Cardinals....Colts,.... Official Game Day Thread!!!!

[football karma]

I think Marv needs to lose that mass he gained.

I have been encouraged by 2nd half of SEA and forward Marv

looks like a legit #1 WR. Probably doesnt hit the ceiling many have hoped for, but still a really good WR --

why are we complaining about him? cause he got a concussion?

 

[Mulli]

at least he did something about that: Tomlinson, Campbell, 1st round pick

lol, ️

Wow, I hate to give it up to myself, but I spoke this into reality.

Guess I'll be changing my avatar catch phrase line thingy pretty soon, because after today there's no universe where I start K1 over Brissett.

It's just wouldn't be fair to the other players on offense, or to DP.

Thanks man, I appreciate your take here. I know there is a tear on your keyboard after typing that.

I was telling my son on the drive back from Indy that you've been a cardinal fan all along, and K1 just happened to go to your team.

Holy Kneejerk overreaction Batman

Nothing kneejerk about it. Last season I was willing to still give Kyler benefit of the doubt - despite it being year 6.

But this year I am watching the tape and there are guys open 20 yards down field and he is still checking it down. Yesterday a guy that is no more than a bottom of the barrel starter comes in thows down the field 7 times over 20 yards and for 300+ yards - despite not having our #1 receiver available for much of the game.

That is all the confirmation I needed - the problem IS Kyler.

If Murray fans have one teeny tiny shred of hope, it's the passing game looked okay vs. TEN in the first half (when Hernandez played), but went back to sucking after Will sat for the 2nd half.

He's shored up the IOL pretty well.

I know, I know. Grasping at straws. Forgive me okay?

I think the effect is real.

If you go back and look at jail break QB pressures in the first five weeks: Isiah Adams is in the mix of nearly all of them.

against two high safety looks -- it takes time to get safeties to move and WRs into the holes in the zone. JB often had time (esp on play action) to get the ball deeper down the field.

that said and per my earlier / diff thread post: Im not sure if Kyler is willing to wait for such routes to develop

Stock Report: Cardinals Again Can't Get it Done

Another game, and another heartbreak for the Arizona Cardinals. For the fourth straight week, Arizona had an opportunity to secure a tightly contested victory, but for the fourth straight week, the Cardinals couldn’t get it done.

Cardinals React to Controversial No-Call vs Colts

Were the Cardinals robbed on their final offensive play?

Sounded like a bunch of guys who didn't want to get fined IMO

Snap Judgments For The Colts Game

Oh yeah man. I've been a fan since I was little little kid. I remember watching in disbelief the MNF 10-10 tie against the giants when Neal O'Shankahue missed like three potentially game wining chip shot FGs. We're talking like 28 yarders. I know you remember that game. No Cardinal fan who was alive then will ever, ever forget it!

But even though I've moved my K1 shrine into the garage, I'm clearly still too emotionally invested in his tenure as our QB1, and it's going to take him being off the team to change it too. Sucks but that's how it is.

I'm still hoping for a miracle Whisky.

You kinda remember that Monday night game. Me too!

The Cards - Giants MNF game that ended in a tie was on 24 Oct 1983, and ended 20-20.

Neil O'Donoghue missed FGs of 45, 19, and 42 yards in OT. Here's a video showing the three misses. The commentary by Dandy Don Meredith and Frank Gifford is pretty funny!

The only 10-10 tie between the Cards and Giants was on 15 Nov 1964. I found a cool article in the archives of Sports Illustrated (back when it was a great magazine!) that made mention of that game as part of a longer story about how the Cards had held off the Browns' planned celebration of the league championship by beating them in the second-to-last game of the year. The Cards still needed to beat the Eagles the following week and have the Browns lose to the Giants in order to surpass them for the title. Spoiler alert: the Cards did win, but so did the Browns, so the Cards fell short of the 1964 NFL championship by 1/2 game.

Interesting information

Strange that this team has been so snake bit for so long

They love to build up our hopes and then let us down hard

It's "The Way"

Ha! Awesome stuff daves! You are an asset to the board man, truly.

Since you're in LA, I'm wondering how you were unfortunate enough (haha) to become a Cardinals fan (I always like to know everyone's origin story)?

I'm not saying anything I'm saying for whatever reason the offense worked better in the 2nd half after Marv got hurt. Not saying it's because he was hurt just that's what happened.

in the first half Brissett was 10-21 for 117 yards. Second half 17-23 200 yards. I'm not saying it was because marv was out but I do think there's something to the idea DaveS and others have expressed that Jacoby probably gets the bulk of his work in practice with guys other than Marv(and Trey) and as a result that may be why he was so effective throwing the ball to them yesterday?

Oh...I dunno.....
Halftime adjustments?

I heard that's a thing these coordinators are starting to do these days....

 

[Shane]

You’re number one wide receiver being out involuntarily for the whole second half is definitely an adjustment lol

 

[Russ Smith]

Like maybe let's not try to force the ball to just two guys but instead spread it around?

Sigh. I grew up in southeastern Pennsylvania and started understanding the game of football in the early 1970s. My dad wasn't a big football fan, but rooted for the Eagles; but back then, the Eagles had stunk for years and hadn't been in the playoffs since their 1960 NFL Championship season, so most of my school friends were fans of the Steelers, Vikings, Dolphins, Cowboys, or Raiders... teams that had been in the Super Bowl recently. I took a liking to the team with the white and red jerseys with the Cardinal on the helmet when I was around 7 years old, in 1972. By 1974, Don Coryell's St. Louis "Cardiac Cards" were on local TV a lot, playing the Eagles, Giants, Redskins, or Cowboys, and on Monday Night Football annually as well. They were exciting to watch and made the playoffs a couple years in a row, and I was hooked!

Little did I know they'd be the second most losing team in the league since I started following them (one game behind the Jets, and tied - for now - with the Lions). If only I could go back and slap some sense into my 7-year-old self!
