The good news for the Arizona Cardinals is that they just won one of the most exciting games in the history of the NFL. The bad news is that now they have to go on the road and face the #1 seed in the playoffs, and perhaps the best team in the league, the New Orleans Saints. Fans can only hope the game is close to as exciting as the Cardinals 51-45 OT thriller against the Green Bay Packers.
The Cardinals must feel like they cannot be stopped on offense right now. Putting up 51 points in a playoff game will give you that feeling. Unfortunately for them, it probably looks to the Saints like the Cardinals' defense won't be stopping anyone either. They almost cost their team the game with their inability to keep the Packers from scoring at will in the second half of the game.
Whatever happens, it will be thrilling to watch. Fans looking to buy New Orleans Saints tickets should make sure to get them now. Fans wishing to buy Arizona Cardinals tickets should hurry as well. The discount Arizona Cardinals tickets and the discount New Orleans Saints tickets will be a hot item this Saturday.
The Saints have to like their chances with the porous defense the Cardinals exhibited against the Packers. Their offense has to be licking their chops at the chance to put up 40 or more points against the Cardinals' defense. The Saints also have to feel like their defense will handle the Cardinals' offense much better than the Packers did.
Cardinals' fans will definitely be putting their faith in their offense to give them any chance of victory on Saturday. They have one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Kurt Warner. They also have a trio of fantastic wide receivers in Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald, and Steve Breaston. Boldin was unable to play against the Packers, but he should be ready to go against the Saints.
New Orleans will counter with some tremendous talent of their own. They have one of the best quarterbacks in the league over the last six years, Drew Brees. They also have the otherworldly talent of running back Reggie Bush at their disposal. On defense, the key for the Saints will be their excellent free safety, Darren Sharper. With as much passing as the Cardinals do, don't be surprised if he comes up with a pick or two before the end of the game.
This should be a very high-scoring, offensively driven football game. Both teams will be focused on passing for the most part, which will lead to a lot of dead balls when passes fall incomplete and stop the clock. This will prolong the game and increase the score. Who knows, maybe they will break the playoff scoring record the Cardinals and Packers just set. The home field advantage should be all the Saints need to come out victorious.
All of this excitement means you need to hurry and buy New Orleans Saints tickets and Arizona Cardinals tickets right away. They will be snapped up in no time.
