Arizona Cardinals Are NFC West Division Champions

by Andrew602 on Dec 20, 2009 5:47 PM MST in General Arizona Cardinals News

Soak it up guys - our Arizona Cardinals became the NFC West division champs for the second year in a row after the San Francisco 49ers lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 27-13. With the win over the Lions today, the Cardinals now stand at 9-5 and will host a wild card team in the 1st round of the playoffs. Here are some notes:

- This season will mark the 2nd time the Cardinals have appeared in the playoffs in a row since the 1974-1975 seasons.

- This is also the first time the Cardinals have had positive records two seasons in a row since the 1983-1984 seasons.

- With the win today, Ken Whisenhunt recorded the 4th most wins for a coach in Cardinals history with 26 total wins.

- The Cardinals can still gun for the #3 seed in the playoffs if the Eagles lose their next two games and the Cardinals win theirs. In all likeness, the Cardinals will be the #4 seed and host the Green Bay Packers at home two weeks in a row.

Congratulations to the Cardinals and what are your thoughts on them become NFC West Champs?

Why settle for #3?

The Cards can take the #2 seed if the following happens: Minnesota tanks the remaining 3 games, Arizona wins all 3 remaining games, and Dallas wins the division. Yahoo has a really good playoff scenario generator.

I think we will take the #3 seed and host Dallas or Phillie at home. Then we march thru Minnesota and New Orleans to taken on Indy in the Super Bowl!!

no rest for the starters…unless they can prove that they can win easily against St.Louis.
I’m hoping for the 3 seed.
I’ld like to see the Cowboys win the east, so the Eagles can knock off the Saints in rd 2 and the Cards will host the Championship game again.

Minnesota Loses

Time to watch Favre crash and burn at the end of the season. The only place I don’t want to go play is Philly. Any scenario that keeps the Cards from going through that stadium is fine with me.

Mind-boggling that Whisenhunt is already #4 on the Cards' wins rankings only after three seasons...

…for a franchise that has been around for ninety seasons.

Don't waste time or Time will waste you.

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.
