Arizona Cardinals 3-0 - The End is Near

It's been a awhile since I read through Revelations in the bible but i'm pretty sure the Cardinals going 3-0 is one of the signs of the Apocalypse, I planning on staying inside next weekend because if my calculations are correct a 3rd of the stars will be falling from the sky.

Two weekends ago against the Patriots were all but dominated the whole game, Patriots held to 6 points the first half. The game was close because of the surge by the Pats in the 4th. Here's the thing though, it's not really uncommon for Arizona to start out hot and fizzle towards the end, our last 11 games, prior to the prison style rape fest the Cardinals put on the Eagles, were all decided by a single goal, many of those being field goals.

Which is why at the start of the 4th I told my son, now watch as we completely screw up this ginormous lead, he laughed... 2 minutes left in the game and I'm sitting there with the "told you so" look on my face. I'm an Arizona native so if there's one thing most Arizonans know is that if there's a way to fuk up a good lead the Cardinals will find it, and find it they did.

Ironically I let my guard down for a moment as we had the ball late in the 4th and really needed to just run out the clock. I say to myself, "surely even the Cards cant screw this one up..." FUMBLE.

Honestly I had to laugh, I should have known better. Fast forward a couple plays and
it's 20-18 Pats are in field goal range, their kicker is 4-0 on the day and he needs to just chip one in. "Just as I suspected."
OMG wtf. LOL.

That's pretty much the though process I went through as I saw the ball scream to the right.
Wow, the Cardinals lucked out.

Week 3.
"The Eagles, Mike Vick. 2-1, still not a bad start", that's what I tell myself. Then the Cards proceed to manhandle the Eagles. I'm not talking, slight edge/competitive man handle, I'm talking highschool jv squad vs seasoned NFL team. It was horrible.

Here's the thing though, the beat down on the Eagles was just that, a beat down. What's not reflected in the "beat down" on the Pats is the fact that really the Cards dominated most of that game as well. So really the Cards have shown they can dominate powerhouse types teams.

So I'm not quite on the bandwagon, but let's just say I'm cautiously optimistic that there may or may not be a potential statistical chance that the cards may make a move this year in post season (imagine that we're talking post season after 3 weeks).

The only thing that can stop the Cards not is Kolb's big toe...
