Good to see both sides of the Cards turned up today!

With no offence meant by the omission of special teams who scored today...

One thing I have noticed with Cards performances is that if the O plays well, the D stays at home and vice versa.

Today it seemed like everything was firing on all cylinders.

Was it down to better preparation on the coaching staff's part ?
Taking the team out early to get acclimatised to the early start must have been a factor.

Yes, the defense seems much less aggressive when we have a lead. Not much killer instinct.

They got too relaxed with a big lead, but other then that, the Defense was stellar for the 2nd week in a row.

They may have been tired from the heat, I don't know, but the concentration definitely lapsed late in the game. It's a problem, but one I think is correctable. I'm encouraged by most of what I saw today out of the Cardinals.
