The Arizona Cardinals will be left at home in January but two games remain to try to get back to .500
For many Arizona Cardinals fans, getting back to .500 doesn’t mean much to them. Yes, winning and making the playoffs is a lot more fun.
The Cardinals host the New York Giants this week in a game that when the schedule came out looked to be a game that could have a lot on the line. Now you have two teams very disappointed in how this season has turned out.
Both teams have had a rash of injuries. The Giants lost 75 percent of their wide receiving core in one game early on. They weren’t that great even before that.
The Cardinals have 14 players on injured reserve. Absolutely that sucks but it has given us a chance to be introduced to players like tight end Ricky Seals-Jones.

It’s not much of a bright side for Cardinals fans but the defense has played really good over the past month. They’ve played well enough to win every game if the offense was a little more consistent and could push the ball into the end zone.
Don’t skip watching these Cardinals over the last two weeks. They have the Giants this week and then finish at the Seattle Seahawks, a team that has struggled quite a bit themselves. They lost 42-7 at home to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday.
Drew Stanton will be the starting quarterback for the Cardinals. Yes, we are aware many of you would rather stick a fork in your eye than watch Stanton play but we just have to accept what it is.
Changes are coming. Many changes are coming. For now, let’e enjoy what we have left of the 2017 Cardinals and once January 1st comes around in a week and a half, we can start working on what needs to happen to get ready for the 2018 season.
