Arizona Cardinals Fly Around the NFC West

With four weeks in the books, the Arizona Cardinals still sit atop the NFC West with a record of 2-2. They're the only team that's scored more points than they've allowed, albeit not by much (3) but the tougher part of the schedule is yet to come. The Seahawks are the only team that hasn't played four games since their bye week was last week.

San Francisco:

The Niners went to the Superdome this past weekend and got rocked by the Saints 31-17 in a game that somewhat mirrored the Cardinals' loss. JT O'Sullivan had problems with ball control (2 picks and a fumble) and the Niners allowed the Saints to have a big 2nd quarter (21 points). Sound familiar? The Niners haven't generated much pass rush this season and fans are starting to wonder if Patrick Willis isn't the answer. Why not, he can do everything else? Their opponents haven't had many problems putting pressure on JT O'Sullivan though considering that he's currently on pace to tie the NFL record for sacks in a season (76).

Seattle:

The Seahawks are coming off their bye week and face a huge test this week as they have to travel to the Meadowlands to take on the Giants. The Hawks, much like our very own Cardinals, haven't fared very well in cross-country games, but they did catch a break considering that Plaxico Burress will be suspended for the game. They will have their hands full though with the rest of the Giants offense that ranks 4th in the league thanks in large part to Brandon Jacobs and the running game.

St. Louis:

The Rams have more story lines that we've got time to cover but to get the ball rolling, they're 0-4, have been outscored more than 100 points on the season, fired thier coach and flip-flopped thier starting quarterbacks. The Rams are no doubt in the depths of despair right now but they've still got the weapons to put points on anyone and the new coach, Jim Haslett, would like to bring back a cornerback who was recently cut to help out the defense.

uni's

CG, can you put a side by side pic up of Pitt’s uniform with the Jets uniform of this past weekend? Aside from the helmets, I thought they looked rather similar. Needless to say they both won. Can we get some uni’s like that?

get some uni's that guarantee a win?

I’d be all for that….

Which Cardinals throwbacks would make like to see resurrected?

Realistically...

….we’d only have to go back to Dennis Green’s first year as coach to get our “throwback” jersey, as the all-red jersey hadn’t changed….ever? Even the white jersey only changed minorly in 44 years. So put on your old Plummer or Tillman jersey and you’re ready to go.

Subtle difference in the last 40+ years

The Cardinals, they’re pretty steady with their uniform over the years. Imagine if they changed their uniforms as often as some MLB or NBA teams do? The differences came down to whether the “third” colour was black or blue for accent piping, whether the Cardinal logo was on the sleeve, and the addition of the Arizona flag; this was only relevant to the white jersey as the red jersey handn’t changed in forever.

I believe the Cardinals “official” alternate jersey is just the solid red jersey with white numerals; that may be all they’d do for a throwback jersey while bringing out the old Cardinals logo from the 1960’s St. Louis days. Some of the long sleeve looks with the red helmet era would be cool, especially on the road on a cold December day. Say…against the Patriots?

Personally, I’d like to see them come out with a mostly black alternate jersey, with cardinal red numbers and white piping. That may be too much like the Falcons’ jersey, a comment their current uniforms already get regularly as they are.

good stuff

I’d love to see a team roll out with some long sleeve jerseys for a cold game.

A alternate black jersey would be pretty cool too. Anything to sell another type of jersey. (more $$$, are you listening Mr. Bidwell?)

How about the Chicago Cards Logos?

1920-1934 Did the bears steel this one?

1947-1959 Looks a lot like the Baseball Cardinals

I like that one and the CC look

I wouldn’t mind them rolling out in those uni’s one night. Just something to change it up.
