Open Thread: Cardinals at Saints

PrintI still don't have the stomach to watch this game. And I still expect the Saints to win.
For the Cardinals: WR Anquan Boldin is still likely out, though that did nothing to slow them down last week. This week the Cardinals might go to the run and exploit the Saints' soft run defense. Revenge of the Birds would like to see them run more too in hopes of avoiding another shootout.
For the Saints: They've resigned the Deuce for this game, which isn't a bad move since he's obviously familiar with the offense and RB Mike Bell and RB Pierre Thomas are hurting. Over at Canal Street Chronicles they are hoping the Saints score early (and presumably often) and win the turnover battle.

Figure I'll point out
that Deuce wasn’t brought in to play, at least not this week.
He is an “honorary captain”, and the guy who will lead the charge onto the field. That is all.
Yeah...
Deuce has two bum knees, can’t give it a go any more…he’s had more surgeries on those knees that Heidi Montag has had on her boobs
In a weird way...
I am rooting for the Cardinals. I wanna say that we lost to the eventual super bowl champions twice in 3 years…both losses being overtime losses.
If the cardinals get blown out, it means we probably weren’t going too far anyways.
I don't know about that
If we had played even a LITTLE defense, we could have won that game. Unfortunately the coaching staff thought doing the same thing twice in a row would actually work.
yea i want AZ to win, so that hopefully IF the Vikings do win tomorrow they will have homefield in a rematch next week. & Brett can go on and do what he has to. & Hey, if the Vikings do win the Super Bowl, theyre winning their one and only championship with the best player of their rival team. They need a Packer to contend for a Super Bowl, so if he does win it I have no problem with it.
Now…flame away! I can take it
Favre 4 Ever
I Believe In Chris Drury
RIP Buddy <3 Love you
I dig that!
Hey I still like Brett , the player, not the person (then again, I don’t know any of these guys personally, right?). But in the back of EVERY single Viking fan—EVERY SINGLE ONE— they are thinking “damn, is we win our one and only championship, it will be with the greatest player in GB history at the helm”.
You are right, the punchline is they needed a Packer to win the championship! lol.
Hell Yeah that would taint it for them. They’ll deny it though.
exactly my point. Bretts my boy and always will be so Ill always support him. And if they win they win with a Packer leading them to their 1st and LAST LOMBARDI Trophy. (& PS – Then Fran Tarkenton can shut the F#$K UP about Favre). & Youre right, theyll deny it and say AP & Harvn carried them to a title while Favre only threw for 33 scores & 7 INTs…

Man...
it should be us playing in this game…
The Superdome looks absolutely electric and gosh darn I wish we were in this game.
Damn.
OH MY GOODNESS>..
1 play , 70 yards, and Hightower Highsteps to seven…
Carinals have 58 points the last 60 minutes 19 seconds of football!
Wow...
Mr. Kardashian, I mean mr. bush looks good so far…playing big.
Saints looking strong on offense.
This drive is pretty amazing for a team I thought would be initially flat. As I type, TD SAINTS

Strips...
we needed more of those last week! Nice hurdle by Sharper!
3 personal fouls there...

These refs got the memo.

Shockey...
…might have tweaked something…
If the Packers lost, my default team was the Saints.
I would like to see a Saints v. Colts Superbowl. Colts win.

Beanie Wells fumbles, Warner recovers.
Why couldn’t this have been the Cardinals team to show up last week. :(

Saints are bringing the heat to pressure Warner.
Making Warner get happy feet may be the way to victory.

