Terrible loss

[DVontel]

Kyler was really bad

Byron was bad

Chandler was missing the whole game.

We most definitely need Kirk. KeeSean can’t separate from a soul.

Just awful.

On to the next.

Game of mistakes. We turned the ball over and they didn't.

 

[MA Display]

• We have 2nd/3rd string safeties on the field over Isaiah Simmons... that is unacceptable.

• Byron Murphy is holding on every play.

• We are playing soft zone coverage on the Lions' final drive (trademark Vance Joseph judgement when in the clutch).

• We run a BLATANT CB blitz with our supposed "shut down" corner to give them an easy field goal spot.

• We take Kyler Murray off the field on 4th & 1. We then call a timeout. We then commit a false start.

• We run cute gadget plays, despite the fact Hopkins is getting 10 yard receptions at will.

Steve Keim has to be about sick watching Simmons ride the bench and seeing soft zones to end a game.

Kyler Murray has to be livid at Kingsbury for calling needless gadget plays and interrupting rhythm (and having the balls to sideline him on 4th & 1).

Hopkins & Fitzgerald have to be wondering why the hell Keesean Johnson is getting targets when the game is on the line.

Awful game.

This is one of those losses that may very well haunt them at the end of the season.

Or be a blessing in disguise.

I hope you are right, but I don't think so. I would much much rather get stomped by a legit playoff team and get a wake-up call rather than choke away a game to a crap team that won't win 5 games.

Everyone agreed that our ceiling this year might be competing for that 3rd WC spot.....but it was always going to be a struggle and would come down to some luck. This is a game that playoff teams don't lose. If we end up missing the playoffs by a game, we are going to look back at this game and be really angry

theLions will win more than 5 games...

It is important for teams to be reminded that they need to bring it every week.

That's the great thing about it all... Who knows!? That's the thrill of it all... After all..we are Cards fans and in a year like 2020 would you expect anything less than trial and tribulation? We are conditioned for this kinda stuff.

I hope this loss puts to bed all the visions of being up there with the big boys. This team at all levels needs a wake up call and come back to reality. No fire today and the Lions just wanted it more.

 

[AZman5103]

I'll believe it when I see it. I looked at their schedule, and I see 3 games they should win. I think they go 5-11 at best and Patricia is fired

You had visions of this?

 

[Outerlimits]

Team played terrible today. The turnovers need to be cleaned up fast.

This team is capable of having a 11-5 type season. They also could be 6-10 if they don't play better than today.

We can win more than our share of games, but we're not good enough, deep enough or lucky enough to assume this will automatically happen.

We have to play smarter, stop making bonehead mistakes, stay healthier and have 50% of the breaks go our way.

We're not good enough, lucky enough or deep enough to simply "assume" we can be a winning football team.

But I do see enough talent on our roster to compete for a playoff spot if we do what it takes to become better.

Do I think we'll prevail? Dunno. Time will tell.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

The worst part is they don't have the right to over look any team.

We haven't earned that.

We are a below average team that is struggling to put it together.

 

[Garthshort]

As the thread says, A Terrible Loss. And most teams have them every year. What I can't accept is that we went to Keesean Johnson so many times. He was targeted seven times with two catches. AI was 4-4. Doesn't make sense. And to make matters worse, this was KJ's first game.

 

[Rohinaz]

Kyler was really bad

Byron was bad

On to the next.

Peterson had another great game. Kennard, kirkpatrick and phillips played well also. We needed to run more, drake was playing well. Murry just wasn't seeing the field well today.

Isabella had a breakout game.

Kyler played far better running for his life, in his first career start last year than he did today. Loss is entirely on him not going through his progressions. There were WIDE open receivers on every single interception as well as on third down in the last drive. Not to mention he threw 2 more easy interceptions that the Lions dropped.

Awful game.

Kingsbury has to be livid at Kyler regressing back to his rookie season and forcing passes

He should be at the facilities watching tape right now...Man I hope today lights a fire under him.

It happens. it is why it is so hard to go 16-0. The more experienced teams get at winning, the less they should make these mistakes. Pats still lose to the Dolphins every once in a while.

If he is a real one, it will. If not...we will be able to tell. This is what on the job training looks like.

Chopper if you have time to spare, can you make a post later on where this team is at going into game four

I was planning on posting it at the quarter mark. You need 4 games to start really making educated guesses. Early thought is that we are limited on defense based upon our DC and his scheme. Offense is heading in a very nice direction. ST are good. Drafting still meh.
