    Are you sold on the Arizona Cardinals?
    I still am not

    I want to be

    I like their defense, home field, etc

    but I just can't buy into their offense enough to carry them through the playoffs

    Are the Cardinals for real?

      A 10 win team last year that was over shadowed by SF and Seattle. 12-2 at home since 2013 .
      Second best point differential in the NFC. Very good head coach. Stanton not much of a drop off from Palmer.
      I think they are legit.

        Probably not gonna make the super bowl, but yes I'm sold on them. They don't make many mistakes, play great defense and get the job done on offense. Kinda reminds me of the Ravens when they had Dilfer

                I would say yes they've been beating every one 9-1 yeah they lost to the broncos at home no shame In that I believe they hung with them for the first half 2 very good wins in the last 3 weeks , when u have a defense like they do u don't have to have that great of an offense

                      Seattle is getting too much respect from Vegas because the public will pound them and continue to do so. Seattle -6.5 is pretty much saying that in Arizona, Seattle would be -3.5... do you agree with that? This Seattle defense is almost below average at this point with their injuries and losses to Free Agency.

                      Arizona getting too little respect is debatable because people just still are not sure, even experts. Their offense leaves a lot to be desired but they do have a lot of weapons and are winning, which is all that matters.

                          Seattle laying 6.5 means they are about 3.5 on a neutral field. Add another 3 for Arizona at home and the game is close to pick in Arizona.

                            Arizona could lose the rest of their games. Their easiest game is home vs KC. @Atlanta is extremely tough. The Cardinals will not win that division and to answer your question: No, they aren't for real.

                                you are correct

                                although the way both teams are playing, even on a neutral field -3.5 to the Seahawks is disrespect to the Cardinals considering injuries, disparity in playmakers and in defense

                                we will find out who is for real on Sunday men

                                  the remaining few weeks will be tough for all the teams in the NFC West

                                  they could all kill eachother off

                                  so many division games

                                      How can you not be? They play a style of football that wins in Jan, not just great this season but we're on a tear 2h of last year as well. This is not some bogus or overrated team at 9-1 that has taken advantage of a soft schedule and not beaten anyone good like KC last year. And oh yeah play in arguably the best div in football. They are not skating thru some weak div like nfc south where everyone stinks. Zona is good enough and has proven they can beat anyone and that defense is nasty.

                                        good points their division is by far the toughest, I just don't see them beating broncos, all others I think they can beat (maybe not paackers)

                                            Sure they do, they're the 2013 version of the Chiefs. Too find out if they are for real started yesterday vs lions which was a solid win but come on, do we even think stafford is legit?

                                            They got @Sea @rams @atlanta @niners, KC and Sea again at home. They are very capable of losing the division still even with a 3 game lead with 6 games to go

                                              Well they are better than last year's Queefs who were frauds no doubt. A good team granted but not 9-1 type good. And everyone was raving bout there great defense last year holding backup qb's on mostly bad teams to around 13 pts a gm. That party ended once the big boys arrived late in season and guys like Peyton, Rivers, Luck were blowing them up for 30+ a gm. Zona more real than KC and their defense is legit and have quite a few nice wins ov past 2 seasons not just Detroit. I actually think KC is playing better this year than last but will flop and be a pretender come Jan like always for decades going back. Zona has a legit chance I think even with Stanton!
