On the bright side

[Jetstream Green]

We are seeing that if you can't draft and you can't sign FAs, you are going to struggle to be consistently good.

No, this is more about drafting, pure and simple Chopper

Bright side? Only 16 games left.

 

[GatorAZ]

Dortch is legit.

 

[FB94]

If the Hags lose we're tied for 1st place in the division. If they win, we're only one game back!

This is the only bright spot after today. Good chance the NFC west goes 0-4

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

On the bright side…Dennis Gardeck

 

[AZ Native]

5 more weeks and Suns time! Thank god

I love the Suns but their 7th game collapse was worse, IMO, than our playoff loss to Rams. The Suns were widely expected to win and move on.

Sarver is an even worse owner than Bidwill. I don’t have much hope for the Suns….Long Term

Sarver had nothing to do with that awful loss. He let James Jones put together an outstanding team. If we had someone like Jones instead of Keim it would all be different.

Yop.

It’s amazing what good teams do no matter what. Tampa has a patchwork OL opening huge holes to run against a fast good Dallas defense. Brady gets enough time to throw. But I think we will be ok when Hop comes back and we play the Raiders too. I mean the Chiefs have dominated openers. It is what it is. Next week will be the telling game.

Amazing that the Tampa Bay staff consists of many former Cardinals coaches And has for several years. That shows how much control Bidwill and Keim exerted. Micromanagers

There is no bright side, maybe a Far Side.

 

[reebokalone2001]

The bright side is I'm done giving Bidwill money for a very long time. It's gunna take a lot to earn another penny from me.

I wish more would follow suit. It's the only thing that would get his attention.

Me too.

Yep. Have to draft well in order to have cap room for trades and free agents to get you over the top.

 

[overseascardfan]

We are looking good in the Will Anderson Jr. sweepstakes.

 

[Red on White]

Wait, there's a bright side?

We've solved the issue of our fast starts / slow finishes to seasons

 

[Garthshort]

At least I won't spend all week going if they don't overturn that Dortch catch we might have won. We got destroyed so don't even concern myself with a play here or there.

Dortch looked good. Gardeck looked good. I thought Collins was ok except trying to cover Hardman but that's a scheme thing not on him.

Pretty much everything else sucked. Hudson's snaps in the first half were awful, Harlow was comically bad, Kyler got a little spooked in the pocket as a result. AJ Green invisible, Hollywood doubled, Ertz nothing etc.

It was a game we had to run the ball well to win and we fell behind so fast we abandoned the run.

I know Mahomes and Kelce are first ballot HOFers both among the best ever to play the game at their position but my goodness Simmons got destroyed today.

Russ, I liked your post. But I was sure it was going to start with THERE IS NO BRIGHT SIDE.

 

[BritCard]

The bright side is the whole division will be 0-1 and the season starts next week.

The team got a kick in the pants. Let's hope we get a bunch of guys back for next week.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

If SUH isn't signed yet i would give him a call
Our front seven is weak slow and ineffective

Been saying it for weeks

 

[Totally_Red]

The bright side is that the entire division is suspect. Misery loves company.

 

[Card'em]

I actually was encouraged by Zaven Collins' play. For his first real game experience he wasn't half bad and I thought he was going to be an utter disaster like Simmons was. I'm not saying Collins was stellar, but he made a lot of plays. He did get lost in coverage a few times, but this is not surprising for his first start.

Warning: Don't flame me for pointing out one positive in an absolutely abysmal team performance.

 

[Garthshort]

Week 13 is a bye week. On a serious note, I think that Dallas, GB, NE, of the 'name' teams are in worse shape.

 

[Cards_Campos]

1 game doesn’t dictate a season. New England awhile back lost 31-0 or something really bad to Kansas City and they won the super bowl. The year we went to the super bowl. Philadelphia New England curb stomped us. We need to be 3-3 by the time DHop comes back. That’s what I’m looking for

I didn't notice him, but I think that's a good thing in the context of this game. He wasn't perfect, but, in retrospect, he wasn't terrible.

Agreed. Simmons got beat time and time again. It's looking like it's time to think about moving on.

I saw Collins making plays in the run game.
