NFL Week 3 Cardinals vs. 49ers live blog and reactions

The time is here. It is time to cheer on the Arizona Cardinals, as they host the division rival San Francisco 49ers.

Arizona could start the season 3-0 and do so with their backup quarterback starting two of those games.

They will play with a defense that is missing many starters from last year. We knew about Karlos Dansby, Daryl Washington and Darnell Dockett, but now John Abraham is on injured reserve. Tyrann Mathieu still is an unknown commodity upon return from his injury.

But now you can chat and discuss the game we all want so badly to be a victory.

In the meantime, some reading:
