Detroit Lions (0-0) @ Arizona Cardinals (0-0) Game Day thread. 09/08/19

[Proximo]

Did anyone notice how our RT played?

Pretty darn good for a waiver wire pickup who has been on 6 different teams. Honestly probably played just as well as Gilbert would have.

 

[Evil Ash]

Schlereth was a lineman (don't remember if O or D), I think for the Jets.

Broncos Olineman for years

He seemed kinda pro AZ in his announcing, I think. Maybe because he had a son, who, at one time, was a relief pitcher for the dbacks s few years ago.

Yup

 

[gimpy]

Broncos , right.

 

[Broseph]

We really missed Alford and PP =/ Also, will be nice to have Gilbert and Crabtree back.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Broncos , right.

Started with Redskins...was one of the last of the Hogs.

At least with Sweezy you can say it was because of extra effort...lol

I just bought the NFL radio stream this morning. I assumed I was listening to the AZ radio feed...wrong?

Murray the RT seemed to play better as the game progressed. And I don't think he had much help.

 

[SECTION 11]

Nice showing by the Lions fans, who were easy to spot with all the empty seats.

 

[Fiasco]

That’s just silly for a rookie coach and rookie qb that finished dead last last year and started the game so awfully. This is a victory. This year was never going to be a playoff season. It’s a learning and growth and development year. This was a major first step.

I need a dose of that optimism. I didn’t see anything today to warrant it.

i found myself keying on him a lot for some reason and was pretty impressed with his play.

man... those first three quarters were just BRUTAL being at the game, but it ended up a complete blast with the comeback and drama throughout OT. I'll take fight, big comeback and tie any day over last year's drek and the previous two year's boring as hell mediocrity.

then you're blind, dude. I mean, I'm usually one of the more pessimistic people here and I saw a rookie QB who could have easily just called it a day engineer one of the biggest 4th quarter comebacks ever. I saw an O-line that looked much better than I expected. I saw Murphy show very well at CB. I saw Chandler Jones continue to be the best pass-rusher in the game and I saw a team that wouldn't quit. I'll take that over the last three years any day of the week.

Let me add the too old washed up Suggs getting 2 sacks.

I only got to see the tying drive and OT. But reading everything and following on ESPN game cast the team was obviously dreadful for much of the game. How you can not see (a) improvement at the end; (b) a resilient team that doesn’t give up; and (c) improved oline play, the rookie cb, and the game seemingly slow a bit for kyler, well let’s just say that I hope not every day is a rainy day in your world.

I think people seem to forget we had exactly 3 first downs in 3 qtrs. Not an exaggeration.

The turnaround in the 4th qtr was nothing short of stunning

He was a pro bowl O-Linemen for both the Redskins & I Broncos. He may have like 5 SB rings.

When you don't notice how he played that's a good thing!

 

[Chopper0080]

The 4th Q was really good by Squeak.

The 1st 3 Qs were really bad by Squeak.

OT was very meh.

So, let's not forget that Squeak was more bad than good in his first start.

That being said, most reasonable people thought it was always going to be a learning experience. If he can learn, Squeak now has something to build off of.

Defense was very up and down. That can be attributed to learning to play a new system with new teammates.

Our offense did not look very fast which was disappointing. We miss the speed that Isabella was supposed to bring.

Nice seeing Fitz bring a vertical element for the first time in a while.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Why were their TE's open all day?

This needs to be corrected or better teams will take advantage of it.

 

[slanidrac16]

too many times when we went 4 wr's nobody was crossing and it was taking to long to develop. Thank god things turned around!

 

[Zeno]

Just watched Kingsburys press conference, he is so much better than Wilks was. Blamed himself for the offensive problems, said he tried to get too cute and didn’t allow Kyler to get in a rhythm. Called the first 3 quarters about the worst offensive football he’s ever seen...have to give him credit, he didn’t blame anyone but himself, didn’t make excuses. That was refreshing.

Great comeback & great adjustments by K1/K2. They’ll have 3 quarters of garbage tape to review & improve upon. This Murray kid is a competitor & will work his a$$ off to get better. We won’t win a SB anytime soon, but it’ll be fun to watch this team continue to improve.

yea he was praising Murray like he was his own. lol