Saints...
are going to be tough to beat at home…wouldn’t it be interesting if the cowboys and saints had a rematch of the game they had week 14 ?
things are falling apart...
…for the Cardinals…
ZOMG...
Did you see that from REggie Bush? wow 21 – 7
yep...
…time to get the golfing equipment ready…
This game is why...
…I’m not broken up that the Packers lost last week. The Saints are my pick for the SB.
next level...
I don’t think we are at the Saints level yet. Not yet.
If we were playing today
We’d be hearing the name “Bush” on every Saints play. Reggie for the big runs, and Jared for every 70 yard Brees TD throw
Oh, and I loved the "Warner gets hit in the head" non-call
Makes up for last week ever so slightly
IMportant stop
the carindals get the first stop of the game…now they need a time consuming drive…
Beautiful pass...
1st first down since the first play of thegame!
Big penalty...
Cardinals are now inside the Saints 40…big drive if the cardinals are going to have any chance…
TD Cards!
A time consuming drive, gave their defense a good rest…
laughs...
Yeah it just game the Saints time to plan out their attack.
5 drives, 4 touchdowns.
Wow ...and in about 2 minutes...
Saints strike back…28-14
Moral of the story
Don’t piss off the Saints. They will burn you.
Will smith...
Does his best Johnny Jolly interception and intercepts it…
The Saints' Johnny Jolly makes a pick
And Warner looks like he’s done, quite possibly for good.
haha...
well, we’ll call it a draw since they both say 2 48!
And warner is hurt...
disaster at the dome…
Well guys...
I don’t care if it’s Favre or Romo next week, Saints are gonna be awfully hard to beat.
Wow, that hit on Warner takes me back
2000 – 2002 era, Pack at Bucs, Favre throws a pick and gets absolutely leveled trying to make a tackle on the runback and got blown up. Wonder if I can find a clip.
I hope Bush scores...
so we can see Kim again…
especially...
…if she is tearing up again. Yeah, I’m a sadist. lol
And Leinart suits up
Might be 42-14 before the end of the half
Saints are playing prevent
Which in this case might work for them since there is so little time. A field goal means nothing
and..
Sainats get the ball first after halftime
Dude, you don't need a timeout to psych out Rackers
The guy is a friggen nutcase
Great start...
That kicker really is a head case!
blah...
since scoring on the first play, Saints have outscored them 35 to 7…
fork em.
Refs
Glad to see they’re watching out for Brees’s knees (15 yard penalty). No such luck for Rodgers’s head.
Reviewing the comment as I have returned...
I LOL’d

wow...
YOu can’t tackle QBs too high, can’t tackle them too low….
It’s like you have a QB “strike zone”
lol
imagine the announcement “Personal foul, on the defensive, hit outside the QB strike zone, automatic first down.” Yeah it sounds good!
michael adams
just like jarrett bush, doesn’t turn around!
He's awful
I doubt any Cards fan would stick up for Adams. It seemed like Henderson should have had an advantage, making a break on the ball or drawing a flag, but he didn’t do it. The pass looked like it was in the right spot.
Thank god, the Cards are losing
If Minnesota wins, I don’t wanna have to hear that Kurt is 38 and Brett is 40 for the entire game.
Getting Presure on the QB...
…is so damn important. We haven’t had a pure pass rusher since KGB was in his prime
And Rackers gives up on the play
Somehow I bet he’s not a Cardinal next year
Well, the least you can say
Is that the Saints would not have gotten a free preview of our defense the week before
Coverage
I haven’t noticed any PI, but I’m not really watching either. It doesn’t seem like the pass rush is that much better, Warner is getting rid of the ball pretty fast, but the Saints aren’t getting any “coverage” from guys like Brandon Underwood, Jarrett Bush and the linebackers. They aren’t confused by the Cards formations.
if you guys would have won last week
You guys would have had a better chance.
I disagree
The Saints have thrived on long pass plays and special teams. Our weakness? Secondary and Special Teams…
Would the Packers get blown out 14-45?
The Packers’ special teams could have folded like the Cardinals, though the Packers had been better down the stretch. The Packers’ 3 turnovers last week were unusual, they had been leading the league by a mile with a +24 margin during the regular season, and those two Cards turnovers have led to 2 TDs. I don’t think they would have done much (if any) better against the Saints offense, but their offense would have kept up better. It would certainly be closer.
I dunno
The Cards and Packers are a lot more similar than we would’ve thought a couple of weeks ago. Component by component the teams are close to identical. Pick a position or section and you can find an analog. I know we’d like to think we’d done well, but I can’t find much basis for such thoughts.
We were definitely good at capitalizing on mistakes, but the Saints have not made many mistakes today.
Depends if the defense shows up. But the injuries in the secondary don't quite help that.
I like our offense to be honest. It seems like in big games, Rodgers will do everything to claw and scratch his way back into the game. But I don’t think our chances are that good seeing what the Saints have unleashed on the Cards. This team looks deadly scary.

doucett...
big and physical like james jones…but with better hands
well,
cardinals pitch a shutout in the 4th quarter! way to go!
hmm...
If the Saints play like this next week, it doesn’t matter who wins tomorrow.
