You would think all the injuries this year were on defense as bad as they played.

Do you think Arians is going to be back? I heard there were concerns over how coaching was affecting his health, and he's not exactly in great shape.

...and the Cardinals are eliminated from the playoffs. I look forward to Bruce Arians's next conspiracy theory. :lol:

"The Saints always scored when we were on defense. That was odd."

His face colour matched his Cardinals jacket every time they showed him on Redzone. He maybe needs to chill.

The current impression is that BA, Palmer and Fitz will be back next year...and then, maybe all three are gone in 2018.

Interesting.

Love Fitz obviously, but it may be time to move on from Palmer. I know he wasn't necessarily your problem this year, but I don't know that he really helped and man he's getting old.

As an opposing fan with no respect for Arians, Would love it if they bring that excuse machine douche bag back.

It's tough when a SB or bust mentality is there, wears on you all season, esp. with a great offseason. Maybe the pressure was just too much, similar to the "35!" chant of the Broncos a few seasons back. That's got to eventually wear you down over a long season

Makes you appreciate the consistent attitude of Pete and Russ and the trademark-and-maybe-cliche-but-it-works "one game at a time" where rather then mourn the loss or celebrate the win they keep it pretty even keeled and figure out what's next.

Regardless, they will more than likely come up to Seattle and play us tough.

I agree.

BA is saving his best effort for 2016 this weekend.

Preparing for another 5 quarters and tie.

I seriously doubt that and expect the Hawks to actually kick their asses, but at the same time would not be surprised if it is close, but still an AZ loss.

Yep - there should be absolutely no expectations that this will be a truly competitive game - we have like 22 FAs coming up and several of them will be showboating for their next contract instead of performing their role. We also will have several young guys on the field
