All I know is this game scares me....between the ridiculous heat down there and the Pat Tillman day factor this should be a hard fought game for the most part but I still think we win 34-17. Brady should have no problem finding plenty of time against a weak front seven and be able to pick them apart all day. Then mix it up with Dillon, but not to much because we don't really have a back up right now. Our defense shouldn't have too many lapses but if they do let it be TD's to Larry fitzgerald since I have him in my $150 league.
This is the scariest game the Pats play all year. It's not a conference or division game, it's all the way across the country, it's against a team that New England has already overlooked, and Arizona is much tougher at home. Not to mention, they never play so New England can't even super gameplan. I bet it's close and Arizona covers the 8 points.
I would say this could be a huge threat to the patriots. If emmitt shreds thier run defense(wilfork sucks vs run) they may start to see a lot of big backs carrying it up the middle
wow despite all the advantages the Cardinals have i still think that the Pats will dominate this game. i mean if they have Boldin maybe i'd think differently but they dont. Plus their QB is McCown, if Peyton Manning cant beat them (despite leading the O to a very good game) i dont think McCown can. And also Manning had James to run it. McCown has emmit smith. Hes old and slow and wont rip up the defense of the Pats. Also Brady and Dillion can rip up Arizona's defense. Pats will win this game pretty easily

I just think them being amped up will allow them to hang tough for at least the first half then our offense should be able to take over.
I certainly wasn't worried about the Cards. Graham is becoming a stud before our eyes. The defense was better, but it was Arizona. Branch was injured on a fluke play at the end of the 1st half. Hopefully it?s not too serious. Dillon was great. I was extremely worried when he was slow to get up late in the 2nd half. But unlike Branch, he was able to return. The Dolphins & Bills look pathetic. The Jets have seen a revitalized Martin carry them to a 2-0 start. We?ll see how long his knees hold up. Anyway the streak continues...go Pats!
Did Bethel catch a ball, i know the new rules favor him, what is he at 5 yards now, watch out record books.
Wait a second here, did Bearsfan really have something bad to say about a former UM player. You usually make it sound like every guy who comes out of there is a star. And come on now, thoughts of Emmitt shredding our run defense is a complete joke, I wish I saw that before the game.
I did not say emmitt would shred your defense, i said if he did you would have something to worry about. Wilfork was always weak vs run at miami see any game they played last two years and the yards they gave up vs run. I can occasionally be objective(rarerly) when it comes to bears and canes.

No it wasn't a blow out...because of some mental errors on offfense but if you watched the whole game they never really had a chance...our defense was getting so much pressure and the cardinals just had no answer. A couple of bad penalties on Offense and some turnovers kept that game close because other than that we were running all over them. The first 6 points for the cards were on turnovers by the offense or else the cards never would have smelt our side of the field in the first half. But thats what our D should do against the cards....So hopefully Branch can get healthy and we can have our full compliment of receivers going in Buffalo week 4.

Bethal has been held back by Pattens return if you want to get into it...Patten has played very well so far and is a veteran with better route running skills...bethal will contribute and in a big way at some point but I have never and won't say that he is going to dominate. So please keep what I say in context...Thanks!
Finally an on subject response, you said with the new rules you cant wait to see the DB's try and run with bethel and the other 4.3 guys, seems like they are keeping up.
Honestly he hasn't been on the field enough to do anything...Patten has been on the field and our two TE set has basicly taken alot of time from the 3rd receiver as well...but you keep focusing on the guy not playing and not our "SCRUBS", as you labled both Givens and Branch, that have put up some good numbers out of the gate. By the way whats up with the Bucs stuff? I wasn't around for a week and now your hating on the bucs.
