We Won!

[RugbyMuffin]

Hooray!

Officially 1.5 games better than last year.

Cleveland's defense was classic Steve Wilks football.

If they can sneak out a win in the next two games I will be impressed. Five wins with the lack of talent on this roster is impressive.

I wonder if Wilks counts this as his fourth Cardinals win?

 

[Chopper0080]

Wilks is just not good.

 

[Solar7]

I won't be impressed with more wins, but I really like Kyler Murray's decent bounce back. I was afraid a major drop off was happening, but probably just some rookie woes at this point. Nice to see him succeed in a game that had so many storylines on each side.

Drake was a monster yesterday.

Looks like I picked the right game to make the trip over for. Amazing what a win did for my psyche. Cards actually looked like a football team.

Why not, glad we beat Wilks, Mayfield and the Brownies!

We went from being disgusted by .500 seasons to looking forward to a .500 season in the coming years to being an incredible success.

Always nice to get wins.Still the wins have been versus teams with a record of 15-41.Add the Lions tie 18-51-1.Thats pretty bad.Maybe some light at the end of the tunnel.

I’ll always love Steve Wilks. Without Wilks we don’t have Murray. And without Murray, we have no future. For the 2nd time (Lomax being the 1st), we have an exciting QBOF that at least gives us a chance for success. Whether it’s Keim or another GM altogether, there’s now an opportunity to build around something special. It’s up to MB to decide if Keim has the ability to do that.

I was very impressed with Damiere Byrd. He seemed to be in the right place at the right time.

Best of the worst.

well that’s kind of how a rebuild goes. Beat the teams your supposed to beat, be scrappy and competitive against the good teams

Then next year mix in some wins against the good teams

1. Kudos ro to Chris Jones

2. We took our eye off the ball after going up 14 - 0 and our poor tackling created the 33 yd TD run by Chubb that brought them to within 7. Life would be easier if we kept our foot down on the pedal 100% of time.

3. Murray would have graded out close to 100% had he not underthrown Clay.

4. Arnold certainly came out of nowhere, didn't he?

5. Loved the run blocking - especially by the right side of the OL.

6. We needed that win.

That's all I got.

As a fan for 50 plus years I know what rebuilds are like as several other long time fans know.Just hoping real steps are going to be made for long term success.

I mean, that’s how any rebuild goes, but not a good rebuild necessarily. An encouraging sign in a good rebuild is beating a couple of good teams, not barely hanging on against bad teams.

That said, yesterday was good all around. Very little room for complaints on my end.

When you spend most of the year struggling to get the lead, it can be easy to not know what to do when you get a big lead. That is one step in learning how to win.

I love how we ran the ball Sunday. Our WR's don't get a whole lot of separation so running the ball opens that up a little more. Our defense has kept us from winning more games. Could very easily have 8 wins right now. Twice against the 49ers. Hopefully the defense gets fixed in the offseason? Enough to win a few more of those close games anyways.
