The Arizona Cardinals had the strongest finish in the NFC last season. While the team barely made the playoffs, this didn’t matter much once the post season had arrived.
Once the playoffs started the Cardinals were an entirely different team – they certainly proved that an NFL team does not have to play well at the end of the regular season to do well in the playoffs.
The front office for the Cardinals has loaded the team with Pro Bowl players and potential Pro Bowl players such as WR Larry Fitzgerald, WR Anquan Boldin, RB Tim Hightower, and WR Steve Breaston. WR Larry Fitzgerald might be the best WR in the NFL today and has seemingly has unparalleled leaping ability.
The 09′ Cardinals haven’t looked like the team that made the miraculous run at the end of the 08′ season thus far. Is there such thing as the “Super Bowl Hangover”? Many people believe so. The Cardinals have a very talented offense with WR Larry Fitzgerald, WR Anquan Boldin, WR Steve Breaston, and RB Tim Hightower – therefore, one would assume their potent offense will explode and score in bunches quickly.
The Cardinals are not yet what they were at the end of the 08′ season, not by far. This doesn’t mean they can’t capture lightening in a bottle again. Kurt Warner is the savoy veteran who can change his game around quickly – how could you not with the talent at WR position the Cardinals have.
The Cardinals are still in a very winnable division – with the only other contender being the San Francisco 49ers lead by head coach and Mr. “I Want Winners” Mike Singletary.
The Cardinals did exactly what they needed to do in week 2. They won, and they won big. If they can keep this level of play up, they should have a successful season.
