People still underestimate the Cardinals, even after being 6-1. They won't get bounced in the first round, and they won't miss the playoffs.
Teams that lose early in the playoffs play scared; the Cardinals under Arians/Bowles never play scared and they never play not to lose, the Iggles did when they were at 4th and 1 on the 2 with < 2 mins left in the game.
As for other teams:
* It's about time PIT starts throwing the ball in the air more
* How people think IND is a SB contender is beyond me. Their D can't hold when it needs to.
* DEN is the only clear cut favorite to win the SB, but if they lose Demarcus Ware or Von Miller, they will be where the top tier teams are.
* Geno is a bust. The man cannot read a defense.
* TB might be the worst team in the league.. worse than OAK.
* GB reminds me of the 49ers with Steve Young. When Steve was gone, the 49ers got horrible in a hurry. Rodgers is so stinkin' good he hides a lot of mistakes on that team.
* Jay Cutler is paid like a superstar, but I don't think he'll win you a big game anytime soon.
* If you really want to pick a team that will go out in the first round, look at Cincy... or KC.. or CLE.
* Chip might be some offensive guru, but ironically, he plays to not lose rather to win. 4th and 1 at the opponent's 2 with < 2 mins left in the game? It was evident the Cards were getting gassed on that drive as Shady was ripping off 5-8 yard runs. Maybe he should take some tutoring from Arians, who will teach him how to win under the gun..
* Whatever fear teams have of SEA last year is no longer there after that ugliness in CAR yesterday.
