Chargers at Cardinals MNF gameday thread 10-21-24

[BritCard]

I'm very happy for the win. I'm glad I did not watch the game, I think it might have been the worst NFL highlight video I've ever seen. The only Kyler passes it contained were the big runs by Conner and most of it was defensive highlights. Dire.

Was like watching a drunk bum beat up an even more drunk bum with one arm.

On the plus side Melton led the team in tackles, which suggests he played a lot more (I assume SMB went out early). Saw he had at least one PBU too. Hopefully this seems him permanently start.

Defender over the back on MHJ.

The officials allowed tight coverage all night as if they needed a quick game.

Several no brainer calls beginning with McBride’s first target. After that play our receivers were in trouble.

I went to bed during halftime. Although we were up 7-6 the game was a grinder.

It was a good thing most football fans didn’t have viewing access

Kinda a glass half empty person huh??? Not that you won't be proven right in your assessment but you never can tell... I kinda don't think it helped this team in any way shape or form when you have the number 4 pick in the draft and a bunch of picks because you're rebuilding and the NFL decides to schedule 5 of your first 6 games against playoff teams ( Good luck rookies lol.) that made the playoffs for the past 2 seasons.. The NY Giants are 2-5 ( with and easier first 6 weeks ) than the Cardinals and they picked 6th, don't even mention the Seahawks first 6 games smh, take a look at their schedule. They should be undefeated even after week 7.

Cardinals have had the 2nd toughest schedule to date

QB's and WR's are a symbiotic relationship. While MHJ hasn't lit the world on fire it's clear that Kyler and this offence is holding him back.

This is evidenced in the one game where Kyler played well as a passer and the offense was on fire, and he had 2 TD's and 100+ yards. It's not MHJ limiting Kyler, it's Kyler limiting MHJ. Limiting the whole passing offense TBH.

Clear maybe to you. Not to many of the rest of us. I see the opposite on MHJ

I really don't think you can objectively say this. I see a body catching WR, who is playing at a slow game speed, dropping very catchable balls, and rarely getting separation from DBs. What I also see is a combo not on the same page, and a bunch of couch jockeys trying to convince each other that their bias represents the correct answer.

Reality is, we don't know squat, but regardless of of which opinion is correct, it sure is disappointing.

The whole idea is to find a way to win

This is what good teams do

This team usually finds new ways to lose

Last night we found a way to win when the Chargers gave the opportunity

James Conner dominates for Arizona Cardinals as they beat Los Angeles Chargers on "Monday Night Football," 17-15

Ok, this is probably the best response yet. Not enough people understand what the Cardinals are trying to do. I listened again to a few more interviews last night. Cardinal coaches & players alike are saying again that they are PROCESS driven and NOT results driven. Love it or hate it, that’s how they’re attempting to build this thing. Part of that process is taking what the defense gives you. The Chargers play that annoying shell defense, so the Cardinals emphasized the run game & short passes. MHJ was being double teamed all night, so they went elsewhere. Day by day, week by week, they are pushing PROCESS. When even 2nd string DL are talking about process, believe what they say they are doing. The only players on the offense that are good enough to take any advantage of this process are Kyler, Conner, and McBride. Did Zay Jones even play last night? We need contributions from more people to force defenses to adjust to us instead of us adjusting to them. Bidwill wants SUSTAINED SUCCESS & this is what MOJG believe is the path to it. Until we have more talent on BOTH sides of the ball, this isn’t ever going to look pretty. If not for the 2 ugly losses, I think that most of us would be happy with 3-4 based on the difficulty of schedule we’ve faced.
