Seriously, what was Ken Whisenhunt thinking?
The Arizona Cardinals beat the New England Patriots on Sunday. The Patriots had a chance to kick a go ahead field goal as time expired but they missed it. Depending on who you ask, the hold was questionable. That bad hold saved The Cardinals head coach a lot of question answering.
The Cardinals were in complete control of the game. There was about eighty seconds left in the game, they had the ball and The Patriots had no time outs left. It was third down, a very long third down. All The Cardinals needed to do was run a play that left the clock running as long as it could until they punted the ball back to the Patriots. The Patriots would have gotten the ball back with less than thirty seconds remaining.
Why didn’t The Cardinals knee the ball?
Instead, they ran a running play that resulted in a fumble and The Patriots recovered it. The Patriots worked the ball down closer and went to kick a field goal with six seconds remaining. Gostkowski...

Arizona Cardinals: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#23)
Last week: 23 (+7)
Record: 2-0
The Cardinals are one of only 6 undefeated teams left in the NFL, but they’re by far the weakest of the bunch. They’ve been outgained in each of their first 2 games, but won anyway, and have a negative yards per play differential and are tied with Jacksonville for the worst yards per play rate at 4.2. They’ve got a nice defense, but I still don’t...

The Arizona Cardinals vs. the New England Patriots in Foxborough.
If you saw this game on the NFL schedule, then it’s pretty obvious who you would expect to come out with the victory.

Arizona has won 9 of 11 after upset at New England
The day-after enthusiasm for one of the Arizona Cardinals' biggest road victories ever was subdued at team headquarters.
The players and their coach understand too well how close that one was, but the 20-18 triumph at New England, secured when the Patriots' Stephen Gostkowski missed a 42-yard field goal with one second to play, fits a pattern for this resurgent Arizona franchise...
Leach: Youth a factor with inconsistency
WASHINGTON STATE COACH Mike Leach generally has an interesting way of stating his thoughts. Sometimes that requires clarification. Leach was asked about his “tent over circus” statement, his thoughts on the development of a defensive lineman and, of course, the Pac-12 story of the week – injuries – during Tuesday’s Pac-12 coaches conference call.

2-0? Yes, 2-0. On to Arizona.
We are witnessing the first 2-0 start since 2004, two outstanding defensive displays, and the ablility to win games late. Except for turnovers and penalties, our Philadelphia Eagles gave us reasons for optimism against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
