    Did a potential deal for Hopkins unravel?

    Possibly, according to "NFL Rumors" article on MSN: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/nfl-rumors-chiefs-trade-for-deandre-hopkins-unraveled-by-unlikely-source/ar-AA1bXlK4?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=77197e13f2034567956911d8509c256b&ei=56

    Just posting the link for those wanting to read the article off MSN. Interesting perspective on the QB market. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/could-recent-trade-frenzy-make-kyler-murray-more-likely-to-try-to-force-his-way-out-now/ar-AAVuKQJ?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=217c232fbea64f6fbdc25bb8e62f861c

    1970: Cards-38 Cowboys-0

    how in the world did Jim Hart manage to catch & tackle the Cowboy defensive back to save a TD on that interception, and yet and ENTIRE team - including wide receivers - couldn't catch James Harrison in 99 yards ... :thud:

    Kingsbury Finalizing a Deal To Become TheArizona Cardinal's Head Coach

    The last time the Cardinals hired a brilliantly minded offensive coach with no NFL experience was a guy named Don Coryell from San Diego State. That worked out pretty well until Papa Bidwill refused to listen to Don and focus on drafting some defensive players -- of course things started to fall...

    Cardinals' HC Search Thoughts Part V

    I hope Michael's people get him your suggestion. If the Cards could get DeFilippo what would you think of Kurt Warner as a QB coach? especially with a QBOF....Has Warner ever shown an interest in coaching?

    The Bottom Line: Offensive Line

    Is some of it that the QB position has changed for most of football (e.g.: toward the highly mobile QB) and some teams (e.g.: the Cardinals) want a traditional "pocket passer", but lineman coming out of college have geared their skills more toward the mobile QB.... more fluid, able to run away...

    The Bottom Line: Offensive Line

    Not too much to read. Excellent analysis. Thanks for your insight. The Cardinals do not appear to be alone in the struggle to build a cohesive offensive line. This seems to be the common weak link when an NFL team is below average. The Seahawks don't seem to have figured it out the last...

    What ever happended to Robert Nkemdiche?

    Very interesting - and I'd say fair - assessment of Nkemdiche. Will he eventually pan out? he has the physical attributes. I believe he's in the right environment to succeed (there are some leaders on that defense that should be motivation to him). What is holding him back...

    Always nice to be First

    Steelers #1 in the AFC. A Cardinals-Steelers rematch in the SuperBowl? Of course, I'll take any SuperBowl birth, BUT I can't stand the thought of potentially losing to them again...Steeler fans are beyond obnoxious (at least the ones I know). On the other hand....BEATING them in the SuperBowl...

    OT: Cardinals Future, If They Win The Superbowl

    I'll take that chance for a Cardinals SB win. :)

    My wife now understands why.......

    I agree with several opinions in this thread. Yes, as a life long Cards fan I am always "guarded" going into big games. I'm conditioned to not expect too much. I get aggravated at Steelers, Patriots, Cowboys fans that just "know" their team is going to win...it's a given. I just can't make...

    Truth Be Told, I'd Rather Lose Like This

    I feel somewhat the same way....we clearly were NOT the best team. The Panthers deserved to win. This game left NO doubt. Lick your wounds and figure out what gets you back to the Championship game next year.

    Gameday thread Cardinals at Panthers NFC Championship 1-24-16

    The answer to the last part of your question is: YES. All this about these players having "no heart" and not showing up to play is hogwash...the Panthers are just a much better team than us right now - playing AT HOME where they are 9-0....

    This ain't the regular season...this is for the Superbowl. I don't think there going to let off the gas. We are going to have to take it to them if we want to win.

    I live in Tenessee. I past a whole flock on my way to work a couple of days ago - must have been a dozen or so on the edge of the woods. Gotta' be a sign - right? :-)

    OT-Memories of Days Past

    Yes! for some reason I enjoyed be the black sheep in the family...when everyone around me was cheering the stupid Cowboys on - I was cheering when they lost and the Cardinals won!

    OT-Memories of Days Past

    I started following the Cardinals in 1972. I was 11 years old. I grew up in Memphis. Back then, Memphis got 3 teams regularly on TV. The Cowboys, the Saints, and the Cardinals. But we got all the Cardinals football games on radio (Jack Buck did the football too as I recall) Memphis also is a...

    May the Better Team Lose

    I would love to share your unabashed optimism. I just see a lot of match-up nightmares for the Cardinals. Newton is playing out of his mind this year and we have trouble with mobile QB's of his caliber. Stewart is back and healthy adding the threat of the run (he was out against the lowly...

    May the Better Team Lose

    Very well thought out. I tend to agree with you. I think the Cards have to play a nearly perfect game (on the road no less) to have a shot at winning and even then I think it's a tall order. The Cards offense works best off the play-action pass, and the running game did not look good...

    Packers at Cardinals for our next game

    I do believe the Cardinals are a better team, but don't forget this is a Packers team that started the season 6-0 before they ran into a rough spot in the middle of the season, and did win 3 of their last 5. As long as they have Aaron Rodgers they're dangerous. Go Cards!

    Gameday thread Cardinals at Eagles 12-20-15

    why wouldn't the Eagles just throw 10 yard TE curl routes the rest of the night? the Cardinals are incapable of stopping it....ugh....TEs will be the end of this team in the playoffs...Bruce, please find an answer!

    The Best Franchise of all Time

    interesting thing about the Steelers...and no one seems to remember now...prior to the 1970's, the Steelers were probably the WORST franchise in the NFL. They were truly a 'laughing stock'. I don't know if they even had a winning season until - all of sudden - everything came together for them...
