I think we'll find out a lot about our team and coaches tonight!

A win or competitive loss? There's still hope for 2025!

If we get run off the field though? We might be dead men walking. Even supposing we could get to 3-2 the following game against TEN.

Please please please K1, DP, MMH, JG, BB, JS MWSr.. please bring it tonight!

I thought this Warner segment on PHNX yesterday was really interesting. When they ask him if Kyler should be forcing the issue to get the ball downfield. Warner says he wasn't afraid to do that. He may have had an interception or two. But it was worth it to put the fear in the defense and keep them on their heels, which opens up the field. On the flipside, defenses are playing Murray downhill, which shrinks the field. So he has to take the checkdowns. That was my big takeaway. Murray - defenses playing downhill on him. Warner - teams played him on their heels.

Watched Gruden's 1 hour preview of the game.

All it did was make me feel like the Cards are going to get crushed.

Essentially they have the #2 defense, and our offense sucks, and they have a good passing game and Njigba is going to smoke our 4th and 5th string corners who have to guard him.

if we play the same conservative way we've played in the first 3 games seattle's lead will grow as the game goes

We'll need an inspired effort tonight so I suggest the following. A pre game speech to the troops by our General (mgr) Monti, and he might want to borrow the following from another famous General.
"Men, you are about to embark upon a Great Crusade, towards which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the football world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of Cardinals fans everywhere march with you. We are sure you will bring about the destruction of the Seahawk team and security for all Arizona fans in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one .Seattle is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. They will fight savagely.

But this is our year, 2025, and much has happened in the last few years. We've increased the size of our forces through the Draft and have won a couple of battles leading up to tonight. Our Home Fronts will gives us an overwhelming superiority in the stands. And on the battle field our air forces and ground forces will prevail. The tide has turned as we march together to victory!

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill on the playing field. We will accept nothing less than full victory (no ties)!

Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of the football gods upon this great and noble undertaking.

Gruden is severely underpaid if he has to talk for an hour about these two teams. Poor guy. I skimmed it and knew before the end who he was going to pick.

Kurt is the consummate nice guy and will never just throw a guy under the bus...but his statements in this interview were pretty damning of The Petzing.
Not using his players to their strengths.
Not keeping his QB on time.
Not designing plays to maximize the talent.

That was probably the harshest critique I have ever heard from Kurt

I know that Kliff and Kyler had their differences but the Lion definitely positioned Kyler as one of the most electric talents in the entire league.

Poopzing has dropped Kyler into the Cousins/Dalton tier while also going 13-15.

the diff to me was:

Kliff's (and Bruce Arians, fwiw) approach was "here is how we attack the defense"

Petz feels like "we will take what they give us"

offense in reality is a balance of the two, but it sure seems like philosophically and tactically -- its way too far in the take what they give us side.

I’d rather attack all day… I absolutely love the Detroit Lions culture regardless of schemes
