You’ve got a winner in town!

Hardly proof of anything with Mahomes. He has been poor for like 5 straight games now.

We have also torched some defenses that are on par with GB. Regardless their defense is good, but not good enough that they should be holding us to 21 points.

Mahomes was 20/37 for 166 yards AT HOME last week. It was statistically the worse day of his career.

I have felt good about several games this year when people said we had little to no chance. This one, I don't have a good feeling. I think this is the game we are not supposed to lose and we do. I don't think we can go 17 games without a let down game.

I think the cards slay another nemesis..just like the rams
Cardinals 31-17

I'd rather Murray and Nuk sit and be full go for Seahawks. If we can thrash the Niners without them we can beat the Panthers.

I will actually get to watch this game, as I am just a little over an our from the stadium (in South Carolina). Gave up Direct TV a couple of years ago, so no Sunday ticket. The only thing that bothers me about this game is that it is in Arizona. For what ever reasons we seem better focused as a team when we are playing on the road. But since it looks like we won't have Murray or Hopkins again this week we might be a little more focused on this game.

Wow, that's such a dated pic. Cigarette advert looming large with hideous football fashion lol

 

[AustrianCardFan]

Can't really explain why but I have a terrible feeling for tonights game. Hope I am wrong but I feel like we might lose this game thanks to a last minute FG by Zane.

I know it's the darksider in me, but KM's durability is starting to come into question. Last year, it derailed our season completely. This year it hasn't yet. And I get he's only missed one game so far. I understand that. It's just...worrisome. I'm a Cards fan. I worry. Sue me

I get the feeling if Chris Streveler was our backup QB then Kyler would have played last game.

It's all good, we got this Kyler. Rest up

It's football. I would think number 1 sport for injuries/serious injuries. What else is there to be said

That he's not going to reach his potential/we won't win what we could win if he becomes injury prone. Pretty simple stuff here.

Depends.

Last year he initially hurt his shoulder trying to run through a defender for a 1st down against Miami late in the game. Then by the Seattle game he fell on it awkward and then the season changed. I dont think he'll ever try running over a defender again.

This last injury was on a designed run where frankly we didnt even need to do it cause we were throwing it so well.

Thats ultimately the key with his health. Either he's so elusive he doesnt take those big shots like he did last year. Or he's throwing well enough to where we dont need to use him for designed runs if at all (Russell Wilson) I kinda think he was heading that way this year. Shame he got hurt.

Yep, I agree on that designed run. No need for those, unless they're well-timed boots with pass options. Leave the nice runs for scramble plays.

I actually like those jerseys more than a little bit. I have NO memory of those.

@SoonerLou, you're right about the play last year vs. Miami. That was a big time collision. But I'm also going to say the worst out loud man, even though I shouldn't. Have a seat before you read the next line.

Murray appears to be a little fragile.

Now maybe its still too small of a sample size, and maybe it's just been bad luck so far. But it sure doesn't seem to take very much contact to take him down to less than 100% effectiveness. He's like a finely-tuned watch that works better than pretty much any other watch, but that you also have to be very careful with.

I hope I'm wrong man, but what do you think?

 

[DVontel]

Think we win this game but we lose to Seattle next week even with a returning Kyler & how dominant we been on the road.

 

[Garthshort]

Carolina has our number. But so did the Rams. This is our breakout year.

The simple red on tan looks good.

Why do we lose to SEA? Their defense is terrible! If Murray and Dhop are back for that game we should score almost at will.

Because it’s still a divisional game & Seattle will be fighting for their season that game. They also still have Russell Wilson.

 

[DVontel]

Positive of this is that Kyler will have less wear & tear on him going down the stretch.
