Cardinals Moving On After Tough Loss in Tennessee

AUTHOR: Scott Allen | IN: Cardinals, Fanzone | COMMENTS: None Yet

Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said it was time to move on from yesterday’s game and start focusing on the Sunday Night Football on NBC match up against Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings.
I couldn’t agree more.  Coach Whiz also said that the defense still played well in spots, even taking into account the 532 yards the Tennessee Titans racked up yesterday in Nashville.  Well, they did put pressure on Vince Young quite a bit yesterday, including four sacks.  The Titans had only allowed seven all season going into the game.  However, it is a tough sell to me to [...]

Cards Head to Tennessee to Take on Titans

AUTHOR: Scott Allen | IN: Cardinals, Fanzone | COMMENTS: None Yet

Another tough road test on Sunday for the Arizona Cardinals. What once looked like a cake walk now looks more like a walk in the mud.  It’s bound to get dirty in the trenches tomorrow in Nashville.  The  Tennessee Titans (4-6) once were 0-6, however thanks to the emergence of quarterback Vince Young, the Titans have found new life and have every reason in the world to think they can defeat the Cards on Sunday.
At 7-3, the Cards have a chance to go 8-3 and take that record into next weeks huge matchup with the Vikings.
Questions headed into this one:
Will [...]

Happy Thanksgiving! Things We Should Be Thankful For

AUTHOR: Scott Allen | IN: Cardinals, Fanzone, NFL, Off-Topic | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

Happy Thanksgiving raisingzona.com and Arizona Cardinals fans!  I hope you all enjoy your football, food, friends, and family on this spectacular holiday!
As I reflect back on what the season and the past year has brought us as Cardinals fans, we do have a lot to be thankful for as do the Cardinals players themselves.
We (and I) should be thankful for:
Kurt Warner.  Even though he suffered an injury to his head last Sunday, he has done more for this franchise and its fans over the past two years than most have done in a lifetime.  He appears to be good to [...]

Vikings-Cards Dec 6th Game “Flexed” by NBC

AUTHOR: Scott Allen | IN: Breaking News, Cardinals, Fanzone, NFL, News | COMMENTS: 5 Comments

The Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings game on Sunday December 6th has been moved to NBC Sunday Night Football.  The game was originally scheduled for 2:15pm.  The game will now start at 6:20pm. 
Already reading the negative comments on this one, but I think it’s a good move.  Sure, we’ve heard a lot about Brett Favre this season, however this is clerly the better matchup on this week.  So, NFL fans, get over it.  Vikings and Cards fans love the move.  Not sure I am looking forward to getting home close to midnight, but I can’t wait!
Go Cards!

Will Smith is Not Dead, Rest Of NFC West is

AUTHOR: Scott Allen | IN: Cardinals, Fanzone, Off-Topic, Predictions | COMMENTS: 4 Comments

Rumors spread around the internet today that actor Will Smith had died in a car accident.  Will Smith has NOT died.  Not sure where that go started, however, after today’s games, it is clear one thing is dead – the NFC West race.
All that matters are the wins and losses.  The games don’t have to be pretty, and today’s Cards-Rams game was not entirely.  With six games left, the Arizona Cardinals are now 7-3 after defeating the St. Louis Rams today, three games up on the second place San Francisco 49′ers, who are now 4-6. The Seattle Seahawks fell to [...]

Cardinals Manage to Leave St. Louis With 21-13 Win

AUTHOR: Scott Allen | IN: Breaking News, Cardinals, Fanzone, Gameday | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

The Arizona Cardinals are now 5-0 on the road.
It wasn’t the prettiest of games, however the Arizona Cardinals continued to show why they are the best in the west and now can once again be considered a contender when it comes time for the playoffs after defeating the St. Louis Rams 21-13 today.
Cards quarterback Kurt Warner threw 15-19 for 202 yards and two touchdowns before leaving late in the first half with what coach Ken Whisenhunt described after the game as “concussion-like symptoms.”  He gave that info in his post game radio interview, continuing on by saying he was taken [...]

Warner Injures Head, Return Questionable

AUTHOR: Scott Allen | IN: Breaking News, Cardinals, Fanzone, Gameday | COMMENTS: None Yet

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner left the game against the St. Louis Rams late in the first half after taking a hit to the head on the turf on a hard hit.
The Cardinals, who lead 21-3 at halftime, have stated that Warner’s return is questionable.  Matt Leinart was at quarterback to end the first half.  He threw one pass and it didn’t look good.  Look for a steady diet of running from the Cards in the second half.  Running back Tim Hightower already has 91 yards rushing and Beanie Wells has added 35 and a touchdown.

Inside the Fantasy Game

AUTHOR: Scott Allen | IN: Cardinals, Fantasy Football, Fanzone, Gameday, NFL | COMMENTS: None Yet

Going to St. Louis today, the Cardinals offense has the ability to rack up some really good fantasy numbers this week.  I say this of course after the Rams allowed on 21 offensive points last week to the New Orleans Saints.
Kurt Warner should feast on his old team.  Look for him to spread the ball around all his receivers today, Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Breaston, and Anquan Boldin.
Would not be surprised to see the Cardinals defense pick up some points today.  The Cardinals secondary has played really well over the past couple of seasons against Rams quarterback Marc Bulger.
If you look [...]
