Love the job he's done as HC, but he's called 3-4 bad games in a row now as the OC. Make no mistake, he IS the OC. What is it?

Or is the opposing D showing something different than he expected? He even said that after the Philly game.

Either way he's making in game adjustments and I'm fine with that. It has worked so far.

It's 8-1.


Post of the year.

I'm convinced that some people will never be happy with this team. That's how we do 8-1 and still have 2 or 3 negativity threads posted after every WIN.

I'd say it's more execution or lack of talent on the interior of the Oline. Plays are being left all over the field when I'm watching.

8-1 ain't no room for nitpicking

Well we're the best team in the league on 3rd down there are some head scratcher calls sometimes. That happens with every team though.

With CP out, Arian's job with the O just got a lot harder. I believe that BA has the best offensive mind in football. I'm just not sure why it hasn't been clicking. After the way we finished last season, I thought for sure our O would be putting up 35 each week this year.

I think PA should be mandated to post in his WIZ WILL WIN A TON OF GAMES threads at least once before starting a new thread to bash our HC.

They put up more points than the other team does.

Just win, baby.

Not sure if you are trying to get banned, but really disappointing to see a supposed fan talking so poorly about Carson and Bruce Arians. If you are drunk, go to sleep and apologize in the morning. If somehow you are serious, please cite examples.

As much as I hate HC calling the plays it would be the height of insanity to call out BA for his play calling in az. He's a gambler and supremely confident and his results with every qb in the stable has been exemplary.

Yeah...I have a hard time believing that anyone on this board has enough knowledge to justifiably critique Arians's play calling. We are limited in the running game, which limits a ton of what we can do.

We spent a top 10 first round pick on the supposedly best interior lineman in the draft. If Cooper isn't ready, say so. Otherwise, get the dude out there. We can certainly be content with 8-1, but unless the offense starts to improve, success might be short lived. We haven't smoked anyone, so it is pretty amazing we're 8-1.

Add Bowles to that bolded statement too, if someone is calling out the O play calling then why not the D? They throw everything at the QB and get burned at times other times we get sacks but for some reason it's all working so why complain?

Arians was asked why the run game wasn't working today he said "Because we got our A**es whooped" Love BA's honesty

No his poll thread about who you want to play in the Superbowl caused Palmer's injury in the first place

No one should criticize me for being supportive of the ONLY HC in Cardinal history to get us to a SB. As long as Whiz is still the coach coach at TN, then his final record isn't complete. Time will tell. Furthermore, I'm probably the biggest BA fan on this board. He's from my home town & went to the same HS my children attend. He comes back to York, PA on a regular basis to speak at various functions. I've met & spoke with him numerous times & consider him one of the best offensive minds in football. Trust me, Bruce is VERY frustrated with the inconsistency of this offense. He's a perfectionist & has stated that this offense is operating at less than 50% of his expectations. I'm sure he's stretching that a tad, but he's not happy about it.

I've seen so many awful HC's in watching this team for the past 50 years, that you'll have to forgive me for loving the few that have brought me some happiness.
