The Arizona Cardinals got on the board in the first following the big play of LaRod Stephens-Howling. Chester Taylor showed his ups, leaping over the offensive line for a one yard score. However, offensive ball security remains an issue as Rob Housler coughed up the ball.

The defense looked average in the middle of the field, but tightened up in the red zone.

Certainly no love lost between these division rivals. Brown gets a unnecessary roughness for having John Skelton's back.

The Cards go into halftime up 10 - 3.

And please keep punting to Patrick Peterson. Please!

This is it. It is the last game of the disappointing, but (as of late) thrilling 2011 season for the Arizona Cardinals. It ends against the Seattle Seahawks, who beat the Cards in Seattle 13-10 long, long ago when Beanie Wells was unable to play because of his hamstring.

John Skelton is likely to get the start, the Cardiac Cards are likely to still continue.

Seattle and Arizona have identical records -- overall, in conference and in division. Who will come out on top? Hopefully the Cards do. Join in on the conversation one last time.

Welcome to the second half of the Week 16 Bengals Cardinals game, and so far it looks like the Cards just want to get home for Christmas. Entering the half the Cardinals are down 20-0 and the entire team is struggling badly. This just looks like a repeat of the 49ers game from a few weeks ago with the offense struggling to gain yards and hold on to the ball and the defense failing to stop the Bengals with all the time they are on the field.

The only highlight is a frontfilp by Jerome Simpson where he jumped over a defender for a score. Unfortunately Simpson plays for the Bengals but there isn't really anything else to cheer about....

The Arizona Cardinals are back East playing the early game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Both teams must win to just stay in the hunt for a playoff berth, and are hoping for an early Christmas gift.

The Arizona Cardinals started slowly again and fell behind 10-0 to the Cleveland Browns. Peyton Hillis has run for 69 first half yards and the offense struggled to start. However, the second quarter looked better and Todd Heap is very involved in the offense so far. A late drive led by John Skelton that ended in a TD pass to Andre Roberts pulled the Cards to within 10-7.

join in on the chat as the Cards hopefully play the final 30 minutes the way they played the last two of the first half. Game on!

The Arizona Cardinals seek their fourth straight win and sixth in seven against the Cleveland Browns. A win would bring the Cardinals' record to 7-7, an amazing feat, considering the 1-6 start to the season. Jon Skelton will start for Arizona and Seneca Wallace will be the guy to go for the Browns. Both of the regular starters, Kevin Kolb and Colt McCoy, suffered concussions in their last start.

Welcome to the second half gamethread for the Week Fourteen game between the Cardinals and the 49ers. The Cards are currently down 12-7 at the half.

The big story of this game is that Kevin Kolb was injured after a knee to the head after a sack. Since then John Skelton has played the rest of the game, he threw a 60 yard touchdown to Early Doucet but he was also picked off deep in Cardinals territory late in the first half leading to a field goal for the 49ers. He also lost a fumble after a scramble.

The Cardinals defense has also played very well all day long. The 49ers have had the ball for 22 and a half minutes, yet they only have 12 points, 155 total yards, and Alex Smith has been sacked four times and hit seven other times. There was also a bizarre play with a fake field goal that was overturned because a challenge flag was thrown before the play, but it would take too long to go over all of that over here....
