So I was at the game representing. Which may not be a good thing because now I’m like 3-34 all time watching them live. Just brutal. When you’re there, you do miss so, so much by not seeing the replays, etc. Phenomenal football environment in Buffalo & I was shocked at how many Cardinal fans were there. Plenty of good & some bad for sure. But a pretty clean game when you take into account that we don’t play anyone in preseason. It was a tale of 2 halves. Petzing was very good in the 1st half & not so good in the 2nd. Give the Bills some credit. I thought their D was better than expected. We got hosed on 3 legit PI calls that were never called, with 2 to Dortch on that last drive. Murray & our OL were in command of that game until Williams went down. Then the Bills took advantage of Beachum way too often. And even Paris got schooled by Rousseau, but he had 2 sacks on Beachum & one resulted in the fumble by Kyler. I thought Benson should have played a little more. He played in one series & we scored on that series. He was never seen again. Petzing has some mind boggling run calls on 3rd downs when the ball should have stayed in Murray’s hands. Inexcusable that our WR1 & WR2 had 2 catches combined. And they still almost won. Not sure who’s fault that is, but it has to be fixed & fixed soon. MHJ hadn’t played in a real game since November, so I guess that matters too. Wilson dropped a perfectly thrown pass on the sideline on that drive that was bad. He has to make that catch every time.
You think you know more than a Quarterback that actually played professionally?
Wonder if some on this board were cautioning about still frames not telling the whole story and others jumping to attack, yesterday?
Exactly why freeze frames never tell the whole story. Kyler had a great first half, but losing Williams definitely was a huge factor with how Petzing play called. 3 missed legit PI’s in the second half was too much to overcome. And Wilson’s drop on the sideline hurt a ton too.
I was at the game. It was a very windy day, with winds exceeding 20 mph all day. The Cardinals definitely game planned to run & throw short to mid range passes. Even Allen only
QBR might be a broken metric.
Would love to see the grades on our D-Line. Rousseau made me so jealous...imagine having that kind of disruptive force on our team.
Douglass awful decision in the moment doesn't make it a bad decision on the QB. Dortch would need to be spread out more to make that a more obvious decision as to what you are saying. Douglass has no reason to be jumping near the middle of the field.
The K-1 haters won’t like this.
To do everything right in the clutch? Down 31-28, we had the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead and Kyler got two balls batted down and then took a sack when someone sneezed on him.
btw: i am not buying Dan O's 100% absolution on Kyler, but it sure isnt the cut and dried bad play some are pushing. Next, I want to see the all 22 of the final play to see if there was a better option there
Or he could have, you know, not bailed and hit the guy running wide open who is directly in his sight line. This was a bad miss by KM and exactly one of his bad habits that has plagued him his entire career.
Brutally bad. Just brutally bad. Some of the blame goes to Petzing, but plenty goes to KM.
