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

[cardinals2025]

Did Josh Sweat do anything

I have a feeling he got doubled alot but I am not sure.

The bigger deal is Will Johnson is legit pissed and motivated for being drafted in 2nd round.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Why can’t you people see Petzing SUCKS! Even freaking KK had Kyler playing WAY better than this ridiculous offensive scheme!

It’s a combination. Petzigs offense and play calling is awful. Kyler still plays like he did rookie year except he throws downfield even less and still can’t identify and burn the blitz.

 

[ajcardfan]

We are supposedly a power run team but with the game on the line we try some cutesy play action against a balls out blitz.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

It wasn't pretty but way better than a loss. Correct the mistakes for next week.

 

[AZ Native]

Very unimpressive.

Nope, but I agree with @Shane about the W.

 

[nashman]

Hahaha, what an awful call against NO. That was a catch.

You guys seem really upset we got a call? Yet when Dortch gets picked up on previous serious we should have gotten an additional 15 and this bs now could not be happening! Bad calls go both ways it’s about time we get one instead of the NFL handing teams more freaking favors to teams over us! They got freaking calls or NON calls all game long who cares if they miss one. They still got more first downs and almost tied it up geesh…

 

[oaken1]

Everyone complains about Kyler’s contract.

The defense has to earn the massive amount we just spent on them.

They just did.

Wasn't pretty but they allowed less than 20 points.
If they do that all season we will be fine

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Awesome I’ll take that victory all day long. We can come out next week and dominate a team. The NFL has so many highs and lows that I don’t care just give me the win.

Exactly. Early game on the road, in a dome of horrors (historically)...against a team with absolutely nothing to lose. Many things to work on and improve (hello interior OL), but take this win and make no excuses.

Was the deep pass to Harrison on a blitz?

The miss to Harrison on the 2 yard line you could tell he hated and it was his fault.

I just know how many catches Mcbride had off a blitz.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Did Josh Sweat do anything

He made me sweat.

 

[speedy]

We are not a good enough team to be above winning ugly.

PERIOD.

The weapons in this offense give me hope.

Some of them.

 

[Cheesebeef]

lol… w.

 

[Russ Smith]

Really dumb play by Rattler on 4th down not keeping the ball inbounds but otherwise he actually played well.

 

[BritCard]

Defence was fine. Any time you hold a team at home to 13 is good. Whoever it is.

Offence sucked. Kyler was the exact same Kyler as always. It's obvious to me that Petzing is managing Kyler. I don't think he has any faith in him as a passer and is calling percentage plays.

 

[Jttsaz]

Whew...Cards don't ever make things easy! We'll take the W week 1 on the road...

 

[pemory09]

Not a great performance. The pathetic Saints gained more yards and had more first downs.

 

[Phrazbit]

Did Josh Sweat do anything

He almost had a sack early that last drive but the Rat wiggled away and ran for the first.

 

[cardinals2025]

Wasn't pretty but they allowed less than 20 points.
If they do that all season we will be fine

Purdy went 17-4 his first two years while Mccaffrey had injuries.

Their defense allowed 16 ppg

Last year he went 6-9.

defense was 28th in pts.

He only had 23 TDs and 12 INTs.

It affects every QB but it may affect Kyler more than most.

 

[CardsFan88]

Cards win!!!! Escape with a win!

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Watching the Steelers blitz 5 instead of playing prevent is what I like to see

 

[oaken1]

Absolutely zero pressure froM this four man rush.

Disagree. They got pressure today. Just didn't finish very often

 

[THESMEL]

Win is a win, go cards

 

[DVontel]

He almost had a sack early that last drive but the Rat wiggled away and ran for the first.

Gotta be way better than that.

I felt like he was invincible the entire day. It’s not like he’s playing along side bums either.

 

[BigDavis75]

Disagree. They got pressure today. Just didn't finish very often

I was referring to the drive at hand but in general they were not good. DRob was awful getting pressure.

 

[ajcardfan]

Need to be better next week.

I don't know. jacksonville is beating the crap out of Carolina.

We HAVE to take advantage of this early schedule. And we did today, getting a W and not playing out best .
