That was one of the weirdest games I can recall. It’s odd because Lester posted a thread last weak about the Cards’ 1970 Monday shellacking of the Boys. It’s good Dandy Don wasn’t here to see this. He would have cried again. I know people feel vindicated by the win, but frankly it was more a Cowboy loss.
The Cards won’t win many games with 9 for 24 passing. That said I’ve never seen a QB as fast as Murray. When he ran outside he simply easily beat people to the edge. That’s a devastating advantage in the red zone and in short yardage situations.
Drake was faster than I thought but I think Edmonds would have taken that long run to the house too. It seemed early on the announcers agreed.
Phillips had a strong game. Perhaps he was honoring of his dad.
Hicks still has bad hands. It’s always hurt him in pass coverage. However he was solid against the run.
At least they let Simmons play a little. Hard to believe they can’t find a role for someone who’s that impressive an athlete.
The O-line played their best game but they got very little resistance from the Cowboys.
Reddick had another solid game.
Deionte Thompson plays better every week.
For those who thought Fitz was done; he looked quite good when given the chance.
I have no clue what happened to Isabella. He seems to be playing some other game. How can you lose a ball in the sun during a night game? It reminds me of the time an STL Card baseball player lost a ball in the sun and Harry Carey noted, “How can he lose a ball in the sun? He’s from the Dominican Republic.”
Kirk had 2 nice plays. If would be huge if he could become a weekly threat. The Cards again benefitted from involving multiple receivers.
Awesome game by Baker. He looked worth the money last night.
Finally, it’s important to keep a perspective. This opponent gave up in the first half. 24 points followed turnovers. Certainly a win is a win, but I’m not certain it said much about the Cards’ potential. Even the Jets would have won against that kind of effort.

It was clear he was expecting it on the other shoulder.
