LA Chargers @ Arizona Cardinals Pre Game Thread. 10/14/24-10/20/24

[BullheadCardFan]

Game day is here.

Sure hope the team shows up after last week. Players need to have some pride.

By the way this division is still winnable for the Cards.

It would be a good bet we will finish the season with 2-3 conf wins at the most.

Considering we have two in the bucket already my question centers on which team gives up the third?

"Pride" and "character" don't make you faster, stronger, or bigger. Talent is talent. This team lacks it on the defensive side. It's why the offense gets criticized and the defense shouldn't. Roy Lopez, Tonga, Collier, Stills, Gardeck, Collins, and all the rest are giving it everything they have. It's just not enough most times.

Anyone see Illinois uniforms against Michigan? I liked them

Love those helmets...got that old time 1915 leather look... those unis are an homage to throwback uni's , lol

OK, I checked the Gridiron Uniform Database for the definitive info.

The Cards have had a few variants of black unis. They've had the current all blacks with black helmet since 2022 and they're 0-3 in that combo (2024 week 3 vs. Lions, and 2023 week 4 vs. Bengals and week 11 vs. Rams).

From 2017-2022 the Cards had the black Color Rush uniforms with red numbers, black pants, and the white helmet. They were 1-6 (won 2022 week 7 vs. Saints, lost in the infamous 2021 week 8 game vs. Packers, lost 2020 week 13 vs. Rams and week 11 at Seahawks, lost 2019 week 9 vs. 49ers, lost 2018 week 7 vs. Broncos, lost 2017 week 10 vs. Seahawks).

From 2010-2022 the Cards had the black jerseys with white numbers, which they wore with white pants and the white helmet. They were 8-9 (lost 2022 week 5 vs. Eagles, lost 2021 week 5 vs. 49ers, won 2020 week 7 vs. Seahawks, won 2019 week 6 vs. Falcons, lost 2018 week 14 vs. Lions, won 2017 week 6 vs. Buccaneers, lost 2016 week 4 vs. Rams, lost 2015 week 4 vs. Rams, won 2014 week 3 vs. 49ers, won 2013 week 10 vs. Texans and week 5 vs. Panthers, lost 2012 week 6 vs. Bills and won week 3 vs. Eagles, won 2011 week 9 vs. Rams and lost week 4 vs. Giants, lost 2010 week 12 vs. 49ers and week 8 vs. Buccaneers).

So to summarize... the Cards are 0-3 in the current all-blacks (with all three games at home), and were 1-6 in the old all-black Color Rush with white helmets (0-6 at home and 1-0 on the road). They were 8-9 in the old black jerseys with white numbers, white pants, and white helmet (all at home). So apparently the more white in the uniform, the better their win rate!

Nevertheless, I STILL love the all blacks!

Hey it’s like they say, “4th time’s a charm”

 

[Rivercard]

Oh yeah… I WILL get this game because I live in LA!

Anyone know what channel it’ll be on in LA?

Looks like the game tonight will be on channel 13 KCOP in Southern California.

“National stage.”

Okay, Johnny.

 

[MadCardDisease]

“National stage.”

Okay, Johnny.

It's a National Stage... Behind a paywall that no one nationally is willing to pay for.

 

[unseenaz]

Well, the Cardinals have done a pretty good job of ruining my Sundays this year.. let's see how they fair on a Monday!

 

[speedy]

I think just adding a pass rusher would bolster the entire D. From there a better judgement can be made on the back 7.

We have capital and cap. Not sure what the issue is, but it definitely gives an IDGAF vibe.

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

This is certainly a game that will be played

 

[oaken1]

Chargers already had a bye week?

Ya I think if it was a ploy to get people to sign they should not have a free game playing at essentially the same time.

Yeah it doesn't make much sense

 

[gimpy]

Both games were on ESPN+. I don't think MNF normally shows their games on ESPN+. So, don't know why was the Ravens game on ESPN+?

The Ravens @ Buccaneers game was on ESPN (the usual MNF outlet), not ESPN+.

 

[CardNots]

Can we toss the Tush play in the trash can?

 

[WisconsinCard]

You could watch both on the plus tho. I was watch the Ravens on there before switching to our game

 

[CardNots]

After watching a replay of the game, I believe Kyler is faster than when entering the league.

It’s apparent his rehab enhanced his quickness and speed.

 

[Yuma]

Yeah, but that's balanced against Chargering! Which cancelled each other out for a 17-15 score! LOL!

 

[Yuma]

After watching a reply of the game, I believe Kyler is faster than when entering the league.

It’s apparent his rehab enhanced his quickness and speed.

We were talking about that two games back on some of his runs at my house. He may not have sprinter speed, but his football speed is faster! That injury does not seem like he's slower at all!

 

[Yuma]

BTW, that was the first Harbaugh loss on MNF. Harbaugh is now 6-1.

 

[CardNots]

Was that our first win with the all black unis?

 

[TruColor]

Was that our first win with the all black unis?

This newer design? I think so.

EDIT: Yes.
