Cardinals lay an egg in San Francisco

Last week the Arizona Cardinals took it to the Vikings and looked like they were ready for a serious playoff run. After last nights pathetic display against the 49ers the only thing they looked ready for was bed time.

Five turnovers in the first half by Arizona pretty much doomed them. That and the fact that Frank Gore ripped the shit out of their defense. It’s quite mind boggling when you think about it because last week they shut down Adrian Peterson! I’m not taking anything away from Gore but I mean come on.

There has to be some serious credit given to the 49ers defense, they played lights out. Patrick Willis is no doubt the leagues best middle linebacker, and he’s starting to look more and more like his head coach used to on the field.

In all honesty neither of these teams has what it takes to make a long playoff run. The 49ers are just too inexperienced. And Arizona in just too inconsistent.

That’s the thing with Kurt Warner. You’ll get some great games from him, but you’ve got to sprinkle in some serious bed-shittings. Last night the sheets definitely needed some changing.

It was a great win for the 49ers to help keep their playoff hopes alive. Unfortunately it’s prolonging the inevitable, which will clearly be disappointment for those that get their hopes up too high.
