It is time. The Arizona Cardinals will finally play the Pittsburgh Steelers. It is game time. The Cardinals should be at full strength, excluding Alex Okafor. They face a Steelers team without their starting quarterback and two defensive starters.
This is what this game is -- one the Cardinals should win without much doubt if they are the team we believe they are. With Ben Roethlisberger, this is a tossup, as it would be a marquee matchup against two very good teams. But without the Steelers' star, Arizona really should win this.
So this is your open thread. I don't know if there will be a second half thread. I will be traveling home from a family wedding during the game and probably can't get it up. Perhaps someone on staff will post it. Otherwise, this will be a long thread.
