This team is absolutely amazing and so very fun to watch. I don't love bend but don't break defenses but it's what we can do with the players we have.

JG gives Reddick a big hug and spends some time talking to him. Laying ground work for this upcoming FA period?
The "bend but don't break" defense is working quite well though. Teams are routinely having 10-15 play drives that are ending in FGs and punts. It works so well because most of the players on the defense close quickly and make good tackles. To score TDs on this defense you have to consistently use up like 12-15 plays without making any mistakes on key downs. It's hard to do.

Certainly few if any would have predicted a 6-4 record going into the bye 4-6 was about as good as we could see but the coaches and front office know a lot more than we do obviously
From the day the schedule came out I looked at this part of the schedule, three out of four at home against the Chargers, Bears and Jets and thought "We could make the playoffs. You can't ask for a better home schedule.". I posted such thoughts in the prediction thread and elsewhere. I was expecting a L against Miami but I also totally believed we were going to beat Buffalo.

So, I am very pleased not shocked by our record. You got those four games, with a QB in his prime, you should expect to win at least 3 of them. Instead, we have gone 4-0 in that stretch which makes up for yakking the very winnable Buffalo game.

Another big day for the Cardinals young corners:
Garrett Williams: 7 targets, 5 receptions, 15 yards
Max Melton: 5 targets, 2 receptions, 27 yards
Starling Thomas: 5 targets, 3 receptions, 18 yards
Just 3.5 yards per attempt when Rodgers targeted those three.
Jon Gannon, Cornerback/Safety specialist.

Yup. I been on record predicting a 10 win season since they announced the opponents... I also expected us to steal a win from Buffalo....
Wish we could play a couple of those "L's" again...this ain't the same team that played in September
