Bend but don’t break defense that is stout in the red zone

i dont know

a couple weeks ago, the Cards were top 5 in scoring, and we all recognized that as not indicative of where the defense was

my pov is "bend but dont break" Ds are called that because they are really mediocre Ds that have had some good fortune in the redzone -- and eventually it catches up to them

i dont mean any disrespect to the Miami D -- but history has shown that yards and points are pretty closely related, so some reversion to that is likely in order

Wat

they’re 21st in red zone defense

and we have the 5th ranked rz offense

You’re right. Glad I was wrong. Go Cards!

Hopefully the football gods come through yet again & Bausby is the Justin Murray equivalent of last season. Im sure most of us are not in hurry for Sweezy to take his starting spot back

Sweezy is not taking back his spot. The extension for Murray was done because they already decided he was going to be a starting guard.

If Miami wins this game our records would be tied at 5-3.

We can not take them lightly.

It's a must win IMO so we can be contenders and not pretenders.

I'm looking forward to this week's game possibly more than any other.

Good test for Kyler against a defense that give multiple looks with two good outside corners. Good test for Kliff against a smart defensive team that's well organised.

Will tell us where we really are as a team.

yes-- but something odd is going on there

28th in yards per game surrendered
28th in yard per game rushing
29th in rush per attempt
....
8th in points

They can definently be had

A defense can only bend for so long.

Cardinals offense are too dynamic not to break it.

Another defensive breakdown of our D vs the Seahawks. Worth a watch.

Oddly the promoted Whittaker and not Amukamara when Vance was suggesting he was close to playing

I'm sure that our guys have heard that we are top ten in offence in the league , well you are not as good as your last game , you are as good as your next game in the NFL ! Vince Lombardi once said No team ever wins a game one team will lose the game , Cards , less bring our A game and win this one !

Laying an egg would be really disappointing.

Kyler Murray post-game: "We came out here and laid an egg."
