I hope this doesn't go to our heads...

• How much longer can Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt possibly stick with the erratic Derek Anderson at quarterback? Anderson simply can't put the football where he wants it to go, and it's a not a recent phenomenon. Anderson had two more interceptions in Arizona's blowout 41-7 loss at Atlanta, and as enamored as Whisenhunt is with rookie QB Max Hall, you have to wonder if the decision to pull the rip cord on Matt Leinart will wind up dooming the Cardinals 2010 season?
Arizona didn't like Leinart's game because he tended to play it safe with check-down throws, instead of risking something downfield. But after watching Anderson throw the ball all over the field the past two weeks, the Cardinals might be sorry they're not playing it safe.
• That's a backfield that goes three-deep in Atlanta. No Michael Turner? No Jerious Norwood? No problem. The Falcons just trot out third-team running back Jason Snelling and he rumbles for 129 yards and three total touchdowns. You can win a lot of games in the NFL when rushing for 221 yards and throw for 225, like well-balanced Atlanta did against Arizona.

This is momentum & gives them confidence that they can play this game & score TD's. It makes the Steelers game look like what it really was, a great game by a top 3 defense (maybe #1 when it's all over).

We needed this. It can't possibly go to your head when you're 1-1 & next up are last year's world champs.

Can't see how it possibly could with NO next on the schedule.

Oh I was being sarcastic considering how the press tried to put an end to our season last week.

I was thinking that same thing. If we get to overconfident the Saints will bring us down to earth in a hurry.

Can you all imagine how awesome we'll feel if we beat the Taints in N.O. though?

I won't stop smiling for days. It would be like Christmas & your wife surprises you with fake boobies. Nothin but smiles!

It won't go to our heads, but what it WILL do is finally give the offense a much-needed boost of confidence after a preseason + 1 reg season game of futility. It will also hopefully alert Mularkey that using a healthy dose of Turner + Snelling (which MM seemed to have trotted out the gate to begin the game) is a GOOD thing that adds another capable runner and receiver out the backfield in Snelling.

I don't think this is a team that will get over confident. The fans? Sure. Players? I doubt it. This is a team that caught hell after Week 1, and came out and played an amazing game of football. All the way around. This team nearly beat the Saints twice last year, I feel good about them going in and taking a win in New Orleans.
