Arizona Cardinals vs. Minnesota Vikings "Flexed" to Prime Time

The Arizona Cardinals December 6th match-up with the Minnesota Vikings has been "flexed" to the Sunday night game on NBC, meaning the Cardinals will play their third prime time game of the season. The original game slotted for SNF was a game between the Patriots and Dolphins but with the Cards and Vikings leading their respective divisions and the draw of a Brett Favre vs. Kurt Warner duel, this game was a more intriguing option. The Cardinals are 1-1 in primetime games this season with a loss coming at the hands of Peyton Manning and the Colts but they exacted some revenge on the Manning family by beating Eli's Giants several weeks later.
The Cardinals are also scheduled for a Monday night tilt against the 49ers the following week so for the first time in franchise history, the Cardinals will play back to back nationally televised games.

Got to get back at Brett Favre for what he did to us last year...
I think we’ll bring our A game in this game. ::Knocks on Wood::

That just reminded me
Poor Eric Wood. That was brutal.

There's something w/ former Cards and broken legs.
First Michael Bush and now Eric Wood. And it only happened to Wood after Brohm signs with the Bills.

two birds with one stone
We can seek REVENGE on the Vikings and Favre.

Wonder if Whiz should save one of those birds for the playoffs, if we play them in the playoffs that is.

Is a 49er win this week a good thing then?
Keeping the Cardinals on their heals seems to make them play better. Once they had the division wrapped up last year we all know what happened. But Revenge is sure on the plate in this game.
What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

I've been rooting for the 49ers to win since their thursday nighter against the Bears
Not just to keep the Cards on their toes, but to have a more competitive division

Nothing on this planet
would compel me to ever root for the 49ers.
Man, I hate that team.

I do agree with you Maynard
But a 49er win wouldn’t threaten us too much, especially if the Cardinals win on Sunday.

Yea, as long as we win 3 of our 6 remaining games I feel safe.
The Niners would have to win all their remaining games if we win 3 games, which the Niners are not going to do.

I hear ya
…but I have more hatred for the whi9ers than ANY team in the NFL…I’m just personally sickened by that team all around and in every way. I can’t really do much else in regard to them except feel nauseous, hope for their demise and wish for their collective misery (as an NFL team).

I hear ya
I too hate the niners over any team…but even more do I hate hearing that the NFCW is the weakest division in football and that the Cardinals are only good because they’re in a weak division. It just pisses me off. As much as I hate the 9ers, I would like another team in the division to be above .500. They are simply the closest team to being competitive.

I think that it would hlep keep them from getting complacent like last year.
The 49ers almost caught up while we were stumbling.

Warner vs. Favre will probably be hyped up.
How many Quarterbacks can still play as well as these guys are at their age.

Good point, although if the Cardinals win, they'll only point out how the Vikings lost the game

The Quarterback Old Folk's Home / New School Hot Rookie Matchup!
With possible home field implications. Gotta love it.

This is actually a big deal.
If you include preseason v. steelers this will be the cards 4th time in a primetime sunday or monday night game this season. That’s pretty impressive.

Yup, would be 5 total after the MNF game
And count the playoffs last/this year and that’s a lot of national attention.

Most people are probably ****** that they don't get to see the Patriots instead of the "Fraudinals"...
We still don’t get a lot of respect, and a lot of people think all Cardinals fans are band-wagoners.
