Cardinals at Rams gameday thread 12-28-24

[TJ]

Had timeouts. Should have run Carter again. Did not need to let K1 toss an interception.

Carter was gashing them in the last drive.

 

[Buckybird]

Marv was the right read on that one! Wide open on cross route in the middle of the end zone.

Wasted opportunities by defense, special teams & offensively. Ugh

Should’ve won

 

[slanidrac16]

Let’s not lose the fact, 9 points.
Again the defense did everything possible to win this game.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Not many teams can dominate TOP, go for 400 yards and only rack up 9 points. Go Cards!

 

[BullheadCardFan]

1-5 in the last 6 games

Late session melt down, again

6-4 to 7-9

Big oof

 

[FB94]

The Washington Generals of the NFL

Perfect analogy

I can’t tell you how many times that Kyler has missed MHJ wide open. Best example is Week 1 on the last drive against the Bills.

Always have been unfortunately

 

[D-Dogg]

Why we didn't run the ball there with 2 TO in the pocket is wild. Or at least PA. Drew Petzing is freaking insane, just an absolutely mind boggling playcaller.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Is what it is Kyler drove them down with some great throws and I one has an issue. McBride gets interfered with and ball bounces of his head for a freak int and boom it’s all your fault Kyler! The OC who likes to run run run doesn’t run in the obvious situation to run and a freak int happens lol this team is genius in the art of losing in new ways it’s just laughable…

the coaches and front office see the film and know the game better than any of us. If he’s back it’ll be because they see positives somewhere.

To me he’s good enough to keep us right here around the fringe of the playoffs. But that’s about it short of MO somehow drafting an All Star team around him.

"Our QB makes 50mil, surely he can deliver a win"

 

[D-Dogg]

No reason to throw it so hard

I cant get down with this take.

 

[ajcardfan]

At worst you make them burn their last timeout.

I am surprised we didn't run. But you can't say the play wasn't there. It was, and woulda coulda shoulda been a TD.

Life as a Cardinals fan. I saw only the last minute, never expected us to even have a chance. It's not that we lose as much as how we lose.

 

[Buckybird]

He’s dropped way too many as well so I won’t even go there. He’s probably dropped more this season than Larry Legend had in his entire career

 

[Jetstream Green]

I will never grasp the NFL rules on catches. I get that the ball didn't move much but that's because the point of the ball is hitting the ground, it can't move unless he just drops it. But there's no question that it touching the ground contributed to the catch.

They say it can touch the ground if it does not move, but when it touched that ground it did move if just bit, it moves. The ball hits the ground it is going to move if just a tad. So basically the rule should state that if one uses the ground to secure a catch, it is a catch lol

This. No reason not to run.

 

[cardcrazy]

I have absolutely no confidence in this team!
1st & goal at the 5
42 seconds & 2 timeouts.There was a voice saying
“They can’t pull this off!”

 

[ajcardfan]

Let’s not lose the fact, 9 points.

No they didn't. Seattle just won a game 6-3. Why can't we win a 9-6 game?

 

[BigDavis75]

Defense played really well, I’m excited to see where this unit goes.

 

[D-Dogg]

"Our QB makes 50mil, surely he can deliver a win"

Nah, I am not putting that play on Kyler. I'm putting that playcall on Petzing.

Please Kyler, don't throw a laser into the end zone to the best pass catcher on your team is not a take I can get down with. That was just a fluke ass play. Not the bone head poo he's done the last few weeks.

Let’s be honest with 37 seconds and a timeout the Rams likely drive it down and kick the game-tying field goal. Hence why making them burn their last timeout was a necessity especially on 1st down.

 

[gimpy]

Absolutely. I thought we were going to get steamrolled today.
Questioned why we didn’t kick the fg in the first quarter.
Questioned why we didn’t go for the first down instead of making it 13-9.

Is that the play where Kyler threw it away instead of trying to run for the first down, maybe cutting the yards needed for a first down, so they could go for it on fourth down?

 

[legend]

Yeah . . I thought this was good game. Pass boinked off his helmet . . that’s football.

 

[Harry]

No reason to throw it so hard

Or so high. Good ball placement and ball doesn’t ricochet into the air

 

[The6]

I cant get down with this take.

If he would of thrown it chest high probably would of been a better outcome
