We're one day removed from playing the Eagles here in Arizona. It shall be a good game, and again analysts are saying Arizona has no chance to win this game, but that's what they said the last two weeks.

The Complete Patrick Peterson
Patrick Peterson crept up on the edge of the tight Patriots formation on third-and-1, and proceeded to show why the Cardinals think he can be an elite all-around cornerback.

Word From the Birds Blog | Friday before the Eagles
"History tells us we might as well get ready for another two-minute drive to see who wins the game," quarterback Kevin Kolb half-joked this week. OK, maybe not half. He’s probably 94.6 percent dead serious.

Word From the Birds Blog | Skelton questionable and Kolb’s family question
Quarterback John Skelton was limited again Friday with his sore ankle and will be questionable for the game.

Word From the Birds Blog | DRC makes his return
The headlines this weekend begin with Kevin Kolb (probably) facing the Eagles for the first time since they traded him away. But it’s also the first chance for cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie — the other player in that trade — to return to Arizona for the first time. Kolb may have been hurt last year when the teams played in Philadelphia, but DRC was there, at least at first. DRC hurt his ankle returning the opening kickoff of the second half and missed the Cards’ rally that day.
