTW - I did pick the Cards to win and won $20 bucks.

I keep waiting for the air to come out of the Cards but I just ain't seeing it. Why couldn't they play like this when I was doing pre and post games? Instead, I got games like the 49-0 beatdown in Arrowhead

Might be a blessing in disguise to have Wells get hurt. Maybe Williams will finally explode and turn into a bona fide RB1. That'll open up the passing game more then. and the Cards will be like the Ravens when they won the Bowl a few years back.

Michael, I know you've been down on their coaching. And I agree it should be changed. But sometimes in a magical season like 2008(I can't believe its been that long) the team wins not because of the coaching but despite of it and I hope it continues!!!!!
