    Wk 1 Arizona Cardinals @ Washington Commanders Pre-Game Thread. 8/26/23-9/09/23

    OK, here's an up to date article that will just take you one click. :lol: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bettingpros.com/articles/nfl-betting-strategy-home-field-advantage-2022/amp/ Bottom line: overall, regular season HFA has been under 3 points for 1-2 decades, and has been between 1-2...

    Wk 1 Arizona Cardinals @ Washington Commanders Pre-Game Thread. 8/26/23-9/09/23

    I've written about it a few times... Home teams haven't won by close to 3 points in about 10 years now, and the oddsmakers certainly know it! https://www.arizonasportsfans.com/forum/threads/wk-4-arizona-cardinals-la-rams-pre-game-thread-sept-27-oct-2-2021.446846/page-10#post-4608958

    That hasn't been true for a long time.

    Detroit Lions re-sign David Blough to practice squad as No. 3 quarterback

    That was Driskel.

    NFL's Most Unstable Franchise

    And there's more! This morning's "The Athletic Pulse" e-mail is titled, "Are they tanking or not?" It features an interview with Mike Sando:

    NFL's Most Unstable Franchise

    Oh boy... today the Athletic published the results of a survey of NFL agents regarding several topics, including the depressed RB market, the Jonathan Taylor - Colts feud, Lamar Jackson's contract extension, the future of QB salaries... and "The most unstable franchise in the league". Here we...

    Colt McCoy era ends

    Didn't McCoy have off-season surgery on his throwing arm? Didn't he deserve a chance to see whether he could return to a serviceable level of arm performance before being jettisoned? :shrug:

    Colt McCoy era ends

    FYI, Dobbs is 0-2 as a starter. Blough is 0-7. Driskel has started 10 games and actually won one! McCoy was 11-25 as a starter.

    NFL stadium rankings

    The Athletic had an article a week ago, "NFL stadium rankings: All 30 NFL venues from best to worst". Here's what they had to say about State Farm Stadium (emphasis mine):

    The 2023-24 league year

    Mariota started the first 13 games and was 5-8. Ridder started the last four and was 2-2. :shrug:

    Josh Jones traded to the Houston Texans

    I see the point, but they were going to pick up a tackle one way or another. It's not as though without the Jones trade they were going to be out of luck and suck even more this season.

    Simmons traded to Giants for a 7th

    Heh, @CardsFan88's post came before that move, and I replied before I learned of it. I thought about editing my post, because the trade for Dobbs is the first move they've made all offseason that trades future assets for someone who, presumably, they think can help them win more this season...

    Simmons traded to Giants for a 7th

    Dunno why people keep lamenting Ossenfort "losing" Murphy and Allen. They were free agents*, with no more ties to the Cardinals than any other team. In fact, Allen had more ties to Denver since Joseph is their DC. The blame for "losing" Murphy and Allen falls 100% on the Keim regime for not...

    Simmons traded to Giants for a 7th

    You may be the only person on the planet who thought the Cardinals were attempting a quick turnaround. There are thousands of posts on this board about how they're "tearing everything down to the studs", and yours is the first I've seen to express surprise that they're not really attempting a...

    2023 1st round pick is #6 Paris Johnson

    This is an entirely false narrative. During the 10-2 start to 2021, the Cardinals averaged 31:26 TOP, with over 30 minutes in 9 of the 12 games, over 33 minutes in 6/12, over 35 minutes in 3/12, and over 40 minutes at Seattle! Even during the awful 1-4 slump to end the season, the Cardinals...

    Welcome Marlon Mack

    Looked to me as though he planted his left leg to dig for the ball. It didn't slip but he did kick up a small divot. Then he immediately went down and grabbed the left leg. :shrug:

    Jonathan Taylor demands trade

    You make a good point that RBs are uniquely screwed by the rookie contract structure of the CBA, thus RBs on rookie contracts are a bargain for teams, then get screwed on second contracts since we all know their best years are usually behind them after 4-5 years. If RBs provide so much value...

    Jonathan Taylor demands trade

    For draftees, the first contract value is essentially based on draft position. Draft position is based on perceived value, supply, and demand - and that market says that not many RBs are worth drafting high, hence they don't make as much as other positions. After the first contract, some RBs...

    The Positive Kyler Murray News Thread

    Jonathan Taylor demands trade

    How, exactly, would they do that? The CBA doesn't provide a lot of options. Supply and demand dictates market value. It's not what it once was, but it is what it is.
