| Is this the year they break through and win the division? The talent is there, so it's all on Matt Leinart. |

| It's Matt Leinart's time. He needs to show he can be a star passer. The defense had too many injuries in 2007. If they stay healthy and add a body or two, the Cardinals will push Seattle. |
| 01/01/2008 | 15 | 16 |
| They finished 8-8, which is a nice first season for Ken Whisenhunt. With a break here or there, they'd be in the playoffs. |
| 12/25/2007 | 16 | 18 |
| They would love to finish 8-8 with a victory this week. If a close game here or there goes their way, they'd be in the playoffs. |
| 12/18/2007 | 18 | 18 |
| It's another non-playoff season for the Cardinals. But they have made progress. They just had way too many injuries. |
| 12/11/2007 | 18 | 13 |
| The injuries are catching up to the Cardinals and a loss at New Orleans would mean another playoff-less season. |
| 12/04/2007 | 13 | 14 |
| If the playoffs started today, they'd be in. But they want more, and to get that they have to beat Seattle this week. That will be tough with all the injuries. |
| 11/27/2007 | 14 | 14 |
| Why is it that when this team is about ready to go where they haven't gone in a while they always go back to where they have been? That loss to the 49ers at home is inexcusable. |
| 11/20/2007 | 14 | 15 |
| That was an enormous road victory at Cincinnati and might be something this young team can build on. The division can still be theirs. |
| 11/13/2007 | 15 | 20 |
| At 4-5, they're in the division race. The way that defense played against the Lions, they might just win it. |
