Additionally, they ended having to play the best team in the NFC East by far, Philly, on the road when Philly was on the uptick. That was one of their losses and the reason why they can't simply beat the Niners and get in due to a better record than them. And in that game, Palmer threw two picks compared to zero from Philly. There's little doubt that the Cards would have beaten either the Giants (like Seattle) or Washington (like San Francisco). Finally, they also, like San Francisco, had to play the Saints on the road.
