Re: Cardinals in Super Bowl 2008 9-7 season

The Cardinals in 2008 were in a class by themselves. In 07 & 11, had the Eagles won one close game against the Giants each year they would been in the playoffs. Especially in 011 there record would have been 9-7 to the Giants 8-8.

1961 Seeking 2ndNFL Title-Pitt did not help the Eagles

The New York Giants finished the season at 10-3-1 and the Philadelphia Eagles were 10-4, 1/2 game behind. Freezing other variables, a Week 2 game at Pittsburgh between the Steelers and the Giants really hurt both Pennsylvania teams. The Giant offense was phasing in Y. A. Title as the first string qu...
