So, are the Cardinals really a threat with Drew Stanton at quarterback?

I say no.

Yes, they're playing Seattle. However, the Seahawks haven't looked incredible on defense this year. Yes, they played another good defense last week against the Lions. But outside of two big plays, Stanton didn't look that great in that game either.

Arizona may be too far ahead in the division to lose it now, but can they win playoff games with this offense?

They have a great defense, but I don't think anyone is taking them too seriously.

They'll win a game in the playoffs and then be done IMO

Watching them today for the first time this season. Their defense is sick, I just wonder where all their points are going to come from week in and week out

Their defense is really good. Probably the best in the league.

However, they have done absolutely nothing on offense. They can't sustain drives against good defenses. Will they be able to do enough offensively to win games against good teams?

I'm not sure.

AZ is 29th in the league in passing D. They live off the TO.

A GB is more than primed to knock them out, but it won't be easy.

The way it's setting up, it's looking more and more likely that they could see New Orleans in the Divisional playoff round.

Would be interesting to see what Brees could do against them.

1) Arizona
2) Green Bay
3) Philly
4) NOLA
5) Detroit
6) Dallas/San Fran/Seattle

Seems to be how it will shake up. Detroit is struggling the last two weeks, but they should win their next 3.

Hard to believe that Seattle and San Fran both might not make the playoffs.

Been watching from the beginning...

Best game of the day...and of the NFL season (based on the implications)

Surprised it isn't getting any more pub.

(Guess 5 o'clock pm is sleep time on the Eastern/Southern Seaboard)

The Seahawks HAVE to win. Or else their playoff hopes might be in deep trouble.

Why did they call the timeout now? They have to throw into the end zone now or risk running their kicking team onto the field.

You are right.

This is literally...a fricking playoff game...

And nobody is watching it.

That's why I'm hoping Arizona can win.

Ideally, Seattle and San Fran both don't get into the playoffs.

No. He isn't a good enough at QB and their running game isn't that great.

Their record is a 100% reflection of the defense.

If they can get all of their playoff games at home they are a threat IMO.

I'm so pissed that this game is not on right now in Louisiana. Instead I have to watch the Broncos and dolphins.

I'm interested to see who New Orleans draws in the wildcard round.

Looking like Detroit or Dallas. I think the Saints could beat those teams in the Dome.

I don't think the Saints will be the team to knock off Arizona, though.

So Arizona might be looking at hosting the NFC Championship game. However, they have to hold off Green Bay for the best record. Helps that GB might drop a game to the Pats next week.

Saints can beat just about anybody in the Dome...takes a special team to win.

Pats could do it...but, lucky you NFC.

Yeah, but they've lost their last two there.

Could be three in a row after tomorrow.

However, using the Bill Simmons formula of wins, losses, and games that could have gone either way... The Saints are 3-2-5. And out of those 5 games that could have gone either way, they lost 4 of them. They are better than their record indicates.

I think they are better than record...Qbs, throw picks...it's called offense.

All the Saints fans pissing on Brees...pretty lame.

(However, I don't think this Saints team can win anything on the road.)

So if they hope for SB, better get Home Sweet Dome.
