the Cards have a bad QB

AND

a bad offensive system

AND

a top 12 offense


Im not sure how you reconcile those things

I can easily reconcile it.

The Cardinals have a 13-15 QB.

They have a good system if you have a lead and stay on schedule and a bad one if you don't.

These two things led to a top 12 offense.

Also the ball control offense greatly covered for an absolute ass defense as long as there are no turnovers

One of these things can make the Cardinals a top 10 offense with Petzing:

Marvin Harrison Jr consistently winning one on one end zone matchups.

The Cardinals getting actual starting quality OG play

Murray not being absolute ass after November

Yeah I'm not as down on Petzing as some.

I thought his scheme was a decent fit for our 2024 personnel group, and like you mention to protect our game but overmatched defense.

Curiously, in terms of play calling, a little bit like his QB1, DP seemed to shrink up some in high pressure situations. Not at his best.

But yeah. It's not a stretch to think this offensive group can go from 12th to maybe 8th or 7th if it works hard together all offseason.

I clearly blame the players over the coordinator.

Really - so you think 21 touchdown passes by Kyler, and Wilson and Dorch's performances were acceptable?

I had much higher expectations than that.
I think your expectations were a tad misplaced. Dortch is a fourth receiver, at best, on most rosters. Wilson produced as expected for the talent of a 3rd receiver playing the 2nd receiver role imo.

Anyone taking the Bears HC job is either stupid or has big brass ones. Lions, Vikings and Packers are all very good teams with excellent HCs and QBs. Things can change quickly in the NFL but the Bears have been a train wreck and it starts at the top.

I'll throw in an actually here. Actually, the defense bailed the offense out quite a few times this season. The offense not doing enough to score points is what ultimately cost this team.

Agreed on the rest.

I think we are a running team that ran the ball. Scoring as a whole wasn’t terrible. Marv and Kylet r could have been better. I expect it will be. Trey could had better success in the red zone, and I expect he will. The numbers aren’t far off from the talent.

I see Odegard is a stan. Thinking this game in any way moves the needle is beyond misguided.

I think he's trolling/looking for clout.

Cards were T-13th for total TDs with Kansas City and San Francisco. The problem is that the step up from 13 to five is 15 more TDs. We have to find a way to close that gap next year.

Wilson's performance was fine based on being the third receiving option in a low-volume offense (21st in passing attempts).

Dortch is not good. We'd be better off never reading a post from Calvisi or the AZSports dudes next season.

Very few people think that Kyler is bad in the way that, say, Will Levis is bad. They can think he's fine/good/average and be disappointed by that.

The gap then closes when you add in a top seven rushing attack and top three in yards per attempt.
