we have improved since the last time we met them.

And so have the Cardinals. I think it will be a close game all the way through and hope is that the Cardinals pull it out in the end.

Everyone knows how hard it is to beat any NFL team twice in the season. Last time the Cardinals relied on the pass heavily and really only went to the ground during red zone situations. Look for the Cards to keep your defense true which will give our recievers a little more space downfield. The Cardinals defense has stepped it up these last two game and are really finishing tackles unlike 10 weeks ago. They will also force turnovers which should make for an interesting game.

The Cardinals are also extremely motivated and coming into this game with a little bit of momentum. Especially with that 10 pt spread that Vegas has we still feel like we aren't getting any respect. They know that if they win and get some help from Philly over the G-Man they will be headed back to the desert for the NFC Championship Game. It's do or die and they will play that way.

Final Prediction: 27-26 Cards

The Cards have not improved since playing us. They had not 1, not 2, not 3, BUT 4 EMBARRASSING LOSSES To Philly, New England, Giants, & Minnesota at their own house out of all people. Must have forgot about that

I give credit to winning against Falcons. But only difference is actually trying to establish a run

I don't get how that performance doesn't qualify as improvement.

Yeah they played badly when the playoffs were locked up and nothing was really on the line (bad coaching there) but those conditions no longer apply.

Actually something was on the line. They still had a chance of getting a higher seed. You don't mail it in when there is still a chance. You only do that when there is not one.

They couldn't have risen higher than number three, and there's no practical difference between the third and fourth seeds. Both have to play in the wild card round at home. The only difference is who you match up against.

I agree you shouldn't mail it in, but I think you'd have to say they did. To me, that's on the coaches.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
