Crazy good win but we suddenly can’t absolve Murray or Petzing or Rallis and the defense.
Good teams need to be consistent in a league that is inconsistent.

Buffalo was going to the Super Bowl 3weeks ago. Now after 2 losses in a row, not so much. Same with the Seahawks. Right now it looks like the Vikings and Washington for the NFC championship. Through attrition and other factors that will probably change.

The win was great but until we get to .500 consistently we are in the lower 1/3 of the league. Let’s keep our fandom in check for a while. Let’s enjoy today and hope we can carry this into Green Bay.

Glad we won. Was it expected no, but nice to see a bounce back from the Washington game. What I don’t want to see is a huge regression next week, where we look overmatched all day. I agree no one is off the hook. Need to see upward trend with this team for several games in a row

Was fun to watch, happy they won but ball really had to bounce Cards way that second half - tipped balls dropping in the right places, fourth down toss up, niners kicker injuries.

Cards played hard tho coming off bad loss, good win under any circumstances

First time we have a field goal blocked since 1972 or something. So there were weird plays on both sides.

Strongly disagree. Every victory against the Niners, especially on the road, should be celebrated intensely and irrationally until at least Tuesday.

We're going to the Super Bowl, baby!!!
Exactly. This team is nowhere near being a finished product, so we need to celebrate every chance we get. Next week we have to go to Lambeau and compete against a very good Packers team. It wasn’t pretty, but it sure was fun!!

There's a whole lot of teams that are 2-3 right now so I wouldn't consider us in the "lower 1/3" of the league. We're tied for 2nd in the West with a tie breaker right now, I'll take it.

A heartening display. Hopefully can build on that second half and string a few good games together. Feels like our Offense in particular has another gear it can go up.

Does shine a torch on the previous week though. Even with the talent gaps on our roster we should be putting up better showings than we saw against Washington.

I still think we can win 9 games & be in the hunt for a wild card. Our defense isn't great but turnovers can change things. If our offense can continue scoring & build on that we can play with most any team. We're just a few plays away from being 4-1 right now.

He's right.

You can be both appreciative of a road win against the Niners and at the same time realise it was a generally poor offensive performance and a game we won due to a confluence of moments that all went our way and will never happen again.

The most basic of which is we lose if Moody doesn't get hurt.

We don't go for 2 points that wins the game without the penalty. If the 4th and 5 is a yard in any other direction we lose. If one of the tips falls somewhere else we likely lose.

I'm glad we won, 2-3 feels a hell of a lot better than 1-4, but we won't win a lot of games playing this inconsistently. Not only from game to game, but within games. All teams have swings, but the Cards are wild. They can look like a playoff team one quarter, and the worst team in the league the next.

Do you guys think Robinson will play next week? Also if we go 2 and 1 in this weak division do you think we are buyers at the deadline? Azeez ojulari? ……..

Going for 2 there is a dumb decision every time, just like the 4th down fade play call in the other game. Both worked, but man, really stupid decisions.

It's great we won, but we didn't really play all that well.

We are going to have to be better than that if we want to sneak into the playoffs.
