Is this the best 2-5 team ever?

[BritCard]

Granted, it's like saying "That was the best dumpster fire ever" but serious.

In the 5 defeats we have a total point differential of -14. We may be the only 2-5 team in history to only have a -2 point differential on the season.

There's no one issue. Bad QB play earlier in the year. Defense not being able to get stops when needed (that 4th down last night was brutal). injuries have been a factor, especially Conner, I think we win the last 2 games with Connor in the team. There have been some bad coaching decisions too. There's no part of the team that's performing as it should consistently, but also, none of them are terrible.

I don't think any opponent looks at this team as an easy game, which is saying something for a 2-5 team. Nobody that's played us has had an easy game.

I know the record looks gloomy, but this team is genuinely 5 plays from being undefeated. A single pass completed or a pass defensed in each game it's the difference. It's the weirdest season.

They’re also genuinely 2 plays from being 0-7. Hang the banner.

Absolutely. Every single game has been one play. In this game alone not making our 4th down conversion, their 4th down conversion, going for it on 4th down instead of punting and making them go the full field when their offense was poor. Letting them get 22 before half time to kick the FG.

Any one of these goes our way we win.

But seriously, does anyone have Stathead access because I'll be amazed if anyone has had a better 2-5 score differential.

Is that like saying, he almost escaped the blast.

You play to win the game!

i was thinking about this last night - if we can add an insane 2026 draft to this roster..

 

[CardNots]

i was thinking about this last night - if we can add an insane 2026 draft to this roster..

because we have proven success doing this?

And then a new locker room!?!

Only Cards fans talk like this.

“The best 2-5 team”

Holy crap you people have low expectations.

Winning is all that matters in sports and mainly in life as well.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

because we have proven success doing this?

no - just from a pure talent perspective- I don't know if we're the best 2-5 team ever but i do dare say we're better than our record says we are - and i know that phrase doesn't fly here

At 2-5 there are NO moral victories!
Just win!
Nobody else cares!

It's a serious question.

You're a weird dude. You absolutely hate the Org, but can't stop praising the worst thing about it.

Nobody is saying otherwise. I'm just asking the question.

 

[DVontel]

I don’t ever see him praising Bidwill?

 

[Mulli]

The answer is pretty much no.

 

[JosiahLee]

No, the Ravens at 1-5 would fit this narrative better, bc once Lamar comes back they will actually win games.

 

[Oklahoma Card]

I agree that good teams win the close games (i.e. Kansas City). Results prove that we are not a good team. We have lost 5 straight one-possession games. That said, it does feel like we are getting closer. We are literally 5 plays away from 7-0 and that is encouraging to me.

 

[Chopper0080]

I am a little bit of the sucker as I have bought in to the Cardinals winning these games in the 4th despite knowing them is their MO.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

if we can add an insane 2026 draft to this roster..

Who is in charge of the drafting? The guy who had 6 picks in the first 100 of the 24 draft and acquired a bunch of crap?

The guy who can’t figure out how to revamp a locker room?!

i don't see a bunch of crap on the field - i see a bunch of crap wearing headsets and official team gear

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Another way to say it: Is this the worst coached good team ever?

 

[ASUCHRIS]

i don't see a bunch of crap on the field - i see a bunch of crap wearing headsets and official team gear

Their top 100 picks included No. 4 (Marvin Harrison Jr.), No. 27 (Darius Robinson), No. 43 (Max Melton), No. 66 (Trey Benson), No. 71 (Isaiah Adams), and No. 90 (Elijah Jones)

Wanna compare this to a Rams draft?

If we are starting all over with a new coaching staff and rookie QB, I would not expect much success next year regardless of how good the draft is.
