Too soon.

I already believed we would fire everyone. I’m just waiting on these last three losses.

I will believe it when I see it. I am currently trying to figure out if I will watch the Wilks led Cardinals in 2019 on anything other than DVR.

If Wilks is still here next year that will tell us a lot about this organization.

Wilks is a leader in much the same way General Custer was.

1. He refused to listen to others, figuring his judgment was superior. Custer was ordered to hold off on any attack and to wait for reinforcements that were being led by Brig. Gen. Alfred Terry, but impatience got the better of him and Custer foolishly decided to act. Waiting would have been more sensible, because Gen. Terry and his troops arrived on June 26.
2. He was arrogant. Custer was guilty of overconfident in his own talents and guilty of hubris, just like so many modern executives. He grossly underestimated the number of Indians facing him, pooh-poohed their abilities, and failed to understand the many advantages the competition had. Here’s one big one: While Custer’s troops were generally armed with single-shot rifles, the Indians had a number of repeating rifles that made their superior numbers even more so. Less hubris and ego might have helped Custer have a healthier respect of what he was facing.
3. He wasn’t entirely focused on the job at hand. Custer’s focus wasn’t on fighting and defeating the Indians who were itching to fight him at the Little Bighorn. His misguided concern was that he needed to trap them and prevent their escape. That’s why he split his forces into three parts, diluting his overall strength. The other two units of the 7th Cavalry, led by Capt. Frederick Benteen and Maj. Marcus Reno, survived a fierce two-day fight that ended when Terry’s reinforcements arrived.
4. He was outmanaged. Custer was facing wily Indian leader Sitting Bull, who lured him into a fight on his timetable, on a field of his choosing, and with a much larger (and superior) force. In addition, Sitting Bull delegated well. He trusted in Crazy Horse, his able field lieutenant, who executed the battle plan perfectly.
5. He had terribly bad luck. It’s often said that luck is when preparation and opportunity meet, and that was certainly true for Sitting Bull and his forces at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. The other side of that coin is that Custer had the terrible misfortune of deciding to fight what is still considered to be the largest force of Indian warriors ever assembled in North America, and he did it with an undersized and outgunned cavalry unit that he split into three parts.

We had the answer to that before they came here...... Last year in St. Louis, those few in attendance wore grocery sacks over their heads so not to be recognized on TV. A few good years doesn't make up for all of the losing seasons the fans have had to endure.

You have a WINNER in TOWN!!

You know this is part of the intrigue, the drama that is the NFL.

He's not getting fired, I'd be shocked if he did.

I have groveled my way to "free" Sunday ticket for almost a decade...If Wilks is retained for next year, I won't even waste the hour or two on the phone with DTV.

That's how how bad this team is... I'm watching for "free" and I still feel ripped off.
Guess Pops was right, you get what you pay for.

I'll be here next year and the year after that, just like the rest of you. We can't quit its a disease, and I infected my whole family. I don't know, I must be crazy because I am proud to be a Cards fan, nobody will ever call me a band wagoner, or a fair weather fan, just like the rest of you. We're all going down with the ship...

+1. I get excited for the start of every game regardless of record. Can't miss a kick off. I remember the SDS days when I couldn't go to home games & it was blacked out. I would listen to the whole game on the radio in my garage yelling & cheering. Neighbors thought I was crazy.

I’m impressed, in a down year intrigue sets in. In an up year you ride the horse. This is the NFL, boring it is not.

I was being sarcastic sorry.

 

[Zeno]

The Cardinals have scored 3 3rd quarter TDs all season. To me that is a sign of the team not making any adjustments at halftime and that is all coaching. I really hope ownership is paying attention.

1) Custer was actually never told to wait and why there are no orders other than hearsay on the matter after the military needed a scapegoat for the defeat which Grant gladly went along with since Custer testified against his brother in the Belknap affair. Crook (the guy in charge of one of the three groups which Custer was part of, to find the Indians and fight) got his arse handed to him at the Rosebud, and Terry's infantry was hardly going to turn the tide. No person with any realistic understanding of Plains warfare would think they would join up and the Indians would wait for them, a matter of fact the Indians where in the process of moving the village the day Custer attacked (which he actually did not want to and wanted to wait till the next morning but thought he had been discovered and then felt he had no choice)

2) Misjudged the number but like at the Washita battle, he felt if he could attain hostages in the women and children he could force the battle to a quick closure. Custer's men did not have repeaters but it was not the repeaters but the bow and arrows which dismantled him on the battlefield in a fight for survival, which a majority of the Indians where still armed with. Custer was on a hill and the Indians simply shot arrows over the gulches they where hiding behind and after half an hour of that, not many guys where left that did not get hit by an arcing arrow. Going back to numbers, look up the Battle of Adobe Walls, which clearly shows Native Americans never could take advantage of superior numbers when lesser numbers opposing them had adequate protection (see drunk Major Reno who opted to flee the safety of the trees by the river in a mad dash loosing more than half his men which also then freed the Indians to focus on Custer)

3) He split his forces into three to divert the Indian's attention and surprise them and the Indians did actually say they where surprised he attacked during the day and did not expect him and most of the braves where still asleep when Reno charged the village, after they were celebrating the night before the defeat of Crook by Crazy Horse. Between was sent left to make sure there where not more Indians as was the case at the Washita battle Custer fought which almost was a disaster when the additional Indians where made aware. Then for icing on the cake, Between did not go to Custer's aid when Custer specifically sent him a message to and bring additional ammo but Between had a grudge against Custer, something called jealousy for a younger commander who had accomplished more than him... and every US military guy involved in that campaign thought the Indians would try to escape because that is what they always did to that point

4) Sitting Bull did not do jack crap other than predict the village would be attacked and the Indians would win. Matter of fact no Indian had a battle plan of any kind on the onset of the battle and most Indians usually never did since warriors fought as individuals. Crazy Horse led a responsive attack which was spear headed by a small number of young braves who made a suicide charge to break Custer's Last Stand line. It was no more than get your bow and gun and run to the sound of battle. Sitting Bull was a civil chief that day and was in charge of directing the women and children to safety. Hence, there was no battle plan by the Indians at all that day and the leaders who partook in the battle were Crazy Horse, but also Gall, Two Moons and Rain In The Face but more for moral inspiration since again there was no battle plan

5) You could say Custer did have bad luck that day, which would be the last thing at that time anyone could have though since he was always lucky and the phrase "Custer Luck" was a positive before that fateful day. Some may say he was arrogant but most cavalry generals are because you have to be to charge into an enemy. Most cavalry generals tended to be a little high strung and can you blame them. Custer had 11 horses shot from under him during the Civil War, I think that would cause anyone to have a little bit of confidence after surviving that

Custer was no genius, was no saint but also was no idiot or evil individual. In other words, we could only have hoped Wilks was half as good as Custer or Crazy Horse. People need to stop using historical references when half of what we feel about history now comes from fictional historical films like I don't know... "Little Big Man",which was more as a metaphor for the Vietnam War and not historical accuracy of Plains warfare history which for that I suggest people read "Son of the Morning Star"

If Custer was our coach, then we would have a guy more like Marc Trestman and not Wilks
