Both were active last week I think.

2011 Arizona Cardinals Football Schedule

This was the Cardinals' schedule last year. They really didn't beat anyone "good". The eagles were bad last year, Dallas self-destructed. They only beat the 49ers at home (division games are always tough).

They lost to Ravens, Steelers, Bengals, Giants, Redskins and Vikings. I'm not saying we should be overconfident, but I was more nervous for our previous game than this one. Season opener against an nfc WEST opponent playing at 1pm (which is 10am PT), and riding on the crowd's emotional support of Troy Brown's induction.

Bring on the Cardinals.

Pats should win in a blowout. I'm looking to see if any of the three CBs can stand out and assert himself. So far, I see us having 3 good, shaky CBs but not one great one.

Heh that's an interesting way of putting it. Good yet shaky? I don't think none of them have proven themselves to be above average right now. 2010 McCourty was in good category though.

Spoken like a true game day chicken little. 8-2 in their last 10 is a record that is not given out to one of the weakest teams in the league. In fact the only team with a better record is the 9-1 Pats.

Its so like you guys to create such high expectations, so that when the least little thing goes wrong you can panic like a nun with a late period.

From what i have read ..cardinals D is very good and they are very pittsburgh like. They wont play the standard D the titans played and will throw a lot of looks and pressures. Its going to be a challenge and wont be surprised if this is a close game

If they don't win by 20+, something went wrong. Pressure on Kolb should lead to gift INTs.

Ben Vereen - IMDb

Ben's nagging injuries have kept him off the 46 and are preventing him from dancing with the stars

Bring on the Cardinals.

In fairness, who exactly did the Patriots beat last year?
