When we win, and when campbell has ANOTHER great game, I want to come back and I want yall to come back to this thread and holler at me

also, dude in 06' we sucked bad we could only beat ourselves.

Well, you asked when the last time we lost to a garbage team.

So we've got a team coming in this week that's won 7 outta their last 10 regular season games, and has a sick passing attack. Nobody thought New Orleans was garbage coming in last week. Funny, since they've now lost 3 out of their last 4 regular season games and had a worse record than AZ last year. Hmmmmm....

NO gets credibility they don't deserve since Katrina. The media and america has been pulling for them and they keep getting called "probably the best offense in the NFL". They're a sexy pick since that monday night shootout between them and ATL. (one of the best monday night games ever btw...) I picked them to be exposed last week and they were. They scored 24 on us, which is 7 more than I anticipated but they got that stupid punt return for a TD, which puts them in line with my expectations.

AZ has some dynamic recievers and a good solid veteran QB. You will not shut them out. IF they lined up in the same formation and ran the same goddamn play 30 straight times they would still score. They're good, but they don't have a run game to balance themselves out. Especially against our run D. they're not physical enough and Edge ain't exactly truckin and jukin his way to 100yd multi TD performances. Being one dimensional will lead to turnovers against our pass D... Not to mention when they get in the redzone their run game is out the window, unless its a trick play.

Their D doesnt scare me either and they will not get physical enough to stop our rushing attack without cheating up safeties, which they will pay for now that moss has his wheels back underneath him.

The Giants looked awful in their first two games last year, and weren't sound when we played them week 3. They caught fire in the second half of the season. They beat us week 3 because we had a pitiful second half and ran the same play 4 times at the goal line.

Yeah, we have a sound team. But that's not really a good argument for a blowout. We've found plenty of ways to blow games the last few seasons with much of the same "sound" team we have now. One win by 5 points doesn't give me endless confidence. Guy.

a win is a win, check the stats, that should be whats giving you confidence. PLus the fact last year we could have won every game that we lost except 1 and that was the patriots. I think sometimes people OVERLOOK us and forget that we arent a pushover team, and when we are healthy, we are VERY hard to beat, and we are pretty damn healthy. Rogers has been worked back into the lineup and him smoot and springs help us VERY much. You saw waht rocky mac did and washington will be back in right? Jason Taylor is starting to get in his groove and they will have to choose who they want to double team, carter or taylor. The fact is the Cardinals have NOT beat a team with the defense and talent we have, and it will show on sunday when we come out with the win. Thats all im gonna say, GUY.

If you read my first post on this thread, I picked us to win. I just think it's going to be close and I stated pretty clearly why I think so.

I agree, 100% Our defense will be able to keep them one dimensional and that will play to our advantage. Kurt warner is going to be experiencing major pressure in which he has not had to face yet. That will cause mistakes, which wil lcause turnovers, which hopefully we can get points off of. Portis will have his first 100+ games and 1 TD and hopefully we do not turn hte ball over, but you never know. I just feel like our team comes to play and everyone is still playing with S.Taylor in their hearts. Rookies are stepping up and helping us win and thats huge, thats exactly how the giants won last year.. hopefully we can follow that

IM not convinced they are good by beating the 49ers and the miami dolphins, give me a break.. And you saw the 49ers beat seattle?? are you serious??? MAtt Hassellbeck is injured and they have NO WEAPONS! so, end that talk, the seattle seahawks are not the same team we have faced in the past, if they were even half that team, the 49ers wouldnt have won. PLUs we are at home, and we are coming off a hot game.. They have a veryyy easy schedule, and im sorry but im not affraid of the cards.. We are a sound team guy, we have all our players we have had from last year and every team in the nfl has a bad game, hat was ours.. You are telling me the gians last year werent sound?? they were 0-2 and played us and beat us and we were 2-0.. your theory means nothing but good try mr.football

lol

oh yeah, i wanted to remind you that the lions have 2 of the gmaes best WR's too, but we stomped the dogpiss out of them last year, and we also beat the cardinals, and until late, we were winning by alot.. joe gibbs started with the vanilla play calling and trying to just hold on to the win instead of trying to keep scoring.. we arent gonna make that same mistake guy, trust me.

