Get the DofuStream app on your phone.
Be the dutiful husband.
Periodically slip to the patio or restroom to check scores and watch a couple plays.
After every checkup, when you rejoin the crowd slip to your wife and give her a minor pda to let her know you are so joyful to be there with her.


WARNING!!!
When sneaking a game peak in the bathroom be sure to practice self control. I once yelled out "oh fudge YEAH!!!"
and everyone was staring at the bathroom when I came out.

I have nfl pass so don’t need dofu but I did use it last year.

Unfortunately, I’m at the point where I would actually watch a Cardinals game only if I was bored and wanted a higher level of boredom

Those things are hidden better than they got a right to be in some cases.
On my truck it's under the intake manifold. Costs 50 bucks just in gaskets...takes hours.

Got Honda CRV and luckily it's pretty easy to reach on exhaust manifold. Just got to remove air hose to unplug connector. No way I would be attempting to replace it otherwise tbh

Arizona Cardinals DL Roy Lopez on what he's seeing out of the walking sponge that is Darius Robinson two games in:"There's a reason he's here. He's got a great future. He's going to be amazing. As a fan of football, I'm excited to watch him play. He's going to be a problem."

I hope so. I mentioned it in the game thread he didn't seem to make a ton of impact but when you watch the replays the amount of times Seattle, and Minnesota before, double teamed him it would appear THEY think he's pretty good.

AS much time as he's missed I won't panic but he has 1 assisted tackle in 2 game, that's it. But again he was doubled often in the Seattle game

The last time we beat the Pats was with Kevin Kolb under center.

We we're at that game. What a crazy game. Their fans were heading out the door until little sweetness fumbled. Then they came running back to their seats only to see them miss the FG. Ran into @TheCardinal in the parking lot. What a win my son @AZfaninMN could hardly walk out the stadium his knees were so weak. I laughed at him all the way to the car. Listening to Patriot radio all the way back to Boston was the best ride ever

Do you mean in New England? Because they beat us at home in week 1 SNF when Brady was suspended and we were coming off the NFC Title game.

The Pats O line is pretty crap. If he doesn't have an impact on Sunday I'll be concerned.

Yeah. Just looked up the last time the Cards won at home against the Pats, St Louis was home and it was 1975!

 

[JohnnyCakes]

yeah id take that with a grain of salt. The 80's and 90's cardinals didnt beat anyone at home. lol

 

[dreamcastrocks]

What team will show up?

It's a mystery with this team

They definitely can't take them lightly

I need this team to win this game, or I might fully embrace the dark side for maybe the first time in my life. These past 3 games have been demoralizing...

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I'm pretty down like everyone else after the last 3 games but...

It's not crazy to think the Cards could win 3 of the last 4 and the Seahawks lose 3 of the last 4.

The Seahawks have the Packers and Vikings at home, but the Seahawks have actually been worse at home, then a gimme on the road vs the Bears (pray for snow), then the Rams on the road. The Rams have won 7 of the last 10 vs the Chicks and the last 3.

Meanwhile, we have the Pats at home, the Panthers on the road is much harder than it looked 6 weeks ago but winnable if Kyler can up his game. I think the Rams beat us at the Coliseum, but I think we can beat the Niners at home with some luck.

Of course, if that plays out as I hope then that Niners game at home would be a huge game so Kyler would surely choke.

Don't let anyone take this hope away from you.

You left out the 00's, the 10's and the 20's

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said TE Trey McBride did not suffer his knee issue during last week's game.The head coach did not provide any other injury updates ahead of Friday's practice.

No Emari Demercado or P Blake Gillikin for a third straight Arizona Cardinals practice.Newly signed P Michael Palardy will likely be elevated from the Cards practice squad. Could be an opportunity for Michael Carter to be elevated.

 

[az jam]

Cards need to win this game and they should. However, if they blow this I would put Gannon on the hot seat. I don't mean get rid of him yet but the press and fans should stop blaming Murray on everything and look at the Coach. Losing 4 in a row is not acceptable.

This is fair. One thing that the Cardinals have done this season is beat bad teams. If they start losing to bad teams, it should be a concern.

I've been thinking I'd like to see Carter play.

Connor, Benson and Demercardo are all very similar. Carter offers something different in a running attack that's got stale lately.

I think Gannon is a good HC. If Kyler loses to this Pats team there's only one person needs to go.

Uhh, that’s not how it works.

Unless Kyler throws like 5 pick 6s, Gannon definitely needs to be re-examined if we loses to this Cards team. You are acting like the dude is not the HEAD COACH. I like Gannon a good bit, but it wouldn’t just be an already worse look on Kyler, it would be a bad look Gannon.

Are people really worried we lose this game because we lost to the Seahawks and Vikings? On paper the Seahawks are a much better team than us.

No one should be worried about the Pats

nah... like everyone else has mentioned, we actually handle the bad teams. The problem is we just look like one too often when we play the good teams.

So, here's one thing that can give me a little more hope with Kyler. We potentially have one more big game for hopium's sake in us this season. If we keep taking care of business against the bad teams in the league and end up 8-7, going into the Rams game and say, Seattle loses it's next two, that would mean we're 8-7, Rams are 9-6 and Seattle's 8-7, meaning we'd still have a shot at the playoffs. Now, if Kyler came out and played well and we we beat the Rams, that would be his first legit "must win" game of his career and at least keep playoff hopes alive, while giving me some shred of hope that with a much better supporting cast, we can get to the playoffs next year with Kyler.

Otherwise, we're basically looking at pre-season games that have no impact or pressure on them. They're kinda no win situations. Kyler's shown he can beat bad teams so to win two in a row against them the next two weeks doesn't really tell us anything we don't know. And if he loses one of them, then we know this is probably the worst of his second half swoons.

would be fun to hold out hope though if we win the next couple games and the Hawks lose the next couple. Would at least give us another "show me" game with some stakes against LA.
