Good morning! The Red Sox have a new first baseman after completing a trade that sent Hunter Dobbins and minor leaguers to the Cardinals for Willson Contreras. What does this mean for their other pursuits? According to one insider, it means they are done talking with the Diamondbacks about a trade for Ketel Marte: Of […]
If you were so inclined, you could find plenty to complain about in this game. The Falcons allowed a couple of big, explosive passing plays and were downright lackluster against the run. The offense messed up some key third and fourth downs and turned the ball over once. Special teams was mildly shaky. And so […]
Things are fine. Sure the Arizona Cardinals ran their losing streak to an impressive seven games in a row, sure they sustained more injuries that look serious, and sure the bright spots on the season were mostly held in check, but they lost so their draft pick had to get better… right? Nope, while the […]
Hello again, everybody. It’s Monday, and that means the return of the Zona Mista after having the weekend off. Did you miss it? Of course you did! Look at us just providing you plenty of content to start out your week. So enough stalling. Let’s get to business. Let the man cook Look who finally […]
Is another 40-point outburst on deck? That is really the only question that will need to be answered for the Arizona Cardinals as they head to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals next week in an early morning kickoff. The Cardinals open as 6.5-point underdogs according to our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook, and I would […]
The Atlanta Falcons get out of the desert with their first road win against the Arizona Cardinals in over 20 years. Bijan Robinson became the third Falcon in team history to hit the 2,000 scrimmage yard mark. A Falcons win should feel better than it currently does, but the win still feels good. Here are […]
The Atlanta Falcons had never won in the current Arizona Cardinals stadium. They had been struggling on the road off and on all year. None of that mattered today, as the Falcons picked up their second straight win and beat Arizona on a potent Bijan Robinson game and a late CJ Henderson interception. It was […]
The Arizona Cardinals should be leading. Or maybe trailing. Whatever it should be, the reality is they are tied with the Atlanta Falcons after the first half and the game is unfolding like Jess and I expected. This had all the earmarks of a shootout, the question would be could the Cardinals offense keep pace […]
The final homegame of the 2025 NFL season is upon us. That is the good news. The bad news is that the Arizona Cardinals will have two more games after this one, and it could be a mixed bag, as the Bengals look miserable, but the Rams will have to play their starters as they […]
Whenever the injury report is an important topic of discussion, that’s not a good sign. That’s where the Lakers find themselves currently with Deandre Ayton, Rui Hachimura, and Gabe Vincent all missing the team’s most recent contest against the Clippers. Then you add Luka Dončić being ruled out after playing just two quarters against the […]
The usual procedure will apply: For your consideration, here are all the rookie qualified hitters and pitchers this year for Arizona, in descending order of playing time (PA for hitters, IP for pitchers). I’d say this likely to be not quite as a procession as last year, when Justin Martinez got 79% of the vote, […]
Overview 2025 Review Ryan Thompson is something of a rare breed in Arizona. He’s a reliable relief arm. HE’s been a reliable relief arm since the Diamondbacks picked him up from the rubbish pile just before their playoff run in 2023. He made his Arizona debut in August of that season, recording a clean inning […]
Several Atlanta Falcons players have a chance to finish the 2025 season strong, which will carry ramifications fo both the team and those individual players entering the 2026 offseason. That creates a lot of intrigue for this Week 16 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Thus, I’m tasked with naming five, and only five, Falcons who […]
The Arizona Cardinals are bad. They are actually bordering on awful at this point, and now they have to try and stop another valley running back product, this one who is going to be an All Pro in Bijan Robinson. This should be… interesting. Jess and I are both hopeful that we see a more […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Happy Sunday one and all. The Arizona Cardinals host the Atlanta Falcons today, and it will […]
Happy gameday one and all. The Arizona Cardinals are heading into their final three games, including their final home game of a miserable season. Now the question becomes, will the Cardinals show up at all at home? Can they contain Bijan Robinson? Can they slow down Kirk Cousins and the Falcons passing game? Will they […]
Zac Gallen went into this season looking for a rebound. It was a contract year, and 2024 had been one to forget for the righty, so he was obviously hoping for a strong performance to send himself into free agency and a nine figure contract. That quite simply was not to be, however. It was […]
Atlanta Falcons rookie cornerback Cobee Bryant had a rough debut last Thursday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he has a prime bounce-back opportunity ahead of him versus the Arizona Cardinals. Should he achieve that, it could have significant ramifications for decision-makers at the top of the Falcons organization. While last week’s win over Tampa […]
In a battle between two of the most tortured fanbases the NFC has ever produced, the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals have historically just about shared the spoils in their respective histories head to head, with the Cards edging out a narrow 18-16 lead. The former St. Louis, turned Phoenix, turned Arizona Cardinals do not […]
Arizona Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison has been having heel issues that have kept him out of the past two games since injuring his foot in the Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, he should be ready to go against the Atlanta Falcons at home this Sunday with a 1:05 pm kickoff. RELATED: […]
It is a bit disheartening when you know what is going to happen before it happens. That was the Arizona Cardinals matchup against the Houston Texans. We never doubted the Arizona Cardinals would lose. We never doubted that the Cardinals offense would do somethings down by four scores. We never thought that a practice squad […]
Overview Drafted in the 5th round of the 2020 draft, Brandon Pfaadt dominated the hitter friendly environments that make up the majority of the Arizona farm system. I won’t go into his full minor league history, but holding PCL batters to a 2.61 ERA and 3.71 ERA in two seasons is beyond impressive. Having rightfully […]
A Bird Battle of two tailspun teams missing their starting quarterback takes place on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, when the Falcons face off against the Cardinals. On the heels of its upset road victory over Tampa Bay, Atlanta finds itself as 2.5-point road favorites over Arizona, per FanDuel Sportsbook. Quarterback Kirk Cousins dialed it back […]
Thank goodness it’s Friday! Today, the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals both held their final practices of the week. We have been monitoring the health for both teams over the last few days, and we now have game designations to share. Let’s take a look! Falcons injury report, Week 16 Full • RB Bijan Robinson […]
As we stare out the window and wait for spring, the projection systems have begun to churn out their expectations for next seasons. One of the most established and well-respected entries in this category is ZIPS, created and maintained by Dan Szymborski over at Fangraphs. He has been releasing the system’s expectations for next season, […]
