The Cardinals may not have the best QB(McNabb) or HB(Beanie Wells), but with the group of WR's they have, all other positions are that much better. We have to guard not only Larry Fitzgerald but also Victor Cruz and James Jones. Then, on defense, they may not have as much talent but Patrick Peterson is already one of the best CB's in the league. Combine him with Kerry Rhodes and Adrian Wilson and you have a potent pass defense.

We were a much better team but we also had alot of luck on our side. The Cardinals made a very bad decision. They gambled that if you crowd the box with us, that you would take Amendola, Heap and Salim out of the equation and effectively stop our offense. They were very wrong. By pushing up the safeties and crowding the box, they gave Wynne and Greene every chance to speed down the field. Not only that, but after we began big play after big play, the defense also began losing confidence in the system which allowed Salim Johnson to take up so yards. This match was very much one that was fought in the air though. Our defense bent, but it didn't break as we picked McNabb off 5 times. I doubt we'll have another match this easy but I expect our 1st round WR's to take confidence from this performance and to continue it.

At QB, Schaub has proven to be a great starter in the league and I don't see him throwing 5 picks. AT RB, TRent Richardson is among the best in the league and we will need to concentrate on him because of their low quality at WR. Overall, even though they have a strong O-Line, I'm most worried about their defense. With Luis Castillo combined with Ahtyba Rubin and Phil Taylor, they have a powerful defensive line that will rip anyone apart given the chance. Then add to that a good linebacker unit led by D'Qwell Jackson and than Joe Haden, one of the best CB's in the league, in the secondary and you're going to have trouble.

This season honestly just keeps getting better, our team contincues to impress. I knew, before the season started, that we were going to suprise some people but i never imagined it would be to this extent. Amendola continued with another amazing performance and is putting to sleep any doubts there are on him. Salim Johnson is showing himself to already be an elite RB even tough he's just completed his 4th game and the WR trio of Amendola, Greene and Wynne have racked up over 900 yards between them so far.
