Rivers and Manning will put up points on us, and I'm not sure about Bridgewater yet. Carson Palemer is decent if he can stay healthy. Our team is very beatable.

That said Arizona looks to be a big challenge this year, they are the most balanced team and have a great defense and a re-surgent Palmer playing lights out. They might be the toughest team to play still on our schedule.

As long as Palmer stays healthy I see them and the Patriots as the number 1 & 2 right now, but in no particular order. I think we're #3 barring a collapse tonight. Also, I have absolutely no doubt that the Vikings are the real deal. It's just taking them a while to get started here, but they will be a threat all season and I am very much looking forward to the rivalry.

If they were in a big market I think the media would be going nuts over them and how impressive they've been. They just some how seem to get the most out of what they have.

Of course they only have 3 CBs, but they have a couple of S/CB tweeners, which are very good in coverage like a CB would be. That might be a weakness if they face a team with very good depth at WR.


Edit: But the more I look into it, it needs to be noted that the only teams the Cards have had to go up against so far have been the Saints, Bears and 49ers.... and the Saints and Bears are winless, and the 49ers are almost winless (one win against the Vikings who didn't look like they knew the regular season had started week 1) and the Cards have the 49ers number.

Still, they've been putting up a heck of a lot of points. 48 on Chicago, 31 on New Orleans, 47 on San Fransisco... And that's for a team that was mainly known for their stingy defense last year and has looked pretty good so far.

Palmer went 6-0 with that team last year. If he didn't get injured, they'd have been a very hard team to beat in the play-offs and might've just taken homefield advantage. To me, they look just as strong this year.

But both comparisons (Mathieu/Bush and steak/turds) are ridiculous... especially if Mathieu and Johnson are the starting safeties.

I'm not very sure what the Cardinals do... but after reading a couple articles... it sounds like Mathieu and Johnson are the starting safeties in the Cardinals defense and "safety" but "more of a linebacker " Bucannon is their starting ILB (but has the label of safety).

Then when they want a 3rd CB Mathieu drops down to the nickel CB slot position and S Tony Jefferson comes into the game to play Safety. Then in dime Bucannon moves from ILB to the dime/LB role. So it sounds like "safety" Bucannon rarely ever plays true safety.

But the Cardinals might be ahead of the curve in that use a physical "DB" as a coverage ILB like some of us have been suggesting the Packers might want to attempt to do with Hyde and Richardson for years. And even more impressive is the Cards do that and stop the run very well.
