Great win

Lots of teaching moments even in the win

Ellington injury could hurt, but we have depth.

JJ Nelson shouldn't be on the field as a wide receiver
I think you hit on one of the big learning lessons: JJ cannot play WR, he gets re-routed easily and frankly doesn't fight for the ball.

Should have started Carson over Peyton in fantasy. Who knew?
I saw some of that game on a separate TV and Peyton arm looks shot. First game of the year and he had no spin or velocity and threw up floaters.

Hope Bettcher is learning from today's game
They didn't play bad IMO, but he needs to improve on moving personnel in and out. That being said, the Saints sub packages in as much or more than anyone we will see all year.

Dude, even 5-10 yard outs looked painful...Looked like it took everything he had to make those throws.

If the Cards can score 30 or more points a game this season will be a roaring success.

Totally agree. He tried to throw a short 10 yard out, which is probably 20 total yards when throwing forward and toward the sideline, and with no pressure he tossed up a total duck. He did that on several plays. I believe his arm is done. Never would have thought that but the tape doesn't lie.

On one of the morning shows today, they talked about how they gave Manning mandatory days off in training camp, just so they could use Osweiler with the 1st team offense and see what he has...
