They had all the talent to be good. I thought they'd be better but Okeafor was a lot worse than I expected, Berry is getting old and injury prone and the cornerbacks were worse than even I thought they would be. I thought the o-line would be better, now it is but it's too late, it sucked at the beginning of the season. I didn't expect the playoffs, but I didn't expect that we'd get even worse with a team that was more healthy than I ever remember them being before. I do think they are still a disappointment. They brought in Edge for gods sake and he played WORSE THAN ARRINGTON for most of the year. I thought with a better o-line coach and someone who was supposed to be a good run blocker we'd have at least a decent running game and Warner was looking good near the end of last season but he was so bad. I hate this team, the Ravens' bandwagon is very comfy right now. I have almost made my switch. I just hope they get rid of Boldin and Wilson and then the Cards can rot in hell. :thumbdn1: Bill, Bill Jr. and Michael SUCK! :ranting: And what's worse is they are looking good now and it seems that if they just make a couple moves they will be better, but give them Steve Hutchinson, Brian Urlacher, Umenyiora, Deangelo Hall, Antonio Gates and I betcha they'll just finish 9-7 and dissapoint again. Why am I stuck with this team, why did my dad teach me that whole " root fo r hometeam bullsh**" ? I'm almost free, but I'm really not.

Should be intresting
Your defense is not solid. The only stud I see on that defense is Andra Davis. You guys give up the 2nd most yards a game.

Bodden is one of the best CB's in the AFC, and once my boy Baxter comes back next season, yeah our D is pretty solid.Plus Wimbley is a beast.

You win games at the line of scrimmage...thats why teams like the Arizona Cardinals don't win games and thats why they won't win games until they address the problem. You can have all the flash bang in the world (Fitz, Boldin, Edge) but it doesn't mean anything if your runningback cannot find a hole or your QB is being rushed.

It's just a little too late. I blame the coaching staff for not taking Stepanovic out earlier and not moving Reggie Wells to tackle which is his best position. The people on the Cardinals boards were asking for that all season and it just happened a few weeks ago and it has worked. It also helps that Leinart is a lefty and Davis isn't the blind side tackle anymore. The o-line is almost ready. Now if they just get a better center and get some depth on that line it'll be good. Then if they get a DE and a cornerback they will finally win some games. Or just disappoint or just get tons of injuries like always.

I hope so. I loved the team when I was in 4th grade and I was the only one that thought they'd win the finals. I'm trying to slowly shift to them without seeming like too much of a bandwagoner. It's like, the Cardinals and Ravens wagons are side to side. I'm sitting on the very edge of the Cardinals wagon and chatting with the Cards fans while I'm sort of leaning on the Ravens bandwagon and relaxing there. And then when the Cards fans aren't looking I'm going to do the whole, oops I slipped out........... I don't know what I'm talking about. I just don't know why I have to be stuck with him just because my dad taught me to root for the home team when I was cheering for the Oilers in the game he took me to. I'm just trying to slowly move on without feeling bad. The transition would be made a lot easier if the Cards got rid of Boldin and Wilson.
