Sunday Morning Bloody Mary: The Division Games

by Andrew602 on Nov 28, 2010 12:27 PM MST

Considering that the Arizona Cardinals don't take the field until tomorrow night, posting their injury report today wouldn't make much sense. Instead, I'll look at the remaining division games that take place later today. The Cardinals are clearly not the powerhouse of the division, but who really is? Seattle is the current leader, but aren't scaring anyone away from home. The Rams have wiped away the frightening memories from the last few seasons. They drafted a franchise quarterback who has revived life in their team. Be that as it may, their lack of big game experience hinders some of their talent.

Kansas City Chiefs at Seattle Seahawks - Nothing more would make me happy then seeing the team that flattened the Cardinals one week ago do the same to the Hawks in front of their home crowd today. Luckily for Seattle, that crowd gives them a giant advantage. This game is extremely important for Seattle. The Chiefs are leading their division and are one of the best young teams in the league. A win today would give them a considerable division lead. It would also put their record above .500 and build some confidence after they've dropped 3 out of the last 4 games.

St. Louis Rams at Denver Broncos - The Rams travel to Denver in a very winnable contest. The Broncos are a reflection of the Cardinals this season, posting a disappointing 3-7 record after the high expectations they held heading into this season. With a Seattle loss and a Rams victory today, St. Louis would take the division lead(they defeated the Seahawks earlier this season). With Denver's dangerous 1-2 punch of Kyle Orton and Brandon Lloyd, the Rams secondary will need to be at the top of it's game to pull out the victory.

Be sure to watch today's division games with hopes that both teams lose. After all, it would strengthen that sliver of of hope that the Cardinals could still win the division. Stranger things have happened in the NFL.

DRINK RESPONSIBLY WITH ABSOLUT.

I hope they lose

After that, we have to capitalize off that. Something we haven’t done this season.

AZ Cardinals 2010

Moving ahead with my theory that the Cards (Whiz and Bidwell) are throwing the season in hopes of landing a cash cow from the draft, look for the Cardinals to go winless till the end of the season.

The Cards would also be looking for some key matchups in the coming weeks:

Week 12 – Carolina over Cleveland
Week 13 – Buffalo over Minnesota and Carolina over Seattle
Week 14 – Buffalo over Cleveland
Week 15 – Carolina over Arizona, Cincinatti over Cleveland and Buffalo over Miami
Week 16 – Detroit over Miami and San Diego over Cincinatti
Week 17 – Detroit over Minnesota

This is the key to capturing the worst record in the NFL. “In Whiz We Trust!”

Coach Whiz isn't throwing the season away

He’d rather lose his job than lose the season.

You are fool AZ Retiree

A fool?

We shall see. I am just basing my opinion on facts and eye witness accounts along with official stats from the NFL. If I am wrong, then Whizenhunt is just the worst HC in the NFL. I would apologize for piling on a dunce who was once fortunate enough to have a Football genius in Kurt Warner, running his Offense and carrying the team to the playoffs and a Superbowl.

Without Kurt Warner calling the shots, it is obvious that Whisenhunt is a lost puppy peeing on the porch. He has come from ahead to lose game after game. The Arizona Cardinals fans deserve better.

Some “fans” seem to relish losing and want to revert back to the bad ol’ days. I am not in bed with them. This is the NFL and I demand excellence in all aspects of the game and a perrennial playoff team!

If the Arizona Cardinals can not provide it’s fans with a quality product, then move it over to Los Angeles. Those folks would take this sorry outfit of losers that they are. Arizona is all about survival and grit. The Cardinals, at this point, are all about sloppiness, poor effort, and bad decision making. If any creature tries to venture into the desert with those attributes, it would be dead in a hurry!

It is time to write the Obituary for the 2010 Cardinals:

Here lies the Arizona Cardinals,
It was sad when they lost their genitals.
They came to entertain the masses,
But all they did was show their asses.
Some said “In Whiz We Trust!”,
Too bad, he turned out a bust!

RIP

Try as they may, defeat was all they could muster,

Maybe your facts, stats, and eye witness accounts are on another thread

You just listed a bunch of predicted outcomes for games. I’m not giving up on our team. Been a season ticket holder for 10 years. Whiz has never led up to a losing record. I’m thrilled to have him as HC, but we need a OC. There’s too much to do on Sundays that Whiz can’t handle it all.

With all your Whiz bashing I’d like to hear a suggestion on who should be our HC. Vick, McNabb, and Cutler were all options to be our QB during the last few offseasons but the FO decided to ride Kurt out while no backup plan. I put our dismal season on the FO, not Whiz. Matty was and will never be a solid QB in this league, you got to praise Whiz for saving some $ in hopes the FO will use it for a capable replacement. 8+ million is too much for a backup and that’s all he was here.

Let’s share the accountability for this disappointing season. Players, coaches, and the FO all deserve blame. While we’re at it, fans too. Sad to see a quiet nest week in, week out when we had our best seasons in team history the last few years.

He thinks Kurt should be the HC

Because great players obviously make great coaches coughsingletarycough

Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team(s), throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.

I never paid attention to the announcers during the Cards game but after watching Pack-Falcons

Brian Billick is a horrible color man

F Dallas

+1, Billick sucks as an announcer.

Misprint!

Week 16 should read Cincinatti over San Diego.

I do not think the Kansas City Chiefs are going to get it easy away to the Hawks. That crowd is intimidating and the fact that the Rams are top of their division makes it even harder for the visitors to win there.
