The Cards won their season ender vs Seattle, but after clinching the division it was very noticable the change in attitude and urgency that the Cardinals displayed.  They seemed very lax and didn’t let a few losses really get to them.  This concerns me because a team like the Cardinals that haven’t been to the playoffs since before I was born really need to finish the season strong and make sure everything is clicking to ensure against any brain farts that may occur due to lack of preparation.  The Cards need to shift the focus from their passing game to their run game and Tim Hightower if they want to be successful against a stingy Falcons D that constantly puts the pressure on opposing QB’s.

NFC WILD CARD PLAYOFFS RESULTS
Atlanta Falcons at Arizona Cardinals

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Nothing the Arizona Cardinals said Saturday resonated more persuasively than their actions during a 30-24 wild-card playoff victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Framed with some justification as one-dimensional, undisciplined playoff pretenders from the NFL's worst division, the Cardinals revealed themselves Saturday as much more.

"Obviously, people have said, 'Same old Cardinals, they should give up their playoff spot the way they've played the last couple weeks,' " veteran defensive end Bertrand Berry said. "That's fine. We understand that when we put our hands in between those stripes, we are a tough team to beat at home."

We now know what to make -- nothing -- of the Cardinals' slide from 7-3 to 9-7 over the final six games of the regular season. If anything, the slide invited ridicule that helped the Cardinals refocus.

The Cardinals were the more balanced team Saturday. They appeared more disciplined in following their defensive assignments. They were surer tacklers. They were more opportunistic. They were more resilient. And they finished more impressively than they had done all season, holding the ball for the final 4:15.

That is how teams win in the playoffs, even if the Cardinals didn't always win that way during the regular season.
