Ok, 24 hours has passed since our loss. Lets get over it and focus in on Arizona.

Beating Arizona will have us sharing the top seed of the NFC.

A part of me is glad we had our bad game all around out of our system. When you win 6 in a row it can cause some complacency.

RM is going to dog these guys out on defense at practice all week and our players will respond with a defensive effort we saw vs Seattle. Having Lawrence back will also help out a little with pressure coming off the edge.

Our Oline is still gelling and they're going to adjust to sealing that "A" gap. I trust in Callahan.

Overall, we have a team that can go out and dominate and after MNF heart breaker our boys will take it to Arizona. We need to run the ball 40+ times and we will take Arizona's will out of the game.

Foles passed about 60 times and they looked gassed defensively. Imagine what running on them will do to these guys. With Murray only having 19 carries, he's in order for a 30 carry game.

I'm ready for Arizona! I know yall are too!!!

They score a late TD that is meaningless!

I'm over the loss but until there is some concrete news on Romo kind of hard to think about ARZ at this point; imo.

We have to think about Arizona whether we have Romo or not. The game will be played either way. Hopefully Romo can get back to how he was playing (before Monday night). If not, we'll have to go with Weeden. But the show must go on.

Hope springs eternal. One can view Monday's debacle as either an anomaly (e.g., "bad game" or "the Skins have our number") or an indication of further problems to come. Hard to say how the Arizona game will go...

Most pessimistic I've been before a game this year. Either Romo will play and be physically limited or Weeden starts. The OL is nicked up possibly down 2 starters. Arizona is excellent stuffing the run. They play the aggressive style defensively we faced Monday night every week and have much better talent than Washington. And what is being overlooked is they are arguably the best team and definitely the most balanced team we have faced this season. Taking my heart out of it, I think this is a game that can get away from the Boys if they aren't careful.

Look Arizona isn't the 85 Bears by any stretch but I just think it's the worst opponent at a particular point in the season for the Boys given the injuries and style of play. Cowboys can certainly win this game but it's the stiffest challenge so far this season outside of the 12th Man out in Seattle. Again the injuries to Romo and the OL are the difference.

I'm at the point where I'd rather have a fully ready QB than a hurt one. There's no way you can you me that a 50% Tony Romo gives us a better chance of winning than a 100% Brandan Weeden.

Az is 5th in allowing the least number of points per game. Their defense is stout. Offensive scoring is average.
Seeing as how their defense is good plugging the run, this game won't be easy-peasy at all. Our defense will likely be forced to hold up their end of the bargain. They'll be a challenge.

Hey man, pass it around, must be the good stuff! Ok, I know optimistic when I hear/read it, but did you see the Philly/Card game? We will be lucky if we are still in it at half time!

Good test for the offensive coaches. It was no secret that Haslett blitzes us like crazy every time we play them but we had no answer for it. The same is true of the Cardinals. They blitz more than any other team so they need to be ready for it.

You can call me optimistic. I believe in this team. I'd rather pass around optimism than be pessimistic.

Yes, I saw every minute of the Philly and Arizona game. Philly was pass happy and if it weren't for their meltdowns in the red zone people would be singing a different tune. Did you see the Dallas vs Seattle matchup that was in Seattle?? I hear they have a pretty good defense to until we ran over them.

You have your reasons for skepticism and I have mine for being optimistic. To each their own my friend.

What are you talking about. Arizona was not very impressive in that game. They hit the two big plays but the offense was stagnate for the most part. Philly was able to move the ball and had constant good field position on them. And lol at we will be lucky if we are still in it at halftime like Arizona is Denver or something and been blowing teams off the field. They've scored 30 points once this season and their largest margin of victory has been 11. I'm going to go out on a limb and say we will be in it at halftime.
