Cardinals at Saints.... opening weekend... official game day thread!!! 09/07/25

[Proteus]

Defensive line is freaking garbage

And they were supposed to be a strength of the team.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

The only thing worse than the defense is the board speed today

 

[Harry]

They’ve obviously worked on Rattler to get rid of ball quicker. I

 

[Minski]

Again no one is getting in their backfield on runs. Their RB meets our D 2 yards downfield

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

if we don't hit rattler soon... im freakin dyin ova hee

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Hoping the defense can hold here.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Hoping the defense can hold here.

And they do. Saints have to go for a field goal attempt

 

[Minski]

Finally some pressure

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

rattler: 3 second drop - have two guys run by our 1 linebacker from each direction - hit whoever open

 

[BullheadCardFan]

All tied up with 5 minutes to play in the first half. Where are those people that said we are going to beat them by a huge margin?

The Cardinals always play to the level of their opponent when it's a weak team

 

[pemory09]

D has looked weak.. we look extremely weak on both sides of the trenches again and extremely slow on both sides as well.

You mean today or historically???

 

[Russ Smith]

not getting enough pressure on D and the OL is giving up too much pressure.

Sweat has been in there a couple of times but nobody else really has

 

[Harry]

They need to play Burch. Is Collins even in the game?

 

[speedy]

Can you play in the NFL when you’re 12 yrs old? Asking for the saints kicker

Sitting on the couch watching?

He’s out there.

 

[TK421]

Would be awesome to get a 4:58 minute TD drive!

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

shows up on camera right after the play

 

[ajcardfan]

Rallis has been really conservative in his defensive play calls. Rushing four and playing zone, hoping Rattler makes a mistake. The problem with it is they are running the ball adequately and we are not getting home with four. Although the last two plays we finally got him off his spot.

 

[slanidrac16]

It’s going just the way I thought it was going to go.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Let's see if the offense can respond. We really need points on this drive

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

i told everybody - first game - early game - road game - take your heart meds

 

[Proteus]

Let's go offense!

 

[Shane]

Bad throw

 

[Shane]

Another bad throw
