I swear, if anyone complains about the number of Chargers' fans being there, and you are not there, I will drag your worthless a$$ to the game and see what we endure, game in and game out. Out of state fans exempt, of course. Even though my friend John from St Louie will be there.

Have the Cardinals EVER won in the black unis? (I still love 'em!)
OK, I checked the Gridiron Uniform Database for the definitive info.

The Cards have had a few variants of black unis. They've had the current all blacks with black helmet since 2022 and they're 0-3 in that combo (2024 week 3 vs. Lions, and 2023 week 4 vs. Bengals and week 11 vs. Rams).

From 2017-2022 the Cards had the black Color Rush uniforms with red numbers, black pants, and the white helmet. They were 1-6 (won 2022 week 7 vs. Saints, lost in the infamous 2021 week 8 game vs. Packers, lost 2020 week 13 vs. Rams and week 11 at Seahawks, lost 2019 week 9 vs. 49ers, lost 2018 week 7 vs. Broncos, lost 2017 week 10 vs. Seahawks).

From 2010-2022 the Cards had the black jerseys with white numbers, which they wore with white pants and the white helmet. They were 8-9 (lost 2022 week 5 vs. Eagles, lost 2021 week 5 vs. 49ers, won 2020 week 7 vs. Seahawks, won 2019 week 6 vs. Falcons, lost 2018 week 14 vs. Lions, won 2017 week 6 vs. Buccaneers, lost 2016 week 4 vs. Rams, lost 2015 week 4 vs. Rams, won 2014 week 3 vs. 49ers, won 2013 week 10 vs. Texans and week 5 vs. Panthers, lost 2012 week 6 vs. Bills and won week 3 vs. Eagles, won 2011 week 9 vs. Rams and lost week 4 vs. Giants, lost 2010 week 12 vs. 49ers and week 8 vs. Buccaneers).

So to summarize... the Cards are 0-3 in the current all-blacks (with all three games at home), and were 1-6 in the old all-black Color Rush with white helmets (0-6 at home and 1-0 on the road). They were 8-9 in the old black jerseys with white numbers, white pants, and white helmet (all at home). So apparently the more white in the uniform, the better their win rate!

Nevertheless, I STILL love the all blacks!

I don't think it's the current All Blacks because they changed them when they launched new Unis last year. We did have the all black in the old Uni but we only wore this new version once I think against the Bengals last year.

Forgive me for having no confidence that Kyler can handle a defense that had Mahomes confused

Tonight is a big game. I know it doesn't seem like it, but it's one of those games that can define a season.

The NFC West is wide open. Seahawks currently lead but are 4-3 and hardly dominant. Everyone is beatable and everyone is prone to losing games.

If we win tonight then we are right back in the mix, and Monti should be on the phone trying to plug holes in this team. If we lose at home, and especially if we lose with another poor performance, I'm not sure it's smart for a GM to be blowing capital on a 2-5 team that looks lost.

I don't think there are going to be any big name trades because I don't think any big names are going to be available, but there are guys out there that can improve this team.

this is basically a test for ESPN+

the test being "how many people will sign up to watch two mediocre teams play while a free better alternative is available?"
I will watch but it is tough to get excited. 3 of the past 5 games their offense has scored 14 pts or less. When your most talented side of the ball is not productive, and your defense has zero exciting front 5 players, it's just a gross watch.
