Broncos at Cardinals PS gameday thread 8-11-23

[ajcardfan]

Best thing is all those Bronco fans going home disappointed. That was an underwhelming performance by their team. You can't say they didn't try to win with how long Payton played his ones.

Until about 5 mins to go in the first half. And Russell Wilson still looks like crap.

 

[PACardsFan]

I only remember Banks down for a bit but he got up.

And he played later on.

 

[The6]

Preseason or not. Nice W

 

[ajcardfan]

For a bunch of no names, you gotta say the dline played their asses off and overachieved. Even the 2nd team was respectable against Denver's starting online.

I don’t understand all the talk about the uniforms. They’re just all red. You can’t even see the silver outline on the white numbers. Zzzzzzzzz…

The helmets aren’t working, but the unis are pretty well done. In my humble, professional, and always correct opinion.

Oxford comma biotches.

Tomorrow’s wordle is…. Nugget. FYI.

 

[SECTION 11]

The Broncos are screwed. Wait till Payton starts screaming at everyone (because it’s their fault after all) and loses this team. Combine that with a week 13 quarterback change for… some made up reason, and this group if going to go off the rails. And I think it’s hilarious.

I know it's preseason but that game was pretty great.

Sorry it’s actually Nougat. My bad.

Rdub hasn't been good since 2020 (and even then he didn't look as good as his stats). I really can't believe Payton chose him over Murray. Whatever questions you have about Murray, you know he isn't a has-been.

Last year it was TDs vs Bathrooms, I thought I heard there was another one to judge against this year, but didn't catch it.

Preseason and all, but I think Payton's going to find out real quick.

It took multiple drives against the Cards backups on defense for the Denver starters to finally score.

The bathroom guy has already started.

The bathroom guy has already started.

So it's bathrooms again or something else?

 

[Billy Bob]

Oh man, I didn't realize how much I needed that. It's my birthday weekend. I've been in a sad place waiting for this surgery. **** yeah.

What a HUGE culture reset for this team. I'm so excited now.

Happy Birthday

Imma flipsyde of 11. Dig the larger sparkle decals. Can’t tell any difference with silver face masks. Uniforms are boring.

Maybe the issues with the Broncos weren't all because of Nathaniel Hackett after all...

 

[Garthshort]

JG said about this game-"We want to compete".

I say-"Mission accomplished." I also say that for a PS game it was pretty good to watch. I'm looking forward to whom the experts thought played well.

When was the last time you saw a preseason game played with such intensity by the Cardinals? Or when all phases, offense, defense and special teams worked together in a coordinated effort to make an entertaining football game that was fun to watch? The fact that they had the moxie to come back and win the game in the final seconds was completely unusual for a Cardinal team these last few years. Preseason game; yes, but an eye-opening experience for those of us who have followed this team since the Stone Age. My fervent hope is that these Cardinals have finally caught "the tiger by the tail" and ride him to a successful decade of football.

To tag onto that…Murray and everyone else, who didn’t play last night, were completely engaged on the sideline. JG has their attention and they are listening.

If Tune can get more comfortable with his out pattern throws we might have something in him

How many did he overthrow this game?

Nice to see the team play hard and cut down on penalties

Dline was a surprise and played hard

Oline run blocking not getting much push

Beating the Broncos who played their offensive starters for a half is icing on the cake

He got our attention also

So far walking the talk

Cardinals: No one knew what to expect from the Cardinals' defense heading into Friday night, but it put a unit on display that may exceed expectations this season. Yes, it's the first preseason game but the way the front seven got pressure on Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson isn't likely to subside going forward. Defensive lineman L.J. Collier had a batted pass, linebacker Dennis Gardeck sacked Wilson, and the Cardinals' starting defense had three quarterback hurries, including one on the play right after Gardeck's sack, all before the second unit took the field. And, at one point, outside linebacker Zaven Collins, who made a position switch this offseason, dropped a massive hit in the first quarter. The depth the second team showed gives hope that this Cardinals' defense could help anchor this team while Kyler Murray works to return. -- Josh Weinfuss

Next game: vs. Chiefs (8 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 19)

Broncos: The Broncos have continued to see depth issues appear during training camp and they crept up in their preseason opener Friday night. The projected regulars exited the game in the second quarter with the Broncos leading 10-0 and in control. What followed were difficulties from the reserves, including a blocked field goal by the Cardinals, four penalties by reserve offensive linemen and a wobbly outing from backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham (5-of-15 passing with an interception). Defensive lineman Elijah Garcia (two sacks), safety Delarrin Turner-Yell and rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin were notable exceptions among the reserves -- McLaughlin scored a 4-yard touchdown with 1:30 to play -- but overall what has been one of the team's biggest concerns coming into training camp is still just that. -- Jeff Legwold
