The Philadelphia Eagles did their part in giving the Cardinals a shot to still host another playoff game by defeating the Minnesota Vikings 26-14 on Sunday in Minneapolis.  What the win meant most importantly right now is that it means the Cardinals are off to play the Carolina Panthers next Saturday night in Charlotte.  The […]

FLYING HIGH

They said this was the easiest pick of the four Wild Card games to make, Atlanta would defeat the Cardinals.  They said the Cardinals couldn’t run the ball.  They said the Cardinals defense wouldn’t stand up to the running game of Michael Turner.  They said that Matt Ryan would be the more poised […]

Please be safe, be happy, and enjoy […]

Amazing how the injured heal quicker when your team is in the midst of an end of the season swoon.
Anquan Boldin, who we were told would most likely sit the last two games in order to rest his injury up for the playoffs, is now a likely candidate to take the field on Sunday in […]

(Scott Allen writes for Raising Zona, which is FSB’s Arizona Cardinals blog. Representing the rest of the NFC West are 12th Man Rising, Niner Noise. and Ramblin’ Fan.)
If you didn’t know any better, you’d think that Seattle was the team continuing their winning ways and heading to the NFC playoffs again.  After this weeks games, […]

When this game appeared on the schedule when it came out this past April, this was the one game I marked as an “automatic” loss for the Cardinals.  In fact, I had so much confidence in the Cardinals ability to not only not win on the road, but in New England of all places, I […]
