People on here responding to the OP by saying "let's focus on Oakland & not get ahead of ourselves" are absolutely hysterical. This is a messageboard. We are fans. Not players. Not coaches. Not even ball boys.
If a poster wants to discuss what they think will happen in a few weeks, they are more than welcome to. If you only want to focus on talking about the Oakland game, great, that's your prerogative, too: but don't be a seagull and fly by someone else's thread, crap all over it, and take off.
As to the OP's point, the Arizona game won't be easy with the injuries on defense. Those who say the Card will have "shut down with nothing to play for" are kidding themselves. We're not talking about the Colts or Steelers here; this Cards team hasn't made the playoffs since forever and I highly doubt they will go into cruise control starting Week 16. In fact, depending on how things unfold, they could be still be playing for the #3 or #4 seed, which is well worth the effort.
I personally feel the NEP will pull it out, but it will all be on the arm of Cassel, as the D will be letting up 30+ easy in that game.
