Cardinals at Bills gameday thread 9-8-24

[BullheadCardFan]

I'm beginning to think the coaching may be worse problem than the players.

Offense and defense were not making adjustments and seemed out of key the entire 2nd half

 

[Proximo]

Defense gave up 34 points to the Bills with no #1 WR.

Gonna be a longggg year. Whew.

Yeah that was my takeaway - our defense is worse than I expected, it was actually really bad.

 

[Mainstreet]

So playing and getting your timing down in PS games is looming large between KM and MHJ

No timing at all today

That was a coaching decision.

Defense gave up 34 points to the Bills with no #1 WR.

Gonna be a longggg year. Whew.

Umm the Bills are good have been for awhile in case yo just started watching football lol. Anyone who had this marked as an opening win was lying to themselves!

 

[iLLmatiC]

Do Kyler cant see MHJ or something? ]

No designed plays for MHJ like there was for HOp??

Something isnt right man.

I mean he’s like 4’11

Yeah, but the win was there for the taking.

That was a coaching decision.

So another mark on the coaching staff along with poor play calling and not making adjustments

 

[602 Native]

Man I hope this is a one off for Marvin. Finally wide open deep but Kyler is scrambling and doesn't see him.

And all the key plays late went to Dortch or McBride

Strange that K1 would go to the guys that have been dependable all game.

 

[Shane]

Defense gave up 34 points to the Bills with no #1 WR.

Gonna be a longggg year. Whew.

And we still should’ve won smh

 

[Proximo]

Murray never even looked MHJ way the entire last drive. That has to change quickly. Dortch played a really good game, but he can't be our #1 WR.

Overall I can't be mad. We played way better than I expected, with no real contribution from MHJ or McBride.

Our running game could easily be TOP 5 in the NFL if we improve on what we saw today.

Played worse than I expected.

The oline looked better than I expected, but that was about my only positive.

 

[DVontel]

James Conner getting as many run plays as he did has to stop. That really made me mad more than anything today.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Yeah, but the win was there for the taking.

It was and we didn't look like we wanted it at times

If that ******* offensive coordinator stops calling stretch plays with a 30 year old RB that's the slowest guy in the room.

 

[FB94]

Where was our #1 pick all game

Especially on the last play?

Apparently our #1 pick never got on the plane

 

[Shaggy]

2 horrible play calls in crucial moments. Let's run it when we need 7 yards...wow.

 

[Gambler]

Kyler lost the game missing a wide open MHJ .

To be fair, he was busy back there.

 

[Buckybird]

It sucked we once again threw up a 50/50 ball to an undersized WR, for whatever reason.

Bottom line is the Cards lost today because of defensive coaching!!! Shame on you JG & Rollis. Allen single handedly beat you because you refused to play a 5 man front, didn’t spy him, continually pulling out Mack Wilson for Pappoe & played too much soft zone in crucial situations. Shame on you both.

 

[blindseyed]

Glad we got some work in a few preseason series to get some timing lol

 

[nashman]

Yeah, but the win was there for the taking.

Not saying it wasn’t but clears PIs ignored in favor of home team complete joke! And crap second half play calling can’t wait till last series of the game to get aggressive and start throwing the ball!

 

[DaHilg]

Once Murray is figured out this offense just looks bad

Or once this playcalling is figured this offense looks bad… plod, plod, dink. Plod, plod, dink. Plod, plod, plod. 4th down.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Strange that K1 would go to the guys that have been dependable all game.

Then why did we draft MHJ in the first round?

 

[DVontel]

Jonah getting injured changed this game.

 

[Proximo]

Well, next 2 weeks are only tougher, so I guess we should just forfeit now

 

[Red Bird]

Played hard and had a chance to win it at the end. This is about what I expected tbh. The passing game was underwhelming but willing to see how we look without windy conditions.

 

[BritCard]

If you said we would go to the Bills and have a chance to drive to win the game down 6 in Q4 I'd snatch your hand off.

No game of football is perfect. No team stops every QB run or gets off the field every 3rd down. The game probably comes down to a few moment.

Zaven's sack being ruled a foul. Letting them get that long 3rd down to James cook. Not getting PI calls at the end. Kyler missing MHJ wide open.

I'd argue they looked rusty in crucial spots and probably comes down to most players not getting a competitive snap in preseason.

But lots here to be positive about. We scored 30 on the road at a SB contender.
