Congrats on the victory. Looks like the coach saved his job for another week.

B...I'm going to tell you one thing. Stop playing Madden 09 - even if I do lose my job I'll never play that POS ever again. Thanks for the victory - we'll see if I can keep the clipboard next week.

A long time disgruntled Anquan Boldin finally gets his wish

[Matt10]

The Consistent Qbs?: The Arizona Cardinals are ranked second in total offensive yards with 2068. This is a team that can score - and score quickly. Led by the veteran arm of Kurt Warner and the gifted ability of receiver Larry Fitzgerald - the Cardinals are taking the league by storm, suffering their only defeat to the Giants last week. Despite being one of the older quarterbacks in the league, Warner still manages to hold the starting spot over Trent Green and Matt Leinart. On the other side of the pig skin is six-year pro, Matt Schaub. Schaub, since taking over for the now traded rookie Graham Harrell, has been a shinging light for the much needed Texans offense. His consistency and calming in the pocket has shown why he has only thrown 1 interception in 3 games.

The Absence of Boldin: Earlier this week, the Cardinals dealt out their upset employee #2, Anquan Boldin. Boldin, who had only catched 19 balls for 221 yards (and one lone touchdown), shouted to the high heavens, demanding a trade. A trade is what happened and now the Cardinals are without the dual threat receiving core that most teams feared. The Texans are one of the worst, behind the Saints and Jets, defenses against the pass - but are one of the best against the run. The Cardinals will have to keep this in mind - and who knows, there could possibly be a position battle between Steve Breaston and Dennis Northcutt (acquired from Jaguars in Boldin trade) - Breaston has 144-yards on only 9 receptions.

The Score: 42-17 Cardinals. Even without Boldin, I think the Cardinals have the upper hand here with a superb offensive line and a more than explosive offense. Their defense is a young one, led by cornerback Antrell Role - but smart against the pass. While the Texans do have Chris Johnson back from injury (even though he was proclaimed to miss a month) after one game absent, I just do not think this will be a shoot-out like last week against the Chiefs. Schaub might have one of those tough days - feeling the pressure today in the pocket - his comfort zone. If Schaub gets out of the pocket, it could spell trouble for Kubiak and company.

Pregame done by Matt10

Defensive Tackle, Travis Johnson has suffered a case of food poisoning. Sources say the 305 lbs man left the local McDonald's with a month's supply of "McRib" sandwiches.

Travis Johnson on himeslf: "The McRib sandwich only comes every October through December, man. I had to get my share."

Amobi Okoye on Johnson: "Curse of the Johnson's finally going to work in my favor." <-------- Johnson's replacement

@ The McRib. That's good stuff though lol.

Nice dynasty, great presentation. Looks like Fitz is tearing you up. Time to deal one of those RBs for some pass defense.
