11-6-10: Arizona Cardinals Bird Droppings

Everyone who watched that Suns game last night... What an ending huh?

NFL Week 9: Arizona Cardinals At Minnesota Vikings, Sunday 11:00 A.M. AZT - SB Nation Arizona
The Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals both stood among the NFC's heavyweights a season ago, but a litany of problems -- whether on or off the field -- have sent both teams spiraling down the conference pecking order near the middle stage of this 2010 campaign.

Friday before the Vikings
So the Cards head to Minnesota tomorrow with opportunity. Normally this trip to play the Vikings would seem to be an uphill climb, especially with the way the Cards have juggled QBs. But there is little question the Vikings are in a worse place as a team, after jettisoning Randy Moss and injury issues and stories all week about how coach Brad Childress is in trouble. If the Cards can handle Adrian Peterson – at least not let him run wild – and not turn it over, there is no reason to think the Cards can’t steal one. Here’s hoping they give themselves that chance.

Final Word: NFC West - NFC West Blog - ESPN
It's the turnovers. The Cardinals are 2-0 this season and 31-3 under coach Ken Whisenhunt when winning or even tying the turnover battle. They are 1-4 this season and 3-24 under Whisenhunt when losing the turnover battle. That's why it's so important for quarterback Derek Anderson to manage the game more efficiently. The late interception Anderson threw against Tampa Bay stands out as the classic unforced error. That type of play might be the only thing standing between the Cardinals and a third consecutive NFC West title.
