Cardinals at Broncos PS gameday thread 8-25-24

[MadCardDisease]

I’m waiting to see if Carter plays in the 2nd half.

I doubt it. It will be all Jones and Hall

Tune with a batted pass. He's obviously too short to be a QB.

At least they are making cuts easy for the coaches.

I was pretty optimistic going into this season, but witnessing yet another PS debacle, I have so many concerns..

1. No #2 QB. Tune is awful. Ridder is worse and doesn't even belong on anybody's roster. How can you go into the season without a capable #2?

2. No preseason reps for the starters? I don't understand this logic AT ALL. Niners played everybody for the entire first half against the Raiders. They look ready. I'm afraid to think what the Cards' first quarter against Buffalo is going to look like - on both sides of the ball. Rust, lack of timing, confusion. But I'm sure it will all come together - in the 2nd half when the game is already lost. Or maybe the 2nd or 3rd week.

3. Zero pass rush. Yeah this is the backups & scrubs, but that's what they're facing! Should at least be able to hold their own, no? Nope. Zero pressure.

4. Defense in general looks awful. Again, it's backups & scrubs, but that's all they're facing, and they are utterly unimpressive in every phase of the game.

5. O-line - same complaints as above. Hopefully the starters are much better and nobody goes down - because if any of these ham & eggers we're seeing now have to step in, BIG trouble.

I was looking for 7-8 wins this year, now I fear that's a pipe dream, and 3-4 may be more realistic. Am I all wet?

And just when they put a decent-looking drive together - fumble inside the 5. Fuuuuuuuuccccc

No way this team has less wins than last year, we had a DL consisting of guys from the street & won 4 games. This years team has more talent, not as much on the DL as I would like but more than last year. We're winning 8-9 games & will be in the playoff hunt.

 

[CardNots]

I can see Weaver making the 53 roster.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Tune almost picked off throwing into coverage

Bad sign for him if he does.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Tune to Whiteheart to the 32

FG is good from 50

 

[Brak]

I don’t think Tune is awful and I can’t argue other comments you made

I'm gonna try to stay optimistic. Still 0-0.

I don't know about 4 wins but 5 is certainly a realistic call. Those first 8 games maybe two wins. By the time we get to that last nine we’ll be a beat up team maybe 4 of 9 wins. 6-7 wins picking top ten is in the cards…

I think 9 wins is the ceiling, sadly 6 or 7 is more likely.

I want to believe, but a lot of it is unidentified.

Bring in Zach Wilson if he's cut...or available by trade.

Was thinking the same. Not impressed with our backups. Zach Wilson looks like a keeper as a backup and better than what we’ve got. For us, it might be difficult to judge Tune because supporting cast is putrid.

Ridder has a far better track record then him, and I take a lot more stock in regular season performances then 2 preseason games.

 

[ajcardfan]

I think one positive of this game, and the entire preseason, is that Buffalo is not worried about us.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Poor Desmond going to have to make a case playing with trash.

 

[Garthshort]

Half time, so far so good. Fingers crossed.

 

[cardsfanmd]

I really hope preseason is meaningless for us this year, because there has been very little to be happy about.

The good news is that it’s meaningless for every team every year.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Can we hold them here?

Yes and it's 4th down

 

[Mainstreet]

Almost a fumble recovery.

 

[MadCardDisease]

With DJ out Luketa actually has a shot at making the team.
