Touchdown! Arizona Cardinals to play 100th game at University of Phoenix Stadium

That was the pure emotion of, ‘You know what? Those days are behind us as Kaepernick is now the backup quarterback for a 49ers team that sits at 3-6, one win behind Wilson’s Seahawks who are 4-5. “At the end of the day, it comes down to us just scoring more touchdowns and finding a way to do that”. “He understands his players and understands how to coach”.

Peter King of The Monday Morning QB followed the Arizona Cardinals around in the week leading up to their Week 8 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. The Bengals had previously drafted Dalton, who since has become their starter and is 8-1 this season. “There might be a letdown today, but there won’t be any for Sunday”. Player(w/smile): “You mean the year he quit on us?”

The Seahawks’ isolation game plan wasn’t completely shut out against the Cardinals, however. He has 836 yards, only 18 fewer than his high in 2009. Arizona is 20-4 in Palmer’s last 24 starts, and the offense is ranked No. 1 in the NFL. I want to believe that the Cardinals learned from their first game together but since this is a road game I’m reluctant to give the Cardinals the W. “I’m not going to bore you with that”. Sometimes you have to wait until he’s done cussing out officials.

Not only is Tyler Eifert a good football player, but he’s a large human being.

Another look at the injury report for the week.

Catanzaro sent the game into halftime with a 43 yard field that winded from left to right and then finally through the uprights. He missed practice time this week. Graham’s on pace for 73 catches for 843 yards and four scores, which would all be the worst numbers since his rookie season.

Defensive end Michael Johnson has missed practice all week, too, as he is suffering from a back injury. He was limited though on Wednesday, so it will be interesting to see if he gets a full or limited session in on Thursday. Golden is one of the team’s best pass rushers. Seattle Seahawks still have to play the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Minnesota Vikings, the St. Louis Rams, and the Arizona Cardinals over the next seven contests.

-C Lyle Sendlein (shoulder) is missing practice time for the second consecutive week. He played last week against Seattle.

Defensive backs must make the most of 50-50 opportunities, since the Bengals won’t turn the ball over much otherwise. The Bengals offensive line is excellent. The aforementioned Carson Palmer has been a Pro Bowl-caliber passer this year and has been lighting up the scoreboard in recent weeks, posting a 9 to 2 TD:INT ratio over his past three games.

Former Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner tweeted on Friday that he suffered a broken jaw in two places while playing basketball with a few friends. Right is the side the tight end will line up on, assuming the ball is spotted in the middle of the field or the right hash. If Cooper can not, it seems that Ted Larsen would get the nod at right guard.

It’s also telling that with Dalton under center the Bengals haven’t lost back-to-back games since 2013, and both of those games went to overtime and were decided by two and three points.

– Profootballfocus.com said of their grades, only three cornerbacks do not have a game with a negative number this season: Carolina’s Josh Norman, and the Cardinals’ Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu.

These are two of the best young players at their positions. People like Gary Barnidge, Delanie Walker and Benjamin Watson are enjoying better seasons.
