Look at the Card's schedule. The Card's after they played us were blessed with a whole bunch of creampuffs, and then had the good fortune to face teams that were tough earlier in the season when they were only shells of their former selves (Colts...looking at you).

I guess I have a hard time with the logic that when another team is good, it's because they play bad teams, but when the Hawks beat bad teams it's because they're good. The games after Ari for Seattle were STL, TB, ATL, Minn. Not exactly world beaters either, but we get credit for winning them. I'm just affording another team the same, and i don't think it's unfair to say that Arizona is playing good football and will probably be the most physical team we've seen this side of SF.

Haven't scored less than 27 points that entire span, aside from a three point loss at Philly with 24 points. I have a feeling this is going to be a tougher game than most of us are expecting, they seem to be playing pretty well right now.

Yet you can not ignore the impact of who you play and when you play them has.

Atlanta
Houston
Jacksonville
Indy
St. Louis
Tennessee
Yes, they are wins but only one of those teams is above .500, right?

1st TD set up by a horrible DPI call and uncharacteristic bad run defense
2nd TD was just a nice sustained drive by TB
3rd TD set up by Kearse fumbling KO return right after the last score and a trick play at the goal line
It was just a perfect storm in the 2nd quarter for a team that was playing like they had nothing to lose. Even the Jags hung in there close for the whole first half against the Broncos.
