Sports with Bob McFlurry
With all the prognostications and predictions going on about the coming NFL season I figured I might as well join in the mix. Guess what people, the Arizona Cardinals, yes the same Arizona Cardinals who beat the Eagles in the NFC Championship game last January, WILL NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR.
Wow, did I really say that? Yes it’s in the paragrph above you can look slightly up and see it. Need I remind you that the Cardinals finished last season at 9-7 in an anemic NFC West Division. Yes they have arguably the best wide receiver in the league in Larry Fitzgerald and a guy the Eagles should have traded a first rounder and what ever else the Cardinals wanted in Anquan Boldin. They also have a guy at Quarterback who is about 50-50 to make the Hall of Fame in Kurt Warner.
Now despite their offesnive prowess and certain players on Defense like Adrian Wilson and Karlos Dansby, they are still the Arizona Cardinals. The same Arizona or Pheonix Cardinals that have been an NFL doormat for since their move to the Grand Canyon State.
What evidence do I have to back this claim up? None whatsoever. Just an educated guess but if it comes through, Bob McFlurry is a genious becasue most of hte ESPIdiots have this team in the upper echelon of the NFC. In my humble opinion, not happening.
A team I think that is on the rise and will take the Cardinals place in the NFC playoffs next year is the San Francisco 49ers. All the 49ers have to do is play consistently respectable offense (make more big plays than mistakes) and have a better than average special teams and they’re 10-6. They’re defense better be good because Hall of Famer and current 49ers Head Coach aint’ takin’ no bullshit over there and they have a top 3 middle linebacker in the league in Patrick Willis.
Overall, look for exactly what I said would happen, downfall of Cardinals despite the best receiver in the league and rise of an unheralded team back to prominence after 10 years.
If what I say does not happen I can blame it on being drunk and not my lack of Sports knowledge.
