Then comes in a cardinal team with their best player Larry Fitzgerald nursing a hamstring and a sitting duck in C. Palmer with no running game and a pretty awful defense we should have blown them out which we did. Now we will be getting into some teams that a pretty good lets just wait and see just how good we think we are after the next 3 games. I think the team is definitely better than last year but I wanna see them play against somebody before I get overly excited. ok now let the ripping commence.
I see your point about the Falcons game, but take into account how many projected starters we lost before the game was even played, plus the players we lost during the game and still won. That either speaks volumes about what kind of team the Falcons actually are, or it says even more about our depth and players that actually can play in this system. On paper, they should have blown us out.
