Cardinals at Eagles gameday thread 12-31-23

No you didn't. You lost to a young team with a young coaching staff, and a roster short on talent. But it's a team on the rise, that can already bite you in the a$$ on any given Sunday, as you found out today. Meanwhile, the Iggles are in freefall, worst 11-win team in NFL history. Enjoy watching the rest of the postseason from your couch after your one-and-done wild card appearance!

Is this a young team? I don’t think I’ve seen that anywhere.

What about the 5’7” 165 pound elephant sitting in middle of the room?

Of course I’m referring to Greg Dortch! He had another huge game so what do we do with this guy?

Is he being underutilized as a backup, or is his role on the team perfect?

It was mentioned on yesterday’s game broadcast we had more rookie on field hours far more than any team in the league. Take it for what it’s worth…

The even bigger question...why wasn't he used more earlier in the season? He had 2 targets in the first 10 games this year.

He JUST MAKES PLAYS.

I can’t recall the last time (if ever) that happened?

Per Darren Urban: "It's the first time the Cardinals didn't punt in a game since Nov. 26, 2006 in Minnesota – a day in which Matt Leinart threw for 405 yards. The Cardinals lost that game, however."

Coming into the season, the Cardinals were 20th youngest, but I think they've skewed younger as the season has gone on.

Rook is coming on strong to finish the season.

He was outstanding yesterday. Easily his best game IMO.

I don't know what they use for the ratings, but if a team put 450 offense yards and 220 on the ground your best rated offensive linemen cant just have a 70.3 rating

The Gannon Effect. JG took Reddick, who came off of 2 decent seasons and elevated his game to another level in 2022. In 2023, Reddick is back to having a decent year, similar to 2020 and 2021.

Exactly. It is what you want your coaches to do, elevate your player's performance regardless of their talent and skill levels. It is what McVey does with the Rams.

Jesus. Figures. Only the cardinals.

[phillycard]

He has to be loving it

I'm just getting my voice back.

 

[phillycard]

Aye I’ve done a full 180 on JConner the past 2 years. Hated Keim resigning him but man he has been awesome.

Right!!!!??

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Right!!!!??

Definitely has shown heart and dedication

He runs hard and gives 100% on every play

He has impressed me

See, that's where he's wrong. He's ON the worst team in the NFL. TRASH!

This is why I take PFF with a grain of salt.

I don't believe it is a coincidence the Cardinals have played so well against NFC East opponents.

Reminiscent of the way B.A. beat up on the AFC South his first year in AZ.
