Kirk and Moore disappearing? Not likely
D Hop looked dang close to 100% to me
I believe Edmonds is back 100% for the Rams game
Stopping Conner and Kyler? You act like thats an easy task?!?


Not trying to tell you how to live your Cardinals fandom, but damn thats about the most negative thought process ive read in a long time
He’s hilarious.

Plus our defense, right?

We have a very good pass rush, and a very good secondary, and so it's tough to beat us throwing the ball. Plus we get Rashard Lawrence back on the D-line in a game or two. That will shore up the run defense a little. Enough probably.

We're the best team in the NFL. We'll probably get GB in our house for the conference banner, and we're going to smoke them. The crowd will be in a frenzy.

I wonder what the fan feeling here is now because we won the last one easily?

I think this game will be much tougher. We already punked them once and they NEED this win. They are going to be well up for this game.

Plus, let's be honest. We haven't played well at home that weren't the Texans. I'm actually favoring the Rams slightly.
Just need Stafford to keep missing open wrs. That was a big help to the comfortable win. There were about 2 or 3 throws that could have made the game tighter and he just flat out missed them.
I think the Rams defense is going to be on a mission to not get embarrassed again. The offensive line for the Cardinals needs to keep their heads on a swivel... They will be coming for Murray. I also expect their defensive secondary to work extra hard in hiding coverages to confuse Kyler into throwing interceptions.
Hope Hollins is still out. He caused some problems for us last year.

disrespect out of Vegas with Cards opening at -2.5

WHEN WILL THEY LEARN??? we are 9-3 against the spread this year
One could say because they know we are playing at home. :eek:


Would be nice to have a great home win over a good team. Best home win has been the 49ers game.

Can’t wait to see how this team plays under the lights again in a big time game. Feel like the only reason we lost to the Packers was we just weren’t quite ready for the moment yet. They should be now.
The big reason was an absolutely putrid defensive game plan.

Interested to see if the rams make any defensive adjustments. The first game we had 11 completions to RB's or TE's including 6 to Maxx 1 for a TD. It was a major factor in the game if they tried to dial up pressure Kyler just took the safety valve. It was one of Kyler's better running games, and Chase had a huge game in part due to that 54 yard run we popped deep in our own end of the field. So we did lots of things well that weren't the vertical pass game.

The Rams were so focused on stopping the deep shots they gave up everything else
It is going to need to be yet again one of Kyler’s best running games. Outside of Hudson.. they are a + matchup with all starting linemen they matchup against, period. Thankfully for Kyler’s wheels to get some space. Will also need to pound some James Conner to keep them honest (this is where I wish kyler would be under center more for the PA).

Tackling needs to improve as well. Still, in that game, there were too many gaping holes.
Vance is going to have to decide if he wants his defense to keep flip-flopping or not because those gaps occurred due to Chicago hurrying to the line and then all of their pre-snap movement. D-line wasn't shifting fat enough, Simmons was consistently out of position and DBs were flying across the field so fast they were a non-factor in the run game.

Yeah in the pregameskyler seemed to be a little in awe of playing against Rodgers

Cards got chance to sweep the Rams on Prime time to basically clinch NFC West. Talk about feeling like I'm living in alternate reality. Not sure I'm going to have the mental capacity to watch game live lol
Well our last Prime time game.....ugh

That will be absolutely deadly against the Rams.
