This game is the first real measuring stick for the Arizona Cardinals defense. Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Wes Welker...tough stuff. Will Kevin Kolb play like he did in his game-winning drive against Seattle? Will the running game show up? Will the Cardinals at least show they will not roll over on the road?

This is the game thread. Join in. Talk Cardinals. Jump on in!

As a reminder, please keep the following in mind:

1. While we allow a bit more when it comes to language, if you can avoid swearing, it would be appreciated.

2. We still do not accept any personal attacks. Be passionate, but don't be out of line.

3. "Rec" your favorite comments. We will pull some comments to share with the whole site (What did Cardinals fans say?)

4. Do not ask for or post links to illegal streaming feeds of the game. Gamecasts, Slingbox, all that is cool. But sharing such links puts the entire network at risk of being shut down. If you do it, the comment will be deleted. If you persist, you will unfortunately be banned.

5. Have fun! Get to now each other!

I will shut this thread down during halftime and start a new thread. I will post the link.
