Despite a rough start, the Packers look ready for regular season play

Cardinals left without answers at quarterback after 2 games

The Cardinals have now played two preseason games, and they're still scratching their heads in an increasingly desperate search for a starting quarterback.

  Should we care?  We are lucky enough to have Sunday's only because we have Saturday's.
