Falcons at Cardinals gameday thread 11-12-23

Good news - with today's victory everyone will be spared my hot takes regarding Froholdt - so you can thank Kyler Murray for that

We're getting 100 yards from the TE position TODAY!

Called it.

We ran the ball a fair amount and threw the ball deep so nope it is no KK's offense

Played more under center (I've broken down those stats previously) and ran out of that formation....under KK the vast majority of runs were from shotgun. Also, getting Conner runs off tackle, with success. Murray looking deep, 1st, then checking down (totally different than KK)...Not relying on WR or RB bubble screens to loosen the defense. Lots and lots of differences than Kliff. Also, how many times did they go empty backfield with 4-5 WRs? I only saw it once, but could have missed a couple others...Under Kliff, that was like a top 3 formation.

People who want Kyler Murray to play well enough to remain the starter but also want to be in position for MHJ

The funny thing with this win - we went down exactly 1 spot so we can get mhj

So much for the #1 draft pick. That's OK since Cards' management would just mess it up anyway. The tank is over.

McBride is now the man, Ertz is gonzo. Nice game by Murray overall

They waited too long to get mcbride going. But I’m glad to see them finally unleashing him with the choice routes. He actually had his man beat on that last play where kyler under threw him. A good throw and it’s a TD.

At this point there's a good chance Caleb is throwing MHJ at Soldier Field.

Yeah they almost had to evacuate the stadium because of his nuclear meltdown on the 2nd drive, but he did settle in after that BGT. Can I call you BGT? Is that cool?

Once the giants destruction is completed, we pick 3 as of now

I don't think the team was holding McBride back. I think McBride's confidence is the only thing that's been holding him back.

And the Bears will still suck.

With Ben Johnson as his HC.

Bears can be a solid team going forward if they get the QB spot right and get a coach like Ben Johnson or the OC in Houston.

It was totally the team. Look at the number of targets per game Ertz got compared to McBride up to the time he got hurt.

In his limited opportunities though, McBride was dropping passes not being aggressive after the catch, maybe in his own mind he didn't feel like he was better than Ertz... At least the light has seemed to go on now and I hope he's able to keep it going..

BGT is muy beuno

Called it.

That was easy to call when he had 98 yards. Lol.

what a great kid. Still got 2+ years on his rookie deal too.

And he just oozes talent. Nine plays out of ten it seems like he exceeds the expected result.

 

[bankybruce]

Cardinals were 1-12 since Kyler tore his ACL. 1-0 since his comeback and even with rust, this offense looked fuuuuuuuuuuuuuun for the first time in about a year.

I think Monti would have traded down from #1 anyway. Who knows where we would have actually ended up drafting.

He’s making plays after he catches the ball too. He’s looking like he can really be a good weapon moving forward.
