Sorry for the delay.
1 – Kyler Murray certainly looked healthier than the last few weeks (which probably has something to do with the fact that he was), and if he gets fully going again then this offense is capable of everything.
2 – With the victory, the Cards eliminated the Niners. Now it feels like Christmas.
3 – Everything was set up for the pass defense to have a field day - and then they get torched.
4 – This year, I think I have heavily neglected to mention how great a player Zeke Turner is. Other than the flash plays, he clearly leads the league in assisted tackles on special teams. He is always around the football as a gunner.
5 – The opposing offense’ best change to convert a third down is to get in third-and-very-long.
6 – I am a big fan of European football (what you call soccer – come on, guys. Really?), and this is what we call “an open game,” which means that no one is in control, you truly feel like anything can happen at any second, and momentum is swinging back and forth. I really don’t like games like that. It so uneasy. So unpredictable. I don’t like it.
7 – I was looking forward to seeing Justin Pugh and Justin Murray as the two guards for an entire game, so I was bummed that Pugh was out, so Murray was in fact replacing him instead of Sweezy.
8 – First Fitz-touchdown of the season! Weeehuuu!
9 – On average, Dennis Gardeck creates a sack every 13 defensive snap he plays. I am no football coach, but I am pretty sure that is a good ratio.
10 - I feel like Jordan Hicks is underrated by many fans.
11 – Sure, you often heard about how Nuk Hopkins was great at contested catches, and from time to time you maybe saw a highlight from a Texans game, but I certainly did not follow them closely, so to see it repeatedly? Man, that is impressive.
12 – What a great throw by Andy Lee. So much touch on it, dropping it right in the basket.
13 – Tough, tough game for the two tackles (and J.R. Sweezy, Mason Cole, Justin Murray, and Max Garcia).
14 – It never stop to amazes me how impressive closing speed Haason Reddick has. That is better than 99.9% of all players in the NFL. Oh, and he registered the fastest sack of the week in the NFL with 2.04 seconds.
15 – It is not like I am breaking any big secret here, but Chase Edmonds is really a joy to watch when he gets in open space.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
