I mean, we all saw the game didnt we? Early deep throws, max protection, tried to run in multiple formations and some exotic wide receiver sets. They had absolutely no answer for the Hawks.
Just reading around the internet message boards for multiple teams, eson and nfl.com... Everyone is saying Arizona didnt even try. I mean, its kind of an insult and I think will only fuel the fire in the event of a rematch. If I was Arizona Id be worried about Washington.

I can see it looking at the box score. AZ, a team that has no trouble scoring points, scored 0 after the half, at home. By halftime in Carolina, the score was 24-3. I mean, they put Drew Stanton in. Win or loss, they were locked in the 2 at that point.

Great post! Of all the factors you mentioned, the last one is the big one -- Seattle is raging into the playoffs, whilst AZ is going in after a blowout loss at home with meaningful playoff implications.Hawks46":2xtijwam said:I don't care what everyone is saying. The Cardinals actually had more to play for than we did. They were playing for HFA throughout the entire playoffs, while we were already in the playoffs and 5th or 6th seed really didn't matter.
The other thing is that our team has a killer mentality in December. They understand what it takes to win in the post season and know how to turn on a winning attitude.
If Arizona (and their coaching staff !) don't understand this, it speaks to having more issues in the playoffs than beating us. They got their asses handed to them, then they have a week to stew over it. Then you're supposed to come out all fired up ? It's an issue with a ton of NFL teams that you can come out flat after a bye. You really don't want to go INTO a bye flat.
