It's your time to shine darkside! :)

There's no way to spin today, even for a super optimist like me. It's almost impossible for us to make the playoffs even if we win out.

The season is pretty much over and we're limping towards the finish line instead of getting stronger.

And I have to admit this is a low point for me during K1's Cardinals' tenure.

Nothing can stop the darkside now, so I'm not sure how much I'll be posting this week. Things are going to get ugly I'm sure!

Hope everybody has a great week! See some of you on at the halftime meet on Sunday!

Trust me, we don't wanna be here, but when reality sets in its just easier to just accept the inevitable and let it sweep over you like a warm comforter lol

Just trust us for once… none of us WANT to be on the Darkside.

Rolling in to say that Kyler is trash. I traded him in Dynasty to get a haul, and while Fantasy doesn't matter... my buddy that traded for him started Will Levis over him today.

Will Levis.

Sigh.

Is my take that Kyler is essentially Jameis Winston wrong yet?

I feel you, man. In no way do I want the dark side to shine. I wanted to be eating a hearty helping of crow right about now. Le sigh.

Hang in there brother - despite the end we took some steps forward this season.

Yeah the season is officially over. May need to step away from here for a while as well. Merry Christmas & happy New Year to all!

We all know you are a K1 supporter. Nothing wrong with that. I support Kyler too. You, unlike other Kyler supporters, do not attack everyone who makes a comment that is not favorable to him, whether it is true or not. They blame everyone but K1, even going so far as to blame a coach who hasn't been here in 2 years. We all want K1 to succeed and the Cards to excel. I do not consider myself a darksider and I want K1 to succeed. When he plays well, I will be the first to give him props. When he doesn't, well, I will state that too. Peace to you.

I admittedly am new here as well. I only joined about 6 weeks ago. I never even thought about being here but I believe that K1 has driven me here.

I was so bummed early in the year I didn't even want to make my annual road trip. But then we got a few wins got me optimistic and I was fired up to go to Seattle. But I'm back to reality now

It's time. The future doesn't look much better than the present, and all of this losing has really taken a toll on all of us.

- Kyler is melting down at the end of the year again
- The offense is built around a 30-year-old RB whose style doesn't age well.
- None of Monti's 3 first round picks appear to be anything special
- Monti's FA signings are even worse, aside from the MLBs
- The offensive play calling has become odd way too often
- The identity of the team is still in question
- The offensive personnel and the offensive scheme aren't really cohesive
- The defense still can't force turnovers
- The 2024 draft class that was supposed to springboard the whole rebuilding process has been average at best.

There just aren't many positives right now.

Kyler being unable to function in the 2nd half of the season, again, is probably the end of any discourse about him being a reliable QB.

But overall for the team, the schedule this season is absolutely insane.

There is a real possibility that come game 17 the Cardinals will have played a grand total of four teams with a losing record... that is insane. Even on a 16 game schedule, that would seem totally unprecedented.
