We just played an exhausting game into OT and now have to travel east along with the game being flexed to a 1:00 pm start. This is not the same Panthers team we've faced the last 2 years and we have a much better chance at stealing this one from them if we can maintain our play on D and our O line can protect Palmer better. This will be a huge win going into our bye week.

Yes. I feel like the rest of the season will go like this, but I'm very optimistic haha.
Carolina- Win
Minnesota- Win
Atlanta- ehh...Win
Seattle- Lose...although we MIGHT have a chance

I think the cards should be in good shape going to Carolina. Although WR is getting thin, the panthers secondary is a mess. Keep the defensive front of Carson and they should be fine

Their eastern time zone woes are well documented though....hopefully they can pull a full game out of their rears this week. If they're not they should practice at the early start time this whole week.

Carolina isn't in the best shape. They've fallen off the face of the Earth after losing the Super Bowl. Their offense has been slightly more efficient than Arizona but the Cards have the drop on the defense. The tie was ugly but a simple FG execution could have lead to a win. A tough game against a tough division foe.

Sunday will be great opportunity for Arizona to get back on track and stay there and resolve some bad blood for the NFC Championship loss.

These are the games that worry me the most. On paper we should destroy them especially the way our D is playing and Carolinas offense has been pretty much anemic to this point. But they're coming off a bye week after a close loss to the Saints and they're well rested. Our receivers are banged up,both Browns are out,Floyd has butter fingers this year and Palmer is not as accurate as last year. We're relying on Fitz and DJ right now. After 5 quarters against Seattle our D was spent and now an east coast game which is flexed from a 4pm start now to a 1pm start. This game has me more nervous than the Seattle game. A win here and we can rest going into our bye week and come back and crush the 9ers at home!

The Cards have a tough road ahead...nearly improbable. They played well against Seattle, but they are going to need to play like that from this point on. Can Palmer and the defense be as consistent going forward? We'll see.

I keep seeing bird gang stuff all over the place. Bird gang is a pretty weak gang name. That's all I gotta add.

Lots of talk about the defense, but let's be honest, had the defense done it's job, Cantanzaro would never had to attempt the kick he missed. The D allowed back to back scoring drives in OT. The D seems to fail when it is needed most on this squad.
