This is kind of a big one gents

Yeah… this’ll tell us a good deal of where this team really is.

This is kind of a big one gents

Big Protect the Nest moment, also. Tons of midwest transplants here, and Lions fans are feeling themselves after the past 20 months or so.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

We haven't beaten the Lions in 9 years.

We hadn't beat the Rams on our home field in like 9 years either. Maybe it's destiny that we win this game.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Yeah I still have real concerns about the Cardinals Defense. If they can look just average against the Lions, I will feel a lot better about the Cardinals shot at a playoff spot this season. I need to see how the Cardinals front 7 holds up at home against a solid OL and good offense.

Get pressure on Goff we win...hopefully Nick comes up with a good blitz scheme this week

 

[Crimson Warrior]

The Lions OL has also been great with pass blocking. They have the lowest sack percentage this year. Goff is currently only getting sacked 2.35% of the time he drops back.

And he's still been pretty terrible over the first two games! He has to be licking his chops though in anticipation of a get-right game against our no-name defense!

I hope Budda-and-the-Miracles have something for him on Sunday!

 

[Carolinacacti]

give me some more highlights and out score them.

 

[Redsz]

We haven't beaten the Lions in 9 years.

So we are due

 

[Chris_Sanders]

So we are due

Hopefully

imagine: Cards vs Lions one of the best NFC matchups this week

dont you know it. Every Lions fan within the greater SW has had this game on their calendar

 

[oaken1]

Hell, the Lions used to beat us when they stank.
It would be in line with Cardinal history for us to flip the script on them when they are good.
Like we did with Philly last year...this team regularly comes out of the blue and beats up some team they got no business competing against.
aint no other teams on the schedule that fit the description.

The Arizona Cardinals have signed S Jason Taylor II to the practice squad and released OL Marquis Hayes.

Advanced metrics are more predictive than win-loss records. Here is where the Cardinals rank thus far, based on an admittedly small sample.
EPA per play: 5th in NFL
Point differential: 5th in NFL
Team DVOA: 7th in NFL

What a weird chart. Seems like the axis are backwards. Difficult to read.

For me, change difficult to impossible.

Pretty good.

We haven't beaten the Lions in 9 years.

Hadn't beaten the Rams in AZ in 9 years, so I'm sensing a redemption arc.

 

[Hoodhero]

Interesting stat I heard. Cardinals have 3 td's out of 13 personnel while rest of league combined has only 1

The Tip Reiman pick silently putting in work. I really love that we got Higgins off of waivers.

 

[SunsTzu]

Yeah, I saw Nate Tice say this, he also mentioned that most of the explosive plays the Cards have so far are from multiple tight end sets.. Makes a lot of sense why they drafted Reiman higher than people thought they should.

 

[Stout]

Despite the avalanche of “Darksiders love to be miserable” crap thrown at me and others over the years, I only need the slightest bit of success to become optimistic. I just can’t be a blind faith fan for a franchise that’s consistently pissed on our fan base’s head while telling us it’s raining.

Yep, same.

 

[Red on White]

Will this game get national attention? Or are we largely flying under the radar?
