Cardinals Blog: Better Team Won On Sunday

SB Nation's resident Cardinals blog, Revenge of the Birds, breaks down the game-turning moment from Saturday's loss to the Saints, and what it means for the Cardinals:

After the Saints tied the game 7-7, Kurt Warner hit Jerheme Urban in stride, who was hacked by Randall Gay to force the fumble and suck any momentum out of the Cardinals offense at that point. The Saints added two more scores and the Cardinals eventually saw them selves in a 21-7 hole. [...]

Personally I want to congratulate the Saints. They were the better team today and found ways to exploit the Cardinals' weaknesses. Losing Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Antrel Rolle certainly hurt, but that's no excuse for the lack of production on offense. The Cardinals can now enter offseason mode and so will we here at ROTB. Good luck to the Saints and represent the NFC well in the Super Bowl.

PS. I hate Jerheme Urban.

Of course, if Kurt Warner returns next season, the Cardinals figure to stay in the mix for the NFC playoffs next season. For all things Cardinals, make sure to head on over to Revenge of the Birds as Arizona plots their offseason course.
