BASH !!! :hammer: Arians can go anytime... Amos and Bettcher HAVE TO GO !!
C'mon. EIGHT SACKS !! And without Gabbert there would have been more, many more. An dyes, I blame Arians for ALL of it... who is missing on this o-line ? Hump... couple good games, could revert to just as bad... Iupati ? He sucks as bad as Valdheer these days... so, those 2 would save the dumpster fire our O-Line is ? Whose responsibility is that ? Yeah, yeah, Keim screwed the pooch, so why didn't Arians mention back in the spring that we had a bunch of underperforming has-beens on the O-line ? Because he has no clue !! None !!! (I do admit I was happy to see him challenge the fake punt ball placement, that may have been the smartest action he has taken all year.)

I don't think I have ever seen a coach disparage his team. No coach will do that..... Hate on Arians all you want but be real.....

Nothing I saw yesterday that changed my mind. BA's time is done. He may come back for one more but I don't think next year will be any better, for the reasons stated ad nauseum by the "Arians bashers".

I agree he may be the best coach in Cardinal history, or at least ARIZONA Cardinal history but that doesn't mean that his time hasn't run its course.

Is Mike McCarthy all of a sudden a garbage coach because he's losing games or barely getting by Cleveland in OT? What's the similarity? Hmmmm........

Arians isnt perfect, but IMO he is darn good

the offense is playing: a QB on his third team and a career 72 QB rating, a RB who is playing with a cracked rib or two, two guards who were unemployed in September of this year, and, a back up right tackle.

Other than Fitz, is there another player on this offense who you think would challenge for a starting job on any of the other playoff contention teams?

BA is making some changes. Good half-time adjustments versus the Titans. He's now deferring the kickoffs. He resisted the temptation to go for it on 4th and 1 1/2. He made good challenges. He's showing patience. He had much less to work with on offense than Mike Mularkey and yet he out-coached him. BA deserves a game ball for this win.

How do we know who won the "flip"?

Well, he is one reason why Rodgers doesn’t have more than 1 ring right now.

I like Bruce, but if he wants to return in 2018, he has to:

  1. Let Amos Jones walk (which is going to happen)
  2. Demote or fire Bettcher
  3. Convince Palmer to stay and develop the QBoF (there's no reason for him to return without Palmer, TBH)
  4. Show some of that fire we saw in 2015 and before
  5. Have a clean bill of health (for his own well-being, first and foremost)

Ok. I'm defense of my dislike for how Arians coaches. We have beaten mediocre teams at best. And have been blitzed by good teams. Indy and San Fran twice in our 3 wins. The Jacksonville and Tennessee wins look good. We should have won last week. Houston is also a scrappy team that we let throw so over us. My assumption is he will be back next year and if we are healthy lets see what happens.

Also did anyone see the article on Fitz. They asked him about catching Owen's. He said man that woukd mean playing 1 more year. I dont know...I dont know. I thiught he was signed for next year?

He has to satisfy 3 people and not one is a ticket buyer:

1. His wife
2. Keim
3. M. Bidwill

Lol. Dude, do you take things people say so literally because you’re a robot or because you just like to feel superior when you state the obvious? I’m pretty sure TJ is aware that his opinion won’t decide Arians’ fate and was just stating the things he’d like to see Arians do to come back.

And TJ can address that should he choose.

As for you, quit trolling me and stick to your own repeated, self-evident ad nausea views and I'll manage mine.

You have to admit is there really any fan/ticket buyer that thinks a coaching change will be ran by them? I just wish Kurt would have checked with me before deciding on retirement. Next you are going to tell me when I say "we" need to win next week I have nothing to do with it I'm not on the team.

You and Cheese on the same side. Too funny!

I love Arians and what he’s done for the Cardinals. I agree he’s been the best coach for the team during my almost 50 years of being a fan. The only one in his league during that time would be Don Coryell. But it appears his time is drawing closer to an end, hopefully by retirement and not firing. I used to get the sense he’s training his replacement. For a couple years I thought that was Todd Bowles.. That would have been great. But now I fear it may be Harold Goodwin. Even though he’s listed as OC, he still doesn’t call the plays. I don’t know how the players feel about him, but to me he’s kind of “meh.”
