Week 18 - Seahawks & Cardinals Pre Game Thread

[pemory09]

Yup it’s why the cliche “game of inches” rings so true. Also a reason why so many posters get as worked up over a single play sometimes. It can have an indelible impact on an entire season.

So true. The Cards are an A.J. Green brain freeze from earning the #1 seed. That said, let’s face it: this team would likely have figured a way to lose last week’s game at DAL or tomorrow’s game v. SEA and fumble away top seeding were it still a possibility. Not saying they can’t go deep into the postseason (they certainly have the talent to do so), they just seem to underwhelm when expected to perform well.

That's a usage issue. In his first year with Rosen he was really good in the screen game and the YAC stuff. Even Kliff year one he had something like 10 carries and 9 yards per.

We just stopped using him that way for some reason.

But he's physically not that guy anymore. I think earlier in the season a tweet was posted about him struggling to break tackles. He just seems to hit the ground easier and doesnt have the same wiggle.

Well the difference could be as simple as, he plays the slot now instead of the outside.

Wouldnt be surprised if AJ's agent asked Schefter to tweet this.

We'll see if Kyler/Kliff will do him this solid. Brady/Arians did what they could for AB last year. Obviously went off the deep end this year, but was a good gesture by them.

Edit: Kirk is also 61 yards from 1000. Wonder if he has a bonus setup in his contract. Obviously the goal is the win first, but curious how Kyler approaches this.

based on average thats five catches for green... hitting both marks is not too far out without Hop, edmonds, ot conner...both guys should see a lot of action.

I'm more than happy to pay AJ the 250 K when I compare it to the 15 mil that was paid to Sam Bradford !!

I’m guessing if there’s no Conner in addition to no Chase, Kyler gets a quarter or two and is then pulled. Going an entire game depending on Ward and Eno for pass pro is a dangerous proposition right before a playoff game.

If we pull Kyler with the Lambs losing to the Whiners I will never forgive KK.

Call me crazy. Just move Rondale to RB the rest of the year.

He's always been more Sproles anyway (at least at this point in his development).

That's hilarious you got a hold of that pic of the Cowboy cheerleader for your avatar.

When that happened in real time I saw the look on her face as Kyler scampered by. I actually rewinded to see it again. She was visibly perturbed.
