This team is GOOD!

[imaCafan]

Can’t help but wonder what this offense would look like with a healthy (and happy) DHop?

nah im all the way good on that

I’m anxious to see if they can stay focused against their lesser opponents or if they’ll get caught up in press clipping’s syndrome. The should get 9 wins easily with 10 or 11 not out of the picture.

I was thinking about

with the progress the team has made on offense, defense and special teams, if we had those four team losses later in the season do we lose any of them?

This team might be better than we are thinking. I can’t get this thought out of my head.

This is probably helping the defense too. Cards have a lot of long drives and ball control. Jets only had 6 drives on Sunday. Keeps the defense fresher and opponents less opportunities to score.

Absolutely. It kind of lends to the style of offense we play.
However, sooner or later defenses are going to move 8 in the box to stop this lethal running game. When that happens will we be able to take advantage of deeper open spaces?

Double edge sword. The Bills are better now and the same could be said of the Lions.
That’s why I think we have to reel it in a little bit. When the Bears came here many were saying “ They haven’t played anybody”.
This defensive surge came against the Chargers, Bears and Jets. All teams looked at as teams with less than stellar offenses.

The Chargers have gotten their offense going since we played them. Admittedly against bottom feeding teams, but they should look good against teams like that and they have.

I’m sure it’s a pick your poison thing.

 

[CardLogic]

I just need one more Cardinals win to cover my Over bet on the Cardinals win total of 6.5 wins this season!

SSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!

 

[CardLogic]

We need to post victory, locker room speeches again

Dude! Seriously! Why would the cards social media team stop that?

Response copied directly from Darren Urban's "Mailbag":
From Dhruvraj Parmar:
Has the team stopped posting victory speeches? Would be cool to see those again."
We have not posted those since last season. Jonathan Gannon prefers not to have video from the locker room.

1-6 against current playoff teams. We can beat the bad teams, need to find a way to win vs. good teams. Until we do that, we're just ok.

The Cardinals actually moved up four spots in DVOA after the loss to the Vikings. Speaks to what we saw: the players performed well enough to win. The coaches blew it.

Way better than last year, playing meaningful football in December

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Very good! The D has holes but they are doing what they need to.

The rookies are coming along nicely! The draft class is starting to look like it was nailed imo!

This coaching staff is killing it including Petzing! We have 31 points on the board halfway through the 3rd Quarter against a top five defense in the NFL.

Kyler playing like the NFLs best QB today! MHJ!

We’re gonna be 2 games above .500 and I can’t be happier or more proud of this team at this moment!

Thanks for the jinx, @Shane. We haven't won since you posted this.
