Who are the Arizona Cardinals? There are answers to this question in the numbers: 3rd place in the NFC West with an 8-9 record. Picking 16th in the draft out of 32 teams. 12th in Total DVOA, 14th in weighted DVOA, 11th on Offense, 14th on Defense. If the playoff seeding was determined entirely by weighted DVOA, the Cards would have been in the dance. This is a team that is decently well coached (by a snake!* jk, or am I???) with a roster full of solid, good players. By a lot of accounts, this a competent football team…
… That is so very, very, painfully mid.
