Last year, the Arizona Cardinals has the worst oline in the NFL. Their qb was sacked a league worst 58 times. They lost so many games. This year, they signed a guard, drafted another plus a really good tackle in the draft. They drafted two good running backs and traded for qb. Results so far, 7-4 and playing. I forgot to mention that they fired their coach too. If only Miami would learn from them. The fact is this is not a bad team at all. Fix the Oline, draft a couple of running backs and we could be pushing NE for division lead. Tell me am I dreaming ?????
 
OG Jonathan Cooper isn't even playing this year. He broke his leg before the season started.

Biggest change for the Cardinals was coaching. I like Arians, dude has a great vision for the offense.
 
I don't think is as much of the offense as Bruce being a good coach and understanding how to close games. Cardinals have played well this year, but they also improved their defense into a top 10 defense. Honeybadger is a stud, Dansby has been great for them, and their d-line is fierce and their defense makes plays. Their offense is still on pace to give up a ton of sacks, and turn the ball over a lot too, but the big difference this year is that the Cardinals have been able to close out games. Something the Colts did last year well under Bruce as well.
 
Didn't they get two entirely new tackles and a big improvement at QB? Might have something to do with it.

the G from NC is out for the year, its more than that, but again FOR THE 100 TIME, THIS DRAFT is OLINE RICH!!!!!!
 
Bruce Arians is a great coach. Todd Bowles is not bad either.
 
I live here in AZ and I get all the Cards games on and its their coach thats made the difference. Aryans is a stud offensive play caller and a lot of my friends that are Colts fans think they should have kept him instead of Pagano.
 
Their QB stinks, they are doing it on the ground and w/ defense. How did it take Arians so long to become a HC? great job last year and this year w/ 2 different teams though they have been beating bad/struggling teams. the 2 good teams on paper were both in big funks when they beat them(Car, Ind) and both at home. Great job by Arians though.

Their past 4 games he has thrown 8 TD's 2 INT's and has an average QBR of 111. Try again...
 
Gimme a break.. Its always an excuse with you. You said their QB stinks, the numbers show otherwise.

I agree with you, I wouldn't say their QB Stinks, but I wouldn't say hes good either. The season is made up of more than 4 games though. He has thrown 8 Tds and 13 INTs the previous 7. I am interested to see how the Cardinals finish their season. I really do hope they make the playoffs, and they are in a pretty good position to be in the race. I think Philly is the big game for them because I don't think they will beat Seattle or San Fran. If I had to make a prediction. I would guess 9-7 which is a huge improvement from what they were last year. What I like about the Cardinals is they win the games they were supposed to win. They beat the Jags, Bucs, Texans, and Falcons. The Dolphins seem to win the games we aren't supposed to win, lose the games we are supposed to win, then figure out a way to to lose the games we are blowing teams out in.
 
O-line better yes. But did you see Ryan Lindley and the other qb's they had last year?

The Only one they had that wasn't completely terrible was Kevin Kolb and I believe they started 4-0 with him last year. They needed a better qb, and a HC that would not let his team quit.

If your lesson from Ariz is get a better o-line then yes we should learn lol but I don't want to fire Philbin etc
