Arizona Cardinals @ Indianapolis Colts Pre Game Thread. 10/06/25-10/11/25

We will end up being just good enough to not be terrible to get a franchise player. We'll finish 8th or 9th in the NFL Draft order and get another Isiah Simmons.

No worries, that won't happen. This team is well on its way to securing a top 3 pick.

That OG will be an OG. Too bad his calf injury will hold him of of the first half of the season

 

[Phrazbit]

Before the year, despite expecting us to be extremely mediocre, I looked at these first 6 weeks and thought we had a real chance at jumping out to a 5-1 start... now, I fully expect that to dwindle away as the scheduled tightened up a bit and us to sweat a wild card spot or .500.

We're gunna get drilled this game. I don't see how it doesn't happen.

I thought there was no way Gannon's seat would do anything but heat up this season, no matter how bad we looked... like the wheels would have to fly off, a perfect storm of failure... and we're right there on the brink.

 

[cardpa]

Yes! Let's get Franklin fired. This is the way!

There is already talk about a mutual separation between Franklin and PSU. His time at State College has run it's course. If they fire him, it's a $50 million buyout. If he resigns, then it's been said it will only be a $2 million settlement.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Feel bad for you Stout. At least I get to watch Ohio State to offset the Cards.

Don't know that it matters. We've been in good spots before in terms of the draft and just can't seem to get it right. The issues are (and have been) at multiple levels in this organization. Bidwill is either inept or content with mediocracy at best.

Colts game is the crossroads for this team and this year. How will they respond after the collapse of Titans game. Spiral down the drain and quit, or rise up and play four quarters of competent football.

Even if the Cards didn't collapse against the Titans, I still don't think they'd beat the Colts.

I’m sorry, I’m a Cards fan. What do you mean by “play four quarters of competent football?”

Well said. This games defines us. We either are resilient or truth be told we suck.

Dude… they’ve played near 1/3rd of the season and every game looks the same and I’m afraid the game you just saw is the game that ultimately defines us. That was the nail in the coffin for this regime and everyone associated with it.

Everything after is just dirt further burying the box.

You are probably right. But what’s the mindset if we go in and beat Indy after what happened Sunday?

Bad teams can sometimes pull off upsets.

pattern the says cardinals will show up enough to get our hopes up and then it all blows up - we are in groundhogs day where every game we lose the same

I feel like last game was likely a back breaker. I think we're gunna get bulldozed.

Sun shine’s on a dog’s ass…

Yep, pretty much every next game becomes a crossroads game for the Cardinals.

We just aren’t going to cross that road this year.

 

[Chopper0080]

This should be a week where Jonathan Taylor goes bonkers. But because he’s on my fantasy this will be the outcome:

Cards will crash on him but let everyone else blow up on them so it’s a lose-lose for me.

You know it.

Cards need to lose out. Remove all shadow of a doubt about what needs to happen. Get rid of the gutless coaching staff.

I was going to say this. It's actually a really good matchup for AZ on paper. Cardinals have been very good vs the run. Colts want to run the ball. Also, NFL teams have a trend of playing well after national embarrassment. It's the Cardinals, but I bet the Cardinals +6.5.

I don't know if I could be more out on Kyler, but if this keeps him from playing...I would be more out.

 

[some dumb guy]

Can someone please explain to me why getting hit in the face by a snapped football ends up with a foot injury?? Maybe I missed something

The foot bones connected to the.... Oh wait. Never mind.

 

[BirdGangThing]

petzing needs to play four 1st quarters - it's the only time he's an nfl caliber offensive coordinator - im not joking - petzing also needs to limit his formations to not broadcast our intentions - teams know when he's going to run same way we do - this is something gannon seriously needs to work on - have him sit on the other side at practice and see if he can guess what petzing is going to run - i bet he can

 

[Card'em]

A season that started with the hope of being a playoff team has been whittled down to the hope of playing "competitive football" against the Colts. Never mind winning a game against a top team, but just hope to stay on the field with 'em. Oy veh, another Cardinal season over by mid-October.

The draft

It's all we have

And to top it off we draft poorly
