Reply #5: Interesting that they were 6 point underdogs [View All]

All the talking heads on ESPN picked Seattle, all the fantasy "experts" said start Matt Hasselbeck because of the Cardinals 'D' (who btw have are the #1 rush defense in the league), Seahawks were 2-0 with Matt Hasselbeck(former MVP) playing a complete game(2 of the other losses Seneca Wallace was the starter), and they were at home where they put up 2 shut-outs but because the Cardinals won and held Hasselbeck to 112 passing yards it was because Seattle is no barometer.

I wouldn't look too much last year, the defense missed tackles all the time last year and that was the #1 thing I watched for this year and they are making those open field tackles. Pass defense is the only thing that has been consistent. They have been consistent at stopping the run(#1 in the league), have 13 sacks, 7 turnovers, and 2 defensive touchdowns. Plus the passing offense has been consistent for every game this season.

The 49ers are playing good football this year with the exception of the Falcons game, the Colts game looks bad but they had 2 turnovers inside the 5 and one of those Boldin was grabbed and pulled but there was no call and Manning has 5 straight 300+ passing yard games this season so it's hard to fault the Cardinals as no one has yet to slow down Manning either.

Since you say Arizona's inconsistency is not likely to change does not mean it isn't because you say but they have been pretty consistent in several aspects of the game and for Seattle to be such a low barometer they beat them in convincing fashion like they were supposed to if they are that lowly of a team. I don't know or you don't know what's going to happen but there is a reason they do it on the field rather than bullshit on a message board. Anyways very few teams are playing consistent and many of those teams that are won close games that could have easily gone the other way(with the exception of the Saints).

Have a good day. :hi:
