Saints deck the Cards

The Cardinals started off like they finished last week, then they were finished. After taking the first play from scrimmage 70 yards for a touchdown, the Cards were shut out to 1 TD the rest of the way. In the meantime the Saints racked up 45 points by the 3rd quarter.

The highlight of the game had to be Warner's awkward interception and head over heels blow he took. Unfortunately Warner couldn't be Warner today as he got rocked throughout the game. The Saints offense was just to much to handle for the Cards D, in addition to Rodgers-Cromartie being knocked out early.

I think the Saints belong in the NFC Championship. Their season was just to good to flame out early. I look forward to either another showdown with the Cowboys or hopefully the long awaiting matchup with Favre and the Vikings.

The Cardinals will most likely have to rely on the lefty Matt Leinart next year, which pretty much guarantees the departure of Anquan Boldin (to the Titans maybe??). You feel for Warner to go out like that, as well as Larry Fitzgerald who may have just passed his best chance at a Super Bowl ring.

I'm looking forward to the potential NFC matchup next week, I think whoever comes out of the NFC beats the AFC team represented.
