3-3-1

[Chopper0080]

Any road win in the NFL is a great win but I’m worried when we have to start playing legitimate NFL teams again.

I wouldn't. We still lack talent and have a staff figuring it out. Winning these fringe games is what matters. Competing in the other games is icing on the cake.

 

[Chopper0080]

This is true! But our safeties still stink

I have liked what I have seen from Jalen Thompson. That open field tackle on Barkley was legit.

All kinds of ugly in that game, to go with all kinds of things to be optimistic about. Heck just winning a 10am kickoff game on the east coast NEVER used to happen, even with some pretty solid Cards teams. Now they've done it twice.

The D has lots of issues but also made some huge plays today, and closed out the game with authority. Monster game by Chandler Jones, who should be DPOW in the NFC. 3-3-1? Amazing.

Major future goal - to not take breaks casually, but instead treat them like "gold." We took the 14 - 0 early lead too lightly and it almost cost us the game. It meant the Giants could afford to give Barclay more touches and make their offense less one-dimensional later in the game.

 

[wit3card]

so we will draft higher and not again as #1 that is for sure.

An early East Coast win was rare in the last two decades, so anybody should take two in this season as a good start for the future.

So I hope we get a competitive game next week.

The announcers calling our game mentioned Brees will be back next week. Maybe but that really doesn't make sense because the Saints have a Bye after their game against us next Sunday. The logic that makes the most sense is to rest him against us & bring him back after the bye. 6-7 weeks was the timeframe for him to come back & I believe it's 6 weeks next Sunday.

I think if Saints win today they may give Brees another week off.

3 wins against subpar teams.

Wins are wins and we need to build on them.

We still make it harder on ourselves with all the dumb plays and penalties that will end up costing us close games to better teams.

Example: KM running out of bounds when we trying to run down the clock.

Yup. That play caught my attention.

We can only play teams that are on the schedule.

And unlike college, we have no control over it

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

And unlike college, we have no control over it

Also unlike college, there are no absolute free wins. Even the Dolphins are capable of being a tough out, as they showed today.

 

[Red on White]

As many wins in the last 15 days as we had last season

3 wins against subpar teams.

At least we aren't one of them!

 

[ajcardfan]

And today this became a real team. Murray didn't have to be the savior. We ran the ball, and made some big ass plays on defense.

Who foresaw a game like this from us before the season started? No one. No way.

There are ZERO questions about Thompson's ability to tackle. The question is and will be until he proves otherwise, can he cover? Time will tell...

This scenario was brought up 3 weeks ago after starting out 0-3-1 considering the upcoming schedule, credit to the Cardinals for getting it done. Sloppy weather created a sloppy game. I'm glad the heavier rains waited till later so we could run our offense early. Hell of a game by Chase Edmonds.

In my wildest dreams, I never thought the team could get to this point. Well done, Cards!

 

[TigToad]

Before the game, they asked if Daniel Jones or Kyler Murray would have a better year. Did anyone else catch Vick saying the Cardinals would not win 4 games, so Jones ‘ year would be better?

I feel good about 1 more win.

Yes sir, & winning them is definitely better than the alternative lol. Can you imagine this board if we were 0-6-1?

lol no thanks. 0-3-1 was a warzone

The Dog Abuser should not be on television

 

[Jake6233]

Even if the cardinals were to lose out they have already improved off of last years record after 7 games. Yeah I would say that that’s an accomplishment.

 

[Solar7]

I still want the wave of positivity to slow, but wins are wins.

There's a part of me that is is concerned that Keim's gonna get another year running this team on account of wins against losing teams, but my plan is to keep rooting for wins as we get them.

They let Ray Lewis on tv didn’t they?

 

[slanidrac16]

Can you imagine this board if we were to beat the Saints.

Of course it will have to be a dominating convincing win to satisfy everyone. Lol.

 

[PJ1]

How can anyone qualify these wins. We were last in the league last year. Any win is big. And a rookie QB to boot. I am thrilled.

 

[DumboD]

Great W for the Cards.....some keep saying we're beating bad teams, but as they used to say on "any given Sunday" the worst team in the NFL can beat the best team. All wins are hard to come by in the NFL. Most NFL players and coaches are always playing to keep their jobs. The better teams that are unprepared for any opponent can be beaten. Given our rookie QB and HC, I'd say we've already exceeded expectations and I'm optimistic about the future of the Cards.