Momentum is a dish best served hot and right out of the gate. The fact that the Cards played the 9ers and 'Phins only help them in regards to facing the Skins...and the 9ers beating the Seahawks in Seattle, no matter who's on the field, goes a long way. And a bulging disk, while painful, isn't much of an injury. He will line up under center on Sunday, and that by any means does not make up for their failure.

And as you point out, the Skins are coming off a hot game (pardon the pun)...the Cards are coming off 2 hot games, where they scored 30+ to their opponents 11.5. Again, momentum...do not be overconfident. The past does not represent fact for the present. It may help, but doesn't not 100% represent fact.

The Giants were carried down the stretch and into the Super Bowl on the backs of Michael Strahan, Justin Tuck, and the rest of the defense. The icing on the cake was that Manning got hot in the playoffs. They weren't sound when the Skins lost to them in Week 3 and were running cold in Week 15 when the Skins beat them. It was the 6 game winning streak starting with Week 3 that allowed them to limp into the playoffs at 10-6 and play lights out at the right time.

The difference between the Cards WRs and the Lions WRs (besides the QB throwing to them) is experience. That will trump the youthfulness that Johnson and Williams have.

yeah man it's cool, im just giving you my opinion on why I think other teams should watch out for us, especially if we continue to play like we did last week, and I think we will. It was the perfect time to start gelling and I think Campbells confidence will reflect in our offense this sunday. Warner is getting some age on him and we will see how he reacts after taking some shots. We will continue to be ball-hawks and our defense will swarm. Our guys are playing more natural and playing off instincts instead of trying to trick, and that has put us in places to make plays.

Damn...I wasted my time on my response, when GMScud did it for me...

BD, do you not understand?? they beat two teams that had a combined record of what?? 6 wins and 26 losses? when they start beating some good teams, then we can start talking about how good the cardinals are, until then, you are everything you are saying pretty much on the fact they beat horrible san fran and the even worse miami dolphins... They have played NO ONE, and we have beat them the last 6 times we have played them , AND we are playing at OUR house. THe Cardinals would lose to the Saints, and they are gonna lose to us.

[4thGenRedskin21]

besides, it doesnt matter if you have the best defense in the league, if you cant score points, you arent gonna win, and thats why the seahawks got beat.

If offense didnt matter, the raiders would have won more games than they have the past 3 years. in fact, didnt the raiders have a top 5 or 10 defense the past 2 years? I know they had a great defense

Again, overall they've won 7 of their last 10 regular season games including the last 4 in a row, and their offense is clicking on all cylinders. So what if the 9ers and Phins aren't good? Arizona took full advantage of that fact and they have great rhythm going right now. They did what a good team should do to bad teams- spanked them.

I agree with BD - Arizona playing well and scoring in bunches against bad teams is actually worse for us this weekend than if they had been struggling against good teams. Their offense has great tempo and could give us some problems.

[4thGenRedskin21]

oh lord, whatever guys.. when sunday comes, and we stomp the cards, you will know what I was talking about. Zorn isnt going to let campbell slip back down, he is going to make campbell build off that win and then they have Cooley,portis,betts,moss,randle El, and Rock on returning balls to deal with. We have to deal with their passing offense, thats it, thats all we have to worry about.. So when we shut down their passing game, what are they gonna do?

they havent faced a defense like ours yet, and we actually have an offense that can score points. The cardinals are going to be throwing alot, and thats not news to anyone! Our defense will turn them 1-demensional and they will struggle on the ground. I dont see edge rushing for more than 50 yards against our run-D. Jason Taylor or Andre Carter will have a big game, depending on who they double team. LaRon will also have a big game and our secondary is finally healthy.

[4thGenRedskin21]

Portis will have his first 100+ game and he will have 1-2 Td's again(hopefully 3, cus hes on my fantasy team as well)
