oof too soon

 

[football karma]

loving the idea of going on the road to play a team that just got embarassed

 

[DVontel]

I think we win this, tbh.

Baker won’t play & Bucs are in free-fall.

A loss obviously won’t be shocking in the least, though.

 

[JohnnyCakes]

It would be so Cardinals to go into Tampa and win thus destroying their draft position

Are they free falling more than the Cardinals are

Are they free falling more than the Cardinals are

Based on recent years and expectations? Absolutely.

 

[Russ Smith]

At this point Nolen's knee is what matters to me and I want to see Benson and DeMercado come back because the team needs to find out if they can be counted on next year or if they need a RB.

Hip oblique. Tricky injury that could linger.

in that case don't play Nolen. Seemed like a bit of a dirty play too guy undercut him when it was pretty clear he was going to score.

I mean, Nolen was inches away from not scoring. Wasn’t THAT clear.

Sure but again that hit is so risky going low like that you're putting the guys knee at risk.

Dirty play.

To be fair I'm probably having Eric Swann flashbacks, best Dl prospect we've had since Swann. Swann's career was cut short by 2 knee injuries both caused by dirty plays

Yeah, I don’t get the cheap shot stuff. It was such a bang bang play so close to the goal line and you have a guy on offense trying to make a tackle, who’s job usually isn’t to make tackles, to do so to save a TD.

Screwed up again, Hernandez got the hip oblique.

If Baker is not playing its expected. Teddy Bridgewater is one of the worst backups in the league.

Turns out he's actually a converted defensive player. But he's a RB and KR now. Converted to RB in college not the NFL he's apparently a rookie.

My objection is he dove right at the knee but maybe he figured Nolen is so much bigger he had to go low to have a chance

 

[JohnnyCakes]

WE LOST TO THE TITANS AT HOME. They have one of the worst 1st string qb's in the league.

Nothing is assumed with this cardinal team

 

[az jam]

Cards have a good chance of winning thisi game with Mayfield out.

 

[Zeno]

I was gonna go to this game when the schedule came out, Tampa is just over a 2 hour drive for me. The crap show this team has displayed this season has made me decide to spend my money elsewhere and endure their mess from the comfort of home watching them on TV. At this point I just want the season to end and this staff to be fired so I can have some hope.

 

[Harry]

All the Niners were out and they still lost.

 

[SOCALCARD]

We will be forced to walk the plank at the pirate ship. Those that are lucky enough to be spared will be sold off in to slavery at the nearest island with a Walmart and an Amazon distribution center.

 

[Proteus]

Are they free falling more than the Cardinals are

Nah, they've lost 3 in a row to pretty good teams: the Patriots, the Bills, and the Rams. They have a fairly favorable schedule for the rest of the season if it wasn't for Baker's injury.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

If Baker is not playing its expected. Teddy Bridgewater is one of the worst backups in the league.

Which means he'll throw for 400 and 3tds.

It's "The Way"
