Gameday thread Titans at Cardinals 12-10-17

[BullheadCardFan]

Once again the questions

Will the Cardinals start out slow and unprepared?

Will Oline open holes for the running game?

Will BG cut down on mental errors and bad throws?

Will the WRs catch the balls thrown to them?

Will the D stop the run?

Will the secondary play loose zone and leave wide open players?

Will ST's be an asset or cause us to lose field position?

Will poor coaching cost us critical yards?

Man oh man Bullhead, I look at this laundry list of ifs and wonder how this franchise has gotten so dysfunctional so quickly and what it’s going to take to pull the Cards back from the abyss....

Yes, likely all of the above will come in to play today, but I like the Cards to win regardless since Tennessee, while 8-4, is a shaky 8-4 (they’re not exactly destroying teams and several of their Ws have come against some of the league’s weaker clubs). Wait a minute...that sounds like the Cards (except for the 8 wins). Hmmmm.

Sad but true

The Cardinals say motivation won’t be a problem to close the season despite their record.

Titans at Cardinals

LB Derrick Morgan (knee) won’t play, but the Titans are otherwise healthy.

The Cardinals ruled WR John Brown (toe) and RB Adrian Peterson (neck) out on Friday. DT Josh Mauro (ankle), WR J.J. Nelson (knee), DT Corey Peters (ankle), CB Patrick Peterson (hamstring) and T Jared Veldheer (elbow) are all listed as questionable.

Go Cardinals!

Key Matchup: BA's offense vs. DLB's defense. If anyone knows BA's offense, it's DLB. If anyone knows DLB's defense, it's BA.

Still hard to imagine BA not offering DLB the DC job when Bowles left. Yes, BA wanted DLB to come in and be a mentor to James Bettcher. But, BA has always wanted to call the plays and be in charge of the offense---why wouldn't he understand that Dick LeBeau would always want to do the same?

Reminder:

Arizona Cardinals to host toy drive at Sunday's game vs. Tennessee Titans

http://raycomgroup.worldnow.com/sto...toy-drive-at-sundays-game-vs-tennessee-titans

The Arizona Cardinals are hosting a toy drive that will benefit the "Arizona's Children Association" prior to Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans at the University of Phoenix Stadium.

Cardinals cheerleaders will team up with American Furniture Warehouse volunteers to collect new unwrapped toys and donations for underprivileged children outside of each stadium entrance prior to the pat down area.

Tenn... stops the run and we can't run.

Ergo, we are depending on BG's arm to do the job.

Hope springs eternal but I don't like our chances.

The roof will be closed. Helped so much last week versus the Rams... #opentheroof

I get Cowboys at Giants for the only early game, ugh. How come we don't get an AFC game in the early slot today?

This is a rhetorical question I assume?

Having a hard time looking for reasons to watch this game outside of boredom.

Actually, that’s what I’m getting too (TV Guide app listed GB-Clev). No early CBS game here in Utah because we have to get Denver late (v. the Jets—bleck!).

Game Decider - Contest pits the talented but erratic Cards vs. the boring but reliable Titans. Game figures to pivot on how mant big plays the Cards make paired with the number of times we screw up.

I know I have complained about this before. But force feeding us the Cowboys who we despise and not having a game like the Raiders/KC when we are so close to California is a bunch of BS. The stations making up some strange reason we don't get 2 games to choose from when our local team in not playing is not helping the ratings. It's chasing more people away. And to watch the NY Giants?

Well, I’m convinced that the folks who select the games for a market aren’t actually football fans. I’ve lived in Utah for 11+ years and the Fox affiliate rarely airs Cards games. Instead, here are the teams I usually see: Broncos, Cowboys, Steelers, Ravens, Bengals, Redskins, & Eagles. I’ve contacted my affiliates on several occasions and they never bother to respond. Know how many (non national TV) Cards games have been beamed in to Utah this year? 0. Thankfully I have family an hour away who subscribe to Sunday Ticket. I get the Denver and Dallas love, but I’ve never been able to figure the fixation with televising teams from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Ohio. It’s just plain weird.

Game is on Channel 5 CBS
