Cardinals signed G Matthew Jones to the practice squad today. Teammate of Paris Johnson Jr. at Ohio State. He was with the Dolphins in training camp last summer as an undrafted free agent and was waived Aug. 27. Hasn't been on anyone's roster or practice squad since.

Injury Report: Week 17 vs Rams

 

[DVontel]

Honestly, I wanna win for 2 reasons:

We haven’t swept the Rams since 2014. Good Lord.

I trust Seattle to not doing anything the postseason more than LA, though Seattle would still have to beat LA.

 

[BritCard]

I'm surprised the line is only +7.

Cards on a 1-4 run, lost by 10 and 12 to the Seahawks and lost by 6 to the freaking Panthers. We're on 2nd string LT, 3rd string RT and 2nd string RG. And Kyler already had one of the worst passer ratings in the league over the last 5 weeks before he lost his tackles.

Both 1st and 2nd string RBs are not 100% too, and we're on the road.

If the line was +14 I'd fancy it.

We won the first game 41-10. Much has changed since then. The score could be inversed. We have lost 4 of the last five, and the Rams have won 4 in a row. It's hard to believe they are in the middle of the playoff scenario after starting 1-4.

Anyone thinking upset?

There's Hertz and there's not exactly. No, I'm not thinking upset. Rams have everything to play for, Cards can possibly improve draft position by losing. So, it's a win (Rams) lose (Cards) situation. Kyler will have his normal deer in the headlights look, will panic, and add a couple of INTs to his stats.

There's no doubt that's what the NFL wants, since it sets up an NFC West Championship SNF matchup in the last week of the season, also.

Honestly, I hope Kyler is an abject disaster. This team needs to move on from him and more mid-performances will only give Mikey the opportunity to somewhat plausibly give Kyler one more pointless season.

A complete embarrassment on national TV to round out yet another Kyler Collapse will put a lot of heat on them to finally call this a failed experiment.

Eh… who am I kidding.

The only ones who get embarrassed are us longtime fans.
The team as been embarrassed many times on national tv and Mikey couldn’t care less as long as the money rolls in.

My bold prediction is Murray plays better to give us false hope and McBride gets his a first receiving TD.

McBride will get 2 TDs and MHJ will get one. Murray will also have a rushing TD.

That's bold man

I feel like you've said this the past few weeks.

 

[WisconsinCard]

I feel like you've said this the past few weeks.

I have not. I rarely make predictions of any sort.

 

[BirdGangThing]

we have to wait all day to get our ass kicked tomorrow - it'll be getting dark by the time it starts getting dark

 

[kerouac9]

I have not. I rarely make predictions of any sort.

You're right. It feels like SOMEONE has said this each of the past few weeks.

Trey McBride getting 1000+ yards receiving and scoring zero TDs would be the perfect synecdoche for this season.

Meh….i would rather lose both games and get a stud pass rusher…seen a mock today that had us taking kelvin banks over mykell Williams and we go with jt the Ohio state pass rusher in the second…

Weird that the team released that now, rather than a month ago!

 

[slanidrac16]

We will get crushed….

 

[WisconsinCard]

We will get crushed….

No doubt in my mind that you are correct. I'm just interested to see if the guys pack it in or play tough.

 

[Passepartout]

Hope you all now win for pride. As really need to get on Puka and Cooper Kupp. Pressure Stafford and RB Kyren Williams. Will be very much huge keys in the game if you are to win.

 

[FB94]

No pressure on KM now so he will probably light it up next two games.

 

[JosiahLee]

Just like Carolina felt like the kind of game this team would lose, this now meaningless game feels like the kind of game the Cardinals will win. Seriously.
