Excerpt:

The Cardinals have played the Jaguars just six times in their history, tied for their fewest games against any team.

On a down-to-down basis, the Cardinals have been better than the final scores would suggest in recent weeks. The problem has been game-swinging plays, like turnovers and special teams miscues. If they can avoid those types of issues, they have the pieces in place to pull off a home upset.

  1. How injured are we this week? I feel like the team is good enough to upset anyone when healthy, as we’re actually a legitimately good team devastated by injuries. If we’re as banged up as we were last week though… much more of a long shot.

    I’ve said it many times over the years but I’ll put it out there again, not that anyone in charge of these things is listening, but I still remain convinced the NFL would be much more fun to watch for teams with losing records if the draft position for non-play off teams was determined by their record through the first 10 games rather then the full season. Then maybe best record during the final 7 could determine tie breakers before SoS. Would remove that gross end of season feeling for fans of struggling teams of kind of wanting your team to lose rather then win, to improve their draft position.

    As is though, like it or not, we ARE better off losing this game. Like many fans I’m not going to actively root for a loss, but ideal would ironically probably be another close loss, like we’ve had so many of this years. At least those were more watchable then the last two weeks, though I understand some of you like an excuse to turn off the tv or beat the traffic by leaving early if your at the game, we really have been flat unwatchable since the Dallas game.

  3. Aren’t we statistically outed from even getting into the playoffs? Why not try for a better draft pick?
