Have The First Six Games Been A Self-fulfilling Prophecy?

[Brian in Mesa]

Ever since DHop was suspended the narrative from the GM, head coach, QB, and other players, (and even many fans) has been "If we can just make it to 3-3 without DHop we should be fine."

That kind of thinking is contagious and it shows. The entire team - especially the offense - seems to have no sense of urgency. We are a team limping to 3-3. As predicted.

Yet another example of a poorly coached football team.

Can you provide a link to Keim, Kingsbury, Murray, or any other player saying anything of the sort?

Burns speculates on this briefly at about the 24:00 minute mark.

Burns and Gambo: What is Cam Johnson's worth - Burns & Gambo

Burns and Gambo ask will the Phoenix Suns be able to keep Cam Johnson in Phoenix. The Cardinals offense could put on a show Sunday against a uncharacteristically weak Seahawks defense, so what should we expect from the Cardinals offense Sunday.

Holy Crap BIM. I listened to about 30 seconds of that garbage. You can't lend one once of credence to anything those clowns "speculate" (your words) on. I heard Murray honestly say, yes we cant wait to get Hop back, but we have to focus on the players currently on the field.

Does that stuff POSSIBLY go through the heads of the GM, the players, the coaching staff, our QB? POSSIBLY. Every human can think on subjects like that, without actually willing them into reality. Every one of us has doubts and negative thoughts. I havent heard one voice inside the org say anything close to what your speculating on.

I just don't think it is a stretch to believe that many involved with the team feel that the season will really begin once DHop is back. All they talk about is how different they play when he is there. Kliff said, "everyone elevates their play when DHop is on the field."

Shouldn't be so reliant on one player to make things better, IMHO. Especially when that player has now missed nearly a season of his time here (14 games including the Wild Card playoff game) due to injury and suspension.

They’ve definitely banged that drum on state radio, 98.7. Almost every broadcaster there, including Wolf, the literal team mouthpiece have repeatedly thrown that 3-3 record out there.

That’s on the HC to even allow this kind of belief! Should have an offensive scheme and be able to field a competent offense minus one freaking WR, just shows KKs complete failure as a HC imo. To be this disfunctional only missing one player is a total joke!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Based on our record with and without Hopkins, I completely believe it.

Not saying I don’t believe it, just a glaring indictment of KK and his offensive genius…

 

[BigRedRage]

if the org itself actually said "we are screwed over one WR" it would be a big problem. I havent seent he org themselves quite say it like that.

This should be an eye opener for Kyler.

We have seen a number of his supposed peers play better than he has with much less over the years. Kyler has to play better. He doesn't really have any excuses.

I'm really not sure why this is seen as such a negative. Some players are gamechangers and really do make a difference. Being 3-3 considering our home schedule and difficulties, coupled with the softness of the NFC as a whole this year should be seen as some sort of positive, no?

"It doesn't matter who we have out there, I have full confidence in our receivers, whoever they may be, that we can go out and win the game"

- Kyler Murray like a week or 2 ago when asked about WR health

We are 3 and 3? Hopefully, we “will” be.

I don't really enjoy Dr. Phil type analysis of football players and teams. Got my fill of that "reading between the lines" and "body language" crap from Mitch.

Anydody know much his cap space was gained by his suspension?
