Maybe they are tanking, maybe they aren't.  But they are 31-50 in the last 5 years (yes, I am sure you know that).  They actually don't need to tank (even though I think they started last year).  Because they have good young players, but they just aren't very good.  So it's kind of a wash.  The win total is 4.5 most places.  So the logical conclusion is: 1. they have tanked and are done, 2. they aren't done tanking, or 3. they just aren't very good.  IMO, it's a combo of 1 and 3.  Lowest projected Win Total in the league.

OOC Away (not easy): Eagles and Steelers
OOC Home (not easy): Giants, Ravens, Bengals

So I HEAR you...and know what you are saying.  They are rebuilding (top to bottom) and definitely the right thing to do.  But they don't necessarily have to tank because they aren't that good.  And when you have the Texans 1st round pick, there's no one in the management team that has high expectations.

Not bagging on you for being a Cardinals fan, just saying it might be a little different than you are seeing it as a fan.  Now, they go ATL, RAMS, Texans, Steelers...so maybe they do go into that game with momentum.  But it's also Pittsburgh in DEC after 3 warm weather games.  Just saying, depending on the spread in that game...i've got my eye on it.  I also agree with you that many people are overrating (maybe WAY overrating) the players that left.
