Cardinals vs. Saints game thread

[CubanMustGo]

Who to pick in this one?

Cards play well on the road this season (6-2) but the pass defense (hello, Michael Adams) looked really lame yesterday. They might get Boldin back at WR, but they really don't need him to be successful. Can the old man keep up his torrid pace throwing the ball?

Saints started out the season like gangbusters but then dropped three straight, including one to the freaking Tampa Bay Succanears. For this team as much as any in the league, getting off to a good start is a key because the franchise's collective psyche is fragile.

why? so everyone can see the D-Ware wrecking ball kick the shit out of brees.

[samikeyp]

I don't care who Dallas plays as long as they can keep winning. I would not mind though, if they won Sunday if they ended facing and beating the Cardinals. I have a friend who for the most part is a nice guy but when it comes to his teams, he is quite the douche. (He's a Suns and Cards fan but lives in Dallas...go figure)

As long as Dallas stays focused and doesn't let the talk of them being the favorite get to their head, they'll beat Minnesota by multiple possessions. I can't look at that defense and find a noticeable weakness to attack. Scandrick, Jenkins and Newman will do a good job on Rice, Harvin and Berrian while Spencer and Ware neuter Minnesota's offensive line.

No, I'm not a Dallas fan :lol, I made a bet with my friend at the beginning of the season and I lose $200 bucks if Minnesota makes the superbowl, so I'm praying Dallas wins.

[760Spursfan]

Saints 35 - Cards 21

The way the Cards D played I am going with Brees having a good game and coming out on top.

That's assuming that the Dallas will get past the Vikes

[johngateswhiteley]

Wow, Dallas fans getting cocky...and people down on the (my) saints. Whatever...

Saints 33
Cards 27

[pawe]

Redskins and Cowboys were successful against the Saints because of the run. Unfortunately for the Cards, they dont have a running game/RBs are prone to fumbling the ball.
Hopefully, DRC and McFadden can cover the bigger WRs of the Saints.
Saints 14
Cards 17

Go Big Red!!!

[CubanMustGo]

Cards had 156 yards against the top rushing defense in the league (83.3 ypg) yesterday ...

[pawe]

It was an offensive battle between the Cards and Packs so the yards gained on that game was really hard to believe..like it doesnt reflect the real cards' running game w/c IMO is shit, sloppy gaps by O-line and TO prone. Even RB Hightower doubles as a WR at times just to get a good running start.

Everyone is forgetting that the Saints' D was banged up and I think they're ready to go for this game.

No easy way to the playoffs for every team this year and I for sure will enjoy the last few remaining weeks of the football season.

[badfish22]

I hope the Saints win....everyone wants to see a Cowboys vs Saints NFC championship :elephant

Im way more scared of the Cards than the Saints.
Although we would get the Cards at home wouldn't we........

I'm not sure who I want to win. Should be a great game though. If the Cowboys dont win the superbowl, I hope Arizona does.

[da_suns_fan]

As long as the Cowboys lose, I'll be happy.

[badfish22]

As long as the Cowboys lose, I'll be happy.

What happens if the Cowboys win, will you go into a deep depression and never post again?
Just wondering.

Hey Amare, how do you feel about the Saints D if they make it to the NFCG? It just doesn't look to be a SB type defense to me, especially against run-first teams like Dallas and MN

[symple19]

That's a great 3rd down play call. Really shows the have confidence in Bush

Their D is not that good...Brees gotta put lots of points up and hopefully the D can get some turnovers...feed off the crowd. I like the Cowboys as well so if they match up it's a win-win for me.

It's not like it looked all that tough for Rodgers against them though.

[Warlord23]

This is the problem with AZ's Jekyll and Hyde style. If the good Cardinals show up, they can take it to anyone, but if that doesn't happen they look like they don't belong on the field

[djohn2oo8]

He blindsided a QB who's almost 40 years old rather than block someone who's actually capable of making a tackle, what a savvy play.

[symple19]

It was a clean play. He was in the vicinity of the runner.

Kurt ain't no McCry though, he's back in there. Glad he's not hurt

I never said it wasn't clean, my point is it isn't anything special.

[symple19]

this is football, not patty-cake.

If that was D-ware cleaning out Favre on an int return you'd be jumping for joy

[symple19]

I never said it wasn't clean, my point is it isn't anything special.

gotcha. I just love seeing big hits, and that certainly qualifies

[badfish22]

That block was a little over the top for a QB who really didn't have a shot at the tackle. Also the guy on the sidelined who jizzed himself after the hit is a douchebag as well.

[Amarelooms]

Saints gotta game-manage a little...can't afford for Brees to take a cheap shot and be hurt :elephant

[symple19]

isn't Brunell the backup? That would be disastrous.

[Amarelooms]

More running now and less passing...run the clock :elephant

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

IMO the biggest factor in this game is AZ being on a short week with NO being fresh. They are just getting owned at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and it's got a lot to do with one team being in a 4 hour game 6 days ago. It's no excuse, this what happens when you lose to teams like SF, carolina and Tennessee so you blow a chance at a bye week.

[badfish22]

The Cards getting their revenge on a bit with that hit.

Brunell is absolute garbage.

[Amarelooms]

No, they shouldn't. The hit was clean, QB's are told not to try and make a tackle in that situation. The Cardinals deserve to lose and lose big, plain and fuckin simple.

All I ask of New Orleans is to fuckin leinart up if he comes in the game and not let him look good.

[himat]

Thats game.

I'm not sure why so many thought zona might win this game, pfft. Bush looks like an animal.

Yeah he's actually running people over. He's always been fast, but he has been an average running back in the NFL because he goes down on first contact.

Looks like he is adding that second element.

Even if Cards score the Saints are more than double their score. The Cards can't stop anyone with this depleted secondary anyways.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Since Leinart is his backup then sure. This game is anything but his fault.

I criticized Arizona's secondary, and you acted all bitchy about how they have a bunch of pro bowlers in the secondary and that I didn't know what I was talking about..

I probably exaggerated out of anger, but you still laughed at me for criticizing the Cardinals' secondary..

Hell no...fuck Farve's old ass. Though I wouldn't mind seeing him get beat down in the Superdome :elephant

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

And the offensive line. Warner has had no time in the pocket.

People are gonna blame the secondary when IMO the secondary has sucked but the front 7 has been just as bad stopping the run and applying pressure. The secondary is gonna get jerked around with play action and flea flickers when they need to come up and help on every running play.

[holcs50]

I agree with DoK, the short week and a hungry-well rested Saints team made this a blowout. I think the saints would have won either way but it would've been much more competitive. Cards with more rest would've put a lot more up on the board but the D which was bad to start with looked just completely JV. I mean you know when your watching and before Brees even gets the hike that it's going to be a big completion-like playing catch.

I would like to see the Cowgirls play the Saints, I think they're rolling also and the D can give brees a whole set of problems. Would definitely be a good game imo. Ultimately now tho Ill root for the Saints to go to the Super Bowl
