Breaking Down the Arizona Cardinals 2009 Schedule

East coast on the Giants games as it is not an early game. It wasn’t that we had a problem on the road last it as we won the 3 road games in our division but it was the east coast games that killed us. Beating Seattle and SanFran will be tough to at their house but I think we can pull a win in both those games. The tough tests on the road will be the Giants and Tenneessee. Those two should be tough but again I think we could pull off wins against both those teams. The problem will be how tired we get having a week 4 bye. Looking at this schedule I think we could win 10+ this year taking our division again.

Can’t wait to be at that SanFran game and this just make the next 5 months even tougher to wait for.

Having the bye early in the season will put John Lott’s strength and conditioning program to the test this year. The Cards saw major dividends last year in the roster staying healthy throughout the season (aside from Q and TE) and those dividends need to appreciate to staying healthy for a long haul. Then the Cards can rest for that first round bye in the playoffs. ::smirk:: Stephen Spach is the only one (I hope it stays that way) that may benefit from the early bye as he may be on the PUP list rehabbing his knee.

Who can remember the last opening game opponent that wasn’t the Niners…without looking it up…and who was the starting QB for that game?

we have played the Niners for 4 years in a row, including this season, so that would mean the last time we played another team was 2005. I believe we played the NFC East and AFC South that year and I think it came from one of those 2 divisions. I am pretty sure it was the Giants and if that is the case Warner was on the Giants team that year so he would have been the QB, might of been the Colts but I am sure it was the Giants..

on the Shutdown Corner just pissed me off. The title of the story is “The five worst prime-time games on the 2009 NFL schedule” and if you scroll down to the bottom of the blog it has the #1 worst game of the prime-time games being the Cards and Niners matchup on Monday night football. I don’t know about you guys but they have played each other on prime time the last few years and both of them went down to the final minutes. I thought there were exciting games but apparently they arn’t worth watching because Chris Chase says it’s the worst game of the prim times….what a hack.

Here is the link to the blog itself: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/The-five-worst-prime-time-games-on-the-2009-NFL-?urn=nfl,155759

Every year I start getting excited for the next season the day after the previous season is over. Normally because these is a glimmer of hope (I drank a LOT of Koolaid growing up) but now its for a repeat. I understand the chances of getting back are maybe 1-8 but there is a realistic chance now. I am also excited for the draft, unfortunetly I will be out of town for this years draft and will have to catch up on it when I get back (later that evening).

Did anyone else catch Somers little not about the NFL trying to create a rivalry between the Niners and Cards and that’s the reasoning behind four straight openers between the two teams. A second consecutive season of primetime games between the two teams doesn’t exactly hurt his theory either. Anyone else buying it?

Seat reassignments starts in two weeks.

My account manager said if you requested a move you should be hearing something soon.

Also, now that the schedule is posted do the people who expressed interest in buying some games from me want to go to those? I’m going to start trying to plan in advance which games I’m going to. I’m definitely going to the Colts game, but I’d be willing to give up my 49ers game because I have a class that starts the week before.
