If the Cardinals watched football during their bye weekend, they had to be encouraged about their chances of making the playoffs.
In the NFC West, it appears to be a two-team race between the Cardinals and Seahawks. The Rams are 0-8, and the 49ers appear to be falling apart.
The rest of the NFC is a mess too, so a playoff spot can be had by a team that can put together even a small string of wins.
The Cardinals think they can do that if they can just cut down on the mistakes that have hampered them through the first seven games.
The Cardinals were supposed to be entering the easy part of their schedule, at least based on what teams did last year. But the Bucs, Lions and Browns are better than people anticipated, so the road looks tougher than once anticipated.
The next two games, against Tampa Bay and Detroit, are critical. The Cardinals already have lost to NFC foes in Washington, Carolina and San Francisco and can't afford many more losses.
It sounds like this is also what is echoed in some of the threads I have been reading. I believe the Cards will come through. I have to chill though i am already wishing it was Game Day.
