Titans at Cardinals gameday thread 10-5-25

[ajcardfan]

If the Cardinals were aggressive, I could better accept losing, but they weren't.

AQ Shipley hit the nail on the head in the post game. He said the offense was more trying to run clock in the second half rather than score.

The defense was horribly conservative. The entire 4th quarter we rushed 4 and played a zone. Never tried to light that rookie up with a blitz and play man. On the last drive it was 3rd and 6, I think, and I think Rallis might finally bring the house. Don't line up that way. Inexplicably our LBs, knowing where the sticks are, drop 8 to 10 yards into coverage and the guy turns right around for the easiest pitch and catch for a first down you can ever hope for in the NFL. Then, we play the exact same defense and get ripped over the top. No pressure, no trying to get in his head and speed him up.

It was disgusting.

I know some people will be "Murray, Murray , Murray" like that is the only problem but it's way bigger. This staff blew this season by thinking they had the Philadelphia Eagles out there instead of the team they truly had

I believe we had to work harder to blow this one. The number screw ups we had to make in such a short period of time is mind boggling.

If you got the guts watch mnm - that was some sick crap

Petzing and Demarcado should be made available to the media post game. That's what accountability looks like.

Pussiest QB in the NFL.

I thought he was going to hand it to them and say just please don't hit me. That's as scared as I've ever seen a QB act. Hot potato I don't want it

Cardinals fall apart after Demercado loses ball at goal line for touchback in loss to Titans

Emari Demercado committed a cardinal football sin by dropping the ball before crossing the goal line. His inexcusable gaffe sparked a monumental collapse by the Arizona Cardinals. Demercado had a 72-yard touchdown wiped away early in the fourth quarter and the Cardinals proceeded to blow a...

The play calling indeed was perplexing. They were even content to give the ball back to the Titans with time left on the clock near the end of the game.

Yup, that call made no sense. If you run the ball you still have 2 minute warning acting as a timeout. Just mind blowing again from Petzing.

Thanks AQ for pointing out the obvious. He should visit this site because we’ve been saying this for weeks.

I literally can not recall in my entire life a team not going for the 1st in this situation.. we’ve now seen it done 3 times this year

 

[AZ Native]

The worst team in the league outscored us 16-0 in the 4th quarter. Think about that.

NO

 

[ajcardfan]

IDK why we are doing that, at all. Murray HAS delivered in that exact situation for this staff both of the last two years. Two weeks ago against SF on 3rd down he threw a ball that if Zay actually held onto it, which he should have, the game is over.

It's gotta be the head coach saying "run it" but and burn the two minute warning time out. The defense will win the game like it did against the Panthers

 

[nashman]

Why did we regress this season?

Same idiotic coaching… pretty easy to see at this point! Has anything team in NFL history lost 3 consecutive games on a last second field goal? It would be so cardinals to set another record in futility lol

Nope we set the record today

That was as gutless a series as I’ve ever seen in my life. AND made no sense logically either with so much time and only being up 2. You HAVE to get the first down there or at least try.

Of course we did, this staff is garbage!

Gutless, garbage staff! They have proven who they are at this point, they don’t learn from their mistakes either! 3 weeks in a row you lose the same way it’s freaking crazy! You have to play for the first down, freaking HS coaches know this crap, but not the cards Gannon trying to burn clock when they had all the momentum so freaking stupid!
