| Arkaign said: I know quality wins when I see them, and I've yet to see the Cards put one up this year. They've won, yes, but a crapton of their wins were late lucky breaks against either banged up or downright terrible teams. I think they get exposed just like the Eagles got shown today what happens vs. a really good healthy team with their remaining schedule and into the playoffs. I would rate them as above average, but the record they deserve right now is certainly nowhere near 9-1. GB would have destroyed them today if they both played at the same level of effort and skill. One does not simply throw two INTs and expect the opposing team to be so completely worthless that they will drop on-target passes repeatedly, screw up the snaps, mis-read the line, get stupid penalties, etc. They played so badly today they would have easily lost to any decent team. Of course, that tells us also that Detroit is EVEN WORSE, lol. |
Woulda, coulda, shoulda. They won, and that's what matters.
I do find the statement about quality wins a little interesting considering how high you are on Green Bay, though. Green Bay's best victory this season is at Miami, and the only other team with a winning record that they've beaten is the Eagles (without Foles). By comparison, the Cards have beaten the Eagles (with Foles), the Cowboys (admittedly without Romo), the Lions, the Chargers, and the 49ers.
In addition to that, the Cardinals have beaten 3 of those teams without Palmer, and they're only going to get better as Stanton gets adjusted to his role. Would the Packers have beaten the Cards today with similar play? Possibly...but by the same token, the Cardinals would have likely had their way with the Packers on one of Green Bay's worse days as well.
