Cardinals at Saints.... opening weekend... official game day thread!!! 09/07/25

[CFLredzoned]

Indeed. Not a lot of viewing options. I’m in the Commanders viewing area and their game against the Giants is on at the same time as the Cardinals’ game. I’ll go to a wing bar to see our contest. I’ll probably have to sit in a corner, viewing the game on the smallest TV in the place. That’s ok. It’s Arizona football and they’re gonna win. Haven’t been able to say that with confidence in a long time, especially for a road game.

That sounds familiar. Sheepishly approaching the bartender to ask him to put one of the TVs on the Cardinals game when there are 10 other early games going on.

Don't forget the pitying looks from the staff when they realize your a Cardinals fan!

And the bartender invariably making a comment about you being a Saints fan

Line held at -6.5 to game day, but 80% or more of the moneyline bets are on the Cards.

Cards and Broncos anchoring everybody’s three-team parlays this week.

Let's goooo!

 

[Stout]

I can remember a time when I could only watch the Cards at Damon's Ribs, I think it was called, on the tiny TV with no sound.

ESPN on my phone shows the spread now at 5.5. I guess because of Kyler's illness.

too early to day drink but the weed.... the weed just makes everything better

@oaken1 or @Ronin can you add today's date to the thread title as it makes it easier to find it when the board gets flooded with new threads on game day

Thanks

Done

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Done

Thanks

Kyler is on the injury report with an illness this morning. I don't think we're going to see a good game from him.

 

[CFLredzoned]

Who do you have for inactives? I got:

Fryar
Weaver
Simon
Burke
Crawford

Possibly swap out Weaver for Thomas maybe.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

ASU crapping themselves just has me unexcited for yet another favorite in the south.

Reality or another excuse?

 

[Garthshort]

With two CB's inactive, I'm guessing Az thinks that the Saints will go run heavy.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I too have benched Murray for Goff. My fear is the score gets sideways one way or the other and they rest him.

I just bet it at 6 has come down a tad. At least I can get a push

Just him being “sick” is reason enough. May be less apt to run not feeling 100. That’s where his value is.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Conner should have a monster day though

 

[HairZach]

You think they put Kyler on the injury report because Gannon thinks he's terrible?

If they dont report an illness they get fined by the league.

The Murray hatred is just exhausting

 

[Russ Smith]

I'm hoping we get a big lead, sit Kyler and then give Benson more work. I'm actually starting Benson, call me crazy just a hunch. We figure to run more with Kyler sick

watching longest yard (remake) to get in that murder mindset - they couldn't decide who they wanted at qb so let's help them out with that - murder the first one then they can play both

disclaimer - i intend to condone violence this season - to bask in its glory - death row 2025 no quarterbacks left alive - and i might sing the nah nah nah hey hey hey goodye song while they're wheeling them off the field but im not a sick man/fan - i don't want to end careers or seasons - im not wishing that on anybody - but i do want to smack the living dog ish out of anything wearing black and gold today

if this isn't your bag - if this is unacceptable please ignore a hippie during the game because im gonna find the line this year - new attitude - i freakin love defense - let's go ******* hunting - let's question their sainthood - help them to be martyrs - somewhere in between atheist and satanist - that's what i want invoked today - lfg

That’s not how I take what he’s saying. I take it as if Kyler goes out there and is terrible then people on here will use him being on the injury report as an excuse? Not that there’s some sort of manipulation by the team.

less than an hour out
