I've been down on them all year, but they get the game ball today. Great job Cardinals. Now beat the Rams next week and 2020 just might be the year.
Kudos to the defense

It makes you wonder where the defense has been all season when the Cardinals can play defense like they did today against the Seahawks.
Good job by the D today. Have to give credit when it's due.

I took a cruise through the Seahawks fan forums and they are killing their playcalling. They never did anything to adjust. Especially after the top two RBs go down, you cant stick to the original game plan.

Jalen Thompson is the TRUTH

Add Derrick Brown in the draft and a speedy LB in free agency and I will be excited.

Didn't Vance Joseph simplify something about the defense the last couple weeks? I could have sworn I heard something about that.

Pressure all day and the secondary was very good. Baker was hurting people. That man will hit you.
We underestimate the time it takes for players and coaches to adjust to a new system. Remember this is the third system change in 3 years.
Not only do the players have to adjust but coaches have to learn the players strengths and limitations.
Hats of to the players and the staff for a fantastic job today. Especially not over rushing Wilson and keeping him boxed in the whole game.

This defense has played its best after Suggs was cut. Coincidence?

Yes, but they were playing some backup ol.
VJ is starting to do some different calls as of late. Seems like I am seeing some deception in the pressures and coverages I dont recall seeing earlier the season.
P2 putting together good games and trying to make us doubters eat crow.
Keim isn't off the hook though. I think this is our first win against a team that currently has a winning record.

Imo, that part is easy to figure out. VJ simplified the defense. Has allowed them to react instead of over think, plus communicate. PP said he is finally on the same page with VJ, on the techniques he needs to use with the coverages that are different now from the ones used in training camp. Notice how much quicker Jalen Thompson is at the point of attack now? He gets there so quickly, so does BB, but Baker has been doing it for weeks now. Zach Kerr looked damn good today, so did Joe Walker. They layed the wood on tackles & put both Carson & Procise (sp) out of the game today. Maybe season ending for both RB's? Even Reddick looked like more of a pass rusher, on one play, he never really bit on the fake by RW, stayed with him, forced him to throw it away.

as good a place to put this as any:
pretty sure Budda Baker put CJ Prosise out with a hit that broke CJs forearm

Definitely have to give the D their due! But, it still concerns me when a D may be too complicated/sophisticated that it takes an ENTIRE season for your players to grasp it. We still have numerous holes to fill on that D, but it's always fun to watch Carroll squirm on the sideline. With 2 consecutive dominating wins, one thing is certain. No one is getting fired after the season. In the big scheme of things, that's important for the overall growth of this franchise. You simply can't continue to overhaul coaches/players year & year. To the dismay of many on this board, Keim has probably also saved his job, if it was even in jeopardy.
