Cardinals at Vikings gameday thread 12-1-24

[Dayman]

Tip Reiman might have played the worst game for a backup TE that I have ever seen. 4 penalties with 1 being declined. He wasn't the sole reason for the loss, obviously, but he definitely played a key role.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I really needed that before going back to LA…

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I think he can do it, but like a lot of his game, just not consistently.

Agreed. And probably not against a good defense or when there’s something (like a playoff berth) on the line.

 

[Dayman]

It boils down to kylers inability to take advantage of blitzing defenses. I believe they dialed up the blitz each of those downs and kyler crumbled.

Through two weeks ago, I believe Kyler had the highest QBR against pressure this season according to Mina Kimes. He obviously has been worse since then.

Next game against Seattle is season defining

 

[Shane]

Cut 87 tomorrow

Number 1 panicked and threw 2 picks and intentional grounding

Cut 87? Ridiculous.

 

[some dumb guy]

poo fudge cocksuckers wuss ass conservative freaking offense!
Fire that wuss ass fudge nugget petzing. That freaking candy ass bitch

don't hold it in man, you've got to express your feelings, or it will eat you up.........LOL

 

[Chopper0080]

Nonsense. Murray has been excellent against the blitz his entire career, look up the stats.

This year not so much because he has one hand tied behind his back by an OC who doesn't understand 2020's football and WRs who can't separate an inch against man coverage.

Flores, one of the best DCs in the NFL, just blitzed Kyler while playing man more than he has in any game this season. That is because Kyler is struggling vs man this year. That’s the book on him right now.

Totally deserved to lose that game when you score 9 pts in the redzone and 2 of those I believe started at the 30

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

Well the streak continues & im so sick of losing to these cocksuckers!!!

Imo 3 peeps cost them the win because of mistakes in critical moments:
1) Tip Reiman-holding, false start etc.
2) Petzing-you have first & goal on the biggest drive of the year trying to ice the game & you call any empty set pass play that results in an intentional grounding. RUN THE DAMN BALL!!!
3) Rollis-great game plan until you decided to play prevent defense & gave up the first TD. The Vikes did nothing until that point & the tide turned defensively. On the game winning drive you did the same thing except for 2 plays.

I’m so sick for this team. The playoff dream is over imo.

We beat Seattle next week & we're back tied for 1st & then have 2 games that are very winnable, Panthers & Patriots. This one stings but it is what it is, if the refs don't fudge us at the 3 yard line we win imo, regardless of all the other mistakes.

 

[Covert Rain]

That’s a contradiction. Nobody fears an inconsistent QB.

Yeah I’m no longer holding my breathe. This loss probably has some carry over effects.

Make or break our season

What team will show up?

Are we the SOC who find new ways to lose?

Or a good team that finds a way to win?

It's the book on the Cardinals offense, not Kyler. Beating man requires a receiver to... beat his man. None of ours can do that. Kyler had to force the throw in to Marv who couldn't gain an inch of separation and actually lost any leverage, allowed the DB to be underneath him with no room to place the ball.

Yep, we just ran out of house money

Well, I guess I'll save some money.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Tough one man. Murray not clutch today and some costly mistakes in Q4.

Still a good game though. We fought hard and I'm proud of the team overall.

Season is on the line next week.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

I like how @Brian in Mesa is so quiet in this thread

Working a fair convention in downtown Phoenix. Just caught the final score from a sidewalk by way of a TV in a bar while walking a colleague back to her hotel. Saw Kyler sitting with his head down then saw the final seconds ticking down. What did I miss other than us extending our losing streak in Minnesota?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Lol. Kyler is bad against the blitz this season because . . . of the coordinator and wide receivers and because it’s Sunday. What else do you want to blame kylers failings against the blitz this season? How about unicorn farts?

Prior seasons don’t matter. See kylers long ball regression. You are what you are in the nfl. And right now kyler can’t beat a bout to save his life.

 

[Broseph]

we are going to be angry next Sunday, I am confident we will beat the Hags at home.

 

[Chopper0080]

We keep hoping he will find that groove and get the consistency that he needs

But somehow it eludes him

I don’t expect it to change.

 

[CardNots]

I come to the valley to visit my daughter excited to see two big games locally. I can’t say she expects a return visit during football season after this trip.

I’ll be back to Oklahoma before the next game if anyone was wondering

Being proud of the team after a collapse like that is the song only sung by fans of a perennial loser.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

I don’t expect it to change.

That is sad

I knew the mood was going to be very bad after we lost these first two games after the bye. And, I did expect to lose both.

But we still control our destiny. Next three:

Home - Seattle
Home - Patriots
Away- Panthers

You cannot expect a friendlier schedule at this point in the season.

I think people forget we just aren't close to a finished product yet.
