Was on the fence couple weeks ago, not now. Time to go
I’m with you. It was one thing when they were competitive and you can point to a key player to not go in their way. It’s another thing when you get blown off the field by two division opponents in consecutive weeks and set a team record for penalties. The only problem I see is there’s no point in firing him during the season because there’s no one on the staff that can take his place. I also don’t think any good coach will want to work for Bidwill next year so I’ll be stuck looking through the B minus and C level candidates and hoping we strike gold like we did with Arians in Palmer.

Typically I’d agree. When you have so many injuries though that you can’t even practice during the week, send out 15 guys with no game recent game experience and the refs throw 10 flags that had no business existing imo, that will happen.

Every team has injuries. We weren’t even playing well when we were healthy, barely squeaking by 2 of the worst teams in the NFL and losing to maybe the worst team.

Nothing in his tenure has made me a believer.

Every team has injuries. Every team doesn’t have remotely close to the injuries we have. There were multiple teams playing this week with only healthy scratches on their inactive list.

Y’all still want a couple more years of this?
Not sure you can blame the coaching for the crazy number of injuries and the bs officiating today. So, for me, I do want JG & Monti back next year. Without a doubt I do. Cardinals are still playing hard without quitting. Every time we got close, the officiating shut the door on us.

Don’t care, good coaches figure it out and Gannon has had almost 3 seasons to prove he is a good coach and failed. He is what his record says he is.

Monti has to go too as he is most responsible for the lack of depth, but the coaches are also responsible for not developing the young players they have drafted. It’s time to start over, again.

I think you have to look at the season as a whole. Something happened in the off-season where they made decisions to come into it more conservative on both sides of the ball. They clearly blew it with those coaching CHOICES they made in the off-season. They lost some close games, the injuries started to pile up, and the season spun out of control.

Now after two displays like this, there is really no choice. The players have made the decision already.

Not sure what you saw, but I saw no quit in that team either this week or last week. When you lose as many players as we have, and you’re as young as we are, it’s easy to see teams quit. That hasn’t happened with the Cardinals. At least not yet.

Gannon didn’t injure all the players. Gannon isn’t the weakling owner that’s allowed the team to by bullied by officials for decades. I’m not saying Gannon is doing everything needed, I’m saying that we can’t accurately judge him because of all this other nonsense.

Lol… Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

This team looked pathetic before the injuries took their toll and now they just look like the good old laughingstock they’ve always been (but actually we’re already this season after the comical loss to Tennessee).

We have seen the Bucs and Niners have HELLACIOUS injuries all season and not only have they not gotten embarrassed like we have, they have both won 6 and 7 games. Should this team have won that many? No. But to be sitting here with 3 wins and now just looking like the old butt of every NFL joke again, completely undisciplined and now just getting our ish pushed in, with whatever happened with Kyler, we are just a total joke.

Say the former leader of the “You’re An Idiot if you think Steve Keim Isn’t Great” Fan Club.

Lol… the officiating shut the door on us. Are you kidding me with that tripe?

Oh, sure. They run around fast. But I see quit and mentally checked out. Assignments are being blown, there is hero ball by guessing especially on defense. The hitting isn't as intense as even Gannon's first season. The presnap penalties alone should tell you something is horribly wrong.

But it's okay that you think they are trying hard and Gannon is doing a good job. Maybe it is the Universe's fault. Or, like Slayer once said "God Hates us All.". But then it doesn't matter who the coach is. Or the QB or the GM or on down the list.
