Week 18 - Seahawks & Cardinals Pre Game Thread

[RON_IN_OC]

49ers are ravaged by injuries and covid for this week. What is the point of even playing starters by the Cardinals?

Have you not been paying attention to the NFL this year? Teams that are undermanned seem to be playing harder and winning. See: Arizona Cardinals

They should handle it fine, since they will probably move on from the other's in that draft class, saving $$. Looking at you Invisabella.

How much would u pay them?

Actual dollars? No idea...as for structure, I'd give Murray something on par with Lamar. For Murphy and Thompson I give a good $ amount, but maybe shorter term, to keep the carrot out there. They have both shown great playmaking ability, but maybe Cards aren't sold on super long-term deals yet. Give them good short deals, with the expectation that they can get a 3rd contract before they turn 30.

It is usually a little cheaper to extend non-QBs early. It would be nice to lockup Thompson, he's earned it IMO.

but here the thing--- its got to be a team friendly deal, right? Not too many teams have both safties making good money

wouldnt mind a modest extension for Allen, maybe extend Humphries out a little, and lockup murphy long term.

Murphy has too. I wouldn't be surprised if all 3 get a contract extension.

In three years, Keim turned the worst roster in the league into one of the best. However, he had the advantage of building it around a true QBOTF on a rookie contract.

And so the true test of his GM skills will commence at the end of this season. I think a lot of GMs can build a "one-hit-wonder", but can Keim build a perennial contender? Something like Bilichick (who is the de facto GM of NE, right?) has done in NE.

That's exactly what we want as well

Interesting language, VJ praising football IQ and smarts in both cases.

Seem to be the non-negotiables on his defense. Keim talked up things like versatility, size, athleticism when he drafted Zaven from memory.

Is Vance right to put football IQ ahead of physical traits?

Even with their season going nowhere, you can bet we'll have tons of 12th Man "fans" filling our home stadium with their ugly "SEA" - "HAWK" chants.

With a win, we can be .500 at home. Pathetic.

Sickened even by reading this & especially thinking about that dirty donkey #$& green in SFS lol.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

There was a tie once. I was at that pathetic game. Both kickers missed short field goals in the waning minutes.

6-6. Watched that game in a sports bar & was so pissed. I'll never forget that one.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

I hope when Rondale is back, they still keep Dortch active.

Love Rondale but Dortch deserves some more snaps cause of how good he looked against Dallas.

Exactly, I'll be even more impressed if he can build another roster as good as this one.

Chase Edmonds sits again, Marco Wilson limited Thursday

There were some improvements on Arizona's second injury report of the week.

Cardinals seeking only third-ever home win over Russell Wilson

The Cardinals have beaten the Seahawks at home in consecutive seasons since 2011-2012. Wilson is 6-2-1 At State Farm Stadium against Arizona.

If we punch them in the mouth a couple of times early, they might lay down. But Wilson is also auditioning for other teams I guess.

I like our chances to win, but also think Wilson, backed by Penny, might find enough offense to keep it pretty close. Cards by seven, 31-24.
