So much for guys being ready on day one despite getting zero time in preseason games. SMH.

At halftime nobody was talking about the preseason.

Games do go past halftime (unfortunately for the Cards in this case).

Right but they came out looking prepared for the most part. Adjustments on the other hand…

Yea, the preseason point would be accurate if we started out slow then came out firing in the 2nd half, not the other way around.

I think the only change to consider was Marvin's comment about not having played since Nov. Maybe he could have benefitted from some more PS reps since it had been so long. I would probably make that point for all of the younger players. Didn't seem to have mattered to the vets.
100% agree. At a minimum all of the rookies should be seeing PS reps whether they are slated to be starters or not. Even if it is to just get them used to the play speed of the NFL and shake off some of the nerves. Get that first real NFL contact. There is just no substitute for actual game speed.

saw the same script repeatedly last year. Play a surprisingly solid 1st half, followed by a 2nd half collapse. Continuing that trend in Game 1 this year is probably what worries me the most about this coaching staff moving forward.

I'm better than Mulli!
If “on par” means scoring 3 points in a half, I’m out.

You can only cover up your weaknesses for so long in this league.

Eh, we could be 2-0 had these guys played together some in the preseason and didn't wait until game 2 of the regular season to build some chemistry.

I didn’t believe we would be in the game with the Bills but we were. I’m happy with 1-1, very happy.
I have an entirely different view of the next 6 games we have. I originally thought 0-8 now 4-4 is doable

Three weeks with very winnable games and we are 1-2. Life as a Cardinals fan.

Bills away and the Lions are probably two of the toughest games on our schedule, so not surprised.

When you see the schedule on paper it's easy to say, "Oh, we'll probably be 1-2 after 3 weeks."
But when you see the games played out and know that we just as easily could be 3-0, it hits a little differently. So many missed opportunities.

The NFL is a winnable league. You're going to have a 40-60 shot or better to win each game, but teams eventually show who they are.

Yes, they COULD have won the Buffalo and Detroit games, but I don't think anyone here would argue they SHOULD have won those games. While upsets do happen, the better teams usually win, and both Buffalo and Detroit have considerably better rosters.

So predictable that KK would return and have success against us. It is the Cardinal way.
Kliff want the only issue when he was here. It seems he has taken the time to look in the mirror and improve himself and got work with Lincoln Riley. Kudos to Kliff and I bet he is glad not having to work with coach killer Kyler any longer

One that very easily could be 3-0. Ironic, eh?
Is the darksiders taking applications?
