They love to play when all is going in their favor. But if not, they pull out the white flags immediately. I never seen a team give up so early in a game. Not sure at what point you could say it happened, or even which side of the ball quit first. It doesn't seem logical that that early missed FG deflated the whole team. But it wasn't too long after that that it appears the team gave up the ghost and laid down to die. Hell, they surrendered quicker than the French when they heard the German tanks crossing the Vosges.

How does one continue to root for a team with our talent, but with so little fight in them? Not sure I can much longer. It might be time to look into reserving tickets for the new Raiders stadium in Vegas.

Ain’t you doing what your saying the players are doing? Players, coaches, GM’s come and go but Card fans and Billy Bidwill are here forever! We’ve been through worse than this - stuff that would make LA fan’s faces melt off! Don’t be an organ, male or female!

CARDINAL UP and take it like a FAN!

I would like to say I'm going to miss those polls, but I wouldn't be telling the truth. Enjoy the raiders, I'll see you there when we play them in Las Vegas.

I have been there since the first day, sitting in the blistering heat in my seat, front row mid-end zone right between the goal posts at good old Sun Devil Stadium. A person can take only so much agony and torture over 30 yrs. Sorry, I will reserve a warm place in my heart for them, just like you do a dead parent who beat you daily during your youth.

Never got beat daily - but am sure that we appreciate every win more than other fans. We actually expect more now, but lost the edge we had as fans at sds

They just got beat by a better team. No one stood around watching as guys ran around them, they fought, made mistakes, lost their QB, and lost the game.

That team, last year, was 4-12.
Here are all the changes since last year ... they are 5-2 to date

QB Jared Goff
WR Sammy Watkins
WR Robert Woods
WR Cooper Kupp
LT Andrew Whitworth
C John Sullivan
RG Jamon Brown
LB Connor Barwin
RCB Kayvon Webster
FS Lamarcus Joyner

so, they replaced 3/5ths of their O-line and got Goff some WRs . That is pretty much it.
and they dismantled us. So, question is, why didn't the Cardinals tinker the line and since our receivers are arguably equal to theirs, achieve success ? Yeah, I don't know either.

And PP is one of the biggest culprits. Yes he's good at coverage but not the other things to make him an actual football player. All of a sudden vs Tampa when we are up he wants to really try to return a punt says it all. Team is soft.

They better try to injure goff next rams game. I don't care. Just do it.

So from a legal hit, exposing the fragility of an old QB that you unwisely have not gotten a decent back up for, you want to hurt Jared Goff?" How proud your mother must be.

This stems back to all the injuries the rams have dished out on our team especially at the QB position.

This time it was a legal hit.

The time before, Carson fell down with an ACL injury after barely being touched in 2014...The fact that the Cards were playing the Rams was just a fluke, because that ACL must have been ready to fail with whomever the Cards played that day (look below). It just blows me away that you want a kid (Goff) at the beginning of his NFL career to be taken out on purpose that way....not cool.

They did tinker with the line by moving JV to RT which was a mistake imo. The Rams adding Whitworth & Sullivan was huge for them. Their line had sucked for years. Giving Goff time to throw has improved Goff with his decision making. If that makes sense.

It's not that we are fair weather fans. Management is shooting themselves in the foot by not realizing the short comings of this team and addressing them. Keim made all the right moves his first 2 years and then rested on his laurels and guided this team to where its at now with questionable draft picks, allowing key FA's to leave and not adequately replacing them. The coaching staffs unwillingness to develop the OL after drafting projects that need coaching to improve and just not getting it. You can mention injuries have derailed this season but aside from the huge loss of DJ and to an extent Golden there really hasn't been another significant injury (Palmer is not really a huge loss IMO as his play has been inconsistent all year). Had Keim added suitable depth maybe we wouldn't be looking at a grim end to our season now.
