The Meltdown

Arizona Cardinals Edition

The Arizona Cardinals defeated the Detroit Lions to improve their record to 9-1.  That has the Birdgang thinking Superbowl.  As it stands right now the road to the Superbowl runs through Phoenix, but not everyone are believers.

Critics of the Arizona Cardinals say that with a back-up quarterback and gimmicky blitz defense the odds are slim ther will be a superbowl champion from the desert.

While fans debate the Arizona Cardinals chances in the NFC another key member of the offense undergoes and MRI on his knee.

All of these links and more on the Arizona Cardinal edition of the Meltdown.

From MLive.com: Drew Stanton Had The Best Week Of His Life

"The career backup was forced into action last Sunday, when starter Carson Palmer went down with a torn ACL. Trailing the St. Louis Rams in the fourth quarter, Stanton needed just three plays to find rookie John Brown with a 48-yard touchdown pass to put the Cardinals on top for good. On Monday night, Stanton and his wife Kristin welcomed their second child into the world."

    • From AZCentral: Larry Fitzgerald’s Knee Just A Sprain

    "The current injury is a Grade 2 sprain. Fitzgerald suffered a Grade 1 sprain of his right knee in preseason. He missed some practice time and wore a brace during workouts with an athletic trainer. Fitzgerald has not missed a game since the 2007 season."

    From Rant Sports:  The Arizona Cardinals Are NOT Superbowl Contenders

    "The Arizona Cardinals are one of the hottest team in the NFL and sit atop the NFC West in the standings.  The team has had a balanced attack all season and has continued to win thanks to a full team effort, but when considering if the Cardinals are Super Bowl contenders, the answer is no because the Cardinals’ offense is too weak."

    From Arizona Sports: Deone Bucannon Makes His Mark

    "That’s the position Bucannon played during a stellar collegiate career in Pullman; it was certainly where the Cardinals planned to play him during his rookie season. But things changed. Most notably, inside linebacker Daryl Washington was suspended for the entire 2014 season, making it necessary for head coach Bruce Arians and defensive coordinator Todd Bowles to be flexible and creative in coming up with a plan for 2014."
