Imagine losing 13+ in 3 of the last 4 seasons!

We'll go for gold when 18 games roll around.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

It remains criminal that Monti trashed a full season

And still remains employed, in spite of 2 of the worst 3 seasons in team history. Not a serious franchise.

It remains criminal that Monti trashed a full season

And that the mouth of Sauron on 98.7 is basically giving him a free pass to do so again in his FOURTH season.

 

[Chopper0080]

Yo high key I’ll put money on that

Wait until after they get rid of Kyler. You probably get better odds

Because that’s what loser do.

Ugh…this season is going to test me.

You ain’t alone, brother. There’s strength in numbers and misery loves company. And im afraid there’s gonna be a lot of both.

(Side note… just for the record, I DO LIKE the Lafleur hire. I just think he’s being set up to fail out of the gate.)

The absolute crap being shoveled our way from management of late has tested the resolve of many a long time Cardinal fan. I'm loyal to the team and the fan base, but absolutely hate management.

I'm ok with LaFleur. Everything else that has happened, not so much.

Time to start betting against the cards/banging overs

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I'm calling it here first. I'm taking the over on Cards 4.5

 

[Stout]

I'm calling it here first. I'm taking the over on Cards 4.5

I'm waiting to see who the QB ends up being first.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

I'm calling it here first. I'm taking the over on Cards 4.5

5 games or more in your opinion?

 

[Chopper0080]

I'm calling it here first. I'm taking the over on Cards 4.5

Just wait until after they ditch Murray. You might be able to get + money on the 4.5.

 

[JosiahLee]

I’m still stunned at this off season.

It’s beyond unacceptable. How can Monti’s plan be to tank 2026? This will be two full tank seasons in 4 years, with zero winning seasons.

Zero impact trades in four years.
Zero impact free agents in four years.
And only pro bowl level talent has left from Zack Allen, to Byron Murphy, to Hopkins, and yes even Murray.

15 wins in 3 seasons.
We resigned a QB who went 1-11 to be our starter.
Another offseason without one impact free agent.
My season tickets have zero resale value.

I hate what Monti has done to this team and this city.

 

[Stout]

You know, I should be wigging out right about now at how pathetic Monti has been. I think I'm just numbed into acceptance because of the QB situation.

Ha, this is all of Cardinals fandom year in, year out.

 

[Goldfield]

Im definitely leaning dark side lately. But for me I won’t waste my time crying about things I’ll just tune out like I’ve been slowly doing for years with this team.

 

[Carolinacacti]

I'm just wondering if LaFleur is on board with all this BS. I'm thinking not. And if not they hired the wrong guy

I enjoy the misery with others. I suspect this year will be fun in that regard, tons of crapping on the team.

Yup, agreed. I’m gonna get a ton of laughs this fall reading these boards when we continually suck and in the worst way possible. I’ll be cracking up throughout and why not? Unless the new HC is the second coming of Vince Lombardi we have what appears to be another completely wasted campaign awaiting us.

 

[vince56]

This feels like the darkest time I can remember for this team, and I’m on the older side now.

Apathy is definitely setting in...why should I care if the team quite clearly doesnt?

Yup poor one out to the zoomers on the phones at Hardy Drive trying to convince folks to renew.
