Defense is bad, too.

Cardinals' defense now almost last in league

The Cardinals allow only 2.5 fewer points than the woeful Detroit Lions’ defensive unit and has given up over 30 points in three straight games.

It doesn't help that they're constantly on the field.

Doesn’t help but not the reason, they have given up more opening drive scores than anyone I’m willing to bet, they’ve been pretty atrocious save a few splash plays.

 

[Red on White]

Our opening drives on offense and defense are neck and neck for badness imho

It doesn't help that they suck to start games either. That puts us in the hole right from the get go.

We’re 14th in the NFL at TOP averaging just over 30 minutes of possession per game. They’re on the field constantly because of their own doing. 28th in the league at 3rd down percent allowed at 45.7%.

The myth of a TOP discrepancy just won't go away no matter how many facts you provide. It's really bizarre.

Our "best" edge rusher has 1.5 sacks halfway through the season. The lack of pressure without extra rushers is a serious problem, much like many people predicted.

Baltimore signed Justin Houston for under $4 million last summer. He has 8.5 sacks in 6 games this season. At the same time, Keim signed Gardeck for $4 million/year. He has 1 sack in 6 games and 8 total in his career.
