Was it better to suffer through this horrible losing streak to get a new coach and GM

Or, would you have preferred to win the Falcons, Jets and Bills games (the most winnable of all our losses, Vikings was also winnable with average QB play) and finished 8-8? But, we would've been in the running for the playoffs right up until the last two games.


Personally, I think it's probably better in the long run that we choked those easy wins away. 8-8 would've covered up some flaws and probably kept Whis and Graves in place, IMO.

Yes. This team was stuck in the mud and starting to sink in the quicksand. I'm ok with 5-11 as long as it yielded this result so the team can move forward.

I wish we'd have sucked monster balls last year instead of rallying for 8-8, and drafted either Luck or RGIII. Then fired the jackwagon and his crew of offensive geniuses.

Yep, it clearly hid the flaws of the team going forward. It figures that we can't even suck right. It's a poor QB draft compared to last year. Even Ryan Tannehill is better than anyone going into the draft this year.

A winning season would have been better. This was a bad year to finally get Sunday Ticket.

Every time the lights came on, i wanted this team to win. Many times they gave a valiant effort, but in the end we ran out of bullets, so was it worth it? Only time will tell, but you cannot want to lose. You cannot depend on any man to make the right decisions always.

I think Whiz and Graves did the best they could, along with the rest of the staff. I grew tired of the same ole schtick. They had to be fired. This had to happen. People lie, but numbers don't lie. This team was pathetic for a long time.

Stat of the game on Sunday was that our 3-0 lead was the first lead we have held over the 49ers in 4 years! How Whiz could have come back was beyond comprehension.

We beat the 49ers last season. So I would recheck that stat.

No.

Not at all.

I would have been absolutely thrilled to have had Whiz and company work out. For Kolb to have been that guy who did enough, for Levi Brown to play like he did in the 2nd half of 2011, and for Jeremy Bridges to have a swan song.

I am not trilled Whiz is gone, but I do think it needed to be done.

This.

I care about the Cardinals front office, coaching staff, and most players about as much as I care about what brand of toilet paper I use...

Wipe. Clean? Good.

Just win, thank you very much.

Were we better off?? I thought Shakespeare answered this question with Hamlet's whole slings and arrows-outrageous fortune rant.

You are a crazy person if you can't see the benefits of Charmin over cheap brands. !?!

Charmin is much too expensive, and way to soft.

Scott 1-ply all the way; you can fold as often as is necessary and it's abrasive enough to grip like warm tires on summer pavement.

Too expensive? :doi: :Costco:

Not all of us make $12/hour like you do, so making ends meet takes some effort.

Besides which, that's where I get my Scott 1-ply, for pennies on the dollar compared to your vaunted Charmin.
