well, the anticipation will soon be put to rest in a few days. And congratulations again to the entire Cardinals organization and fans for getting here--what an elixir.

Can't help but think, after watching Arizona's last two games wire to wire...

In the Carolina and Phila games, the Cardinals started off like gangbusters, then hit a lull (just 6 pts in second half v. Car, then the dry spell against Phil until the late comeback). In each game there was a stretch of the game where offensively there was a lack of intensity-plus-execution-equals-points. The Carolina game was never really in question, and to Card fans' delight the game-winner to send the eagles to their cage.

I'm sure the lull is something the coaching staff has discussed among themselves and probably mentioned to the offense to look to avert this Sunday. Makes me wonder what AZ has done preparation-wise (tactically, mentally, in all possible regards of preparation) for a more consistent output that doesn't have the stretches of flat during the game.

Not talking about having an Oklahoma-esque 60-pt game, rather just what they're doing to be more sustained. Maybe it's more in-game adjustments than pre-game prep. If so, would hope the OC and team will do better at countering Pittsburgh's defensive scheme/adjustments than what Car and Phil defenses did to stop the early-on and first-half hot streaks.
