fun fact on the first three games:

the Cards have faced the #1, #2 and #5 leading rushers from 2020 in Henry, Cook and Robinson

on the schedule for the remainder of the year:

#3 Jonathan Taylor, Indy
#4 Aaron Jones, GB
#5 (tied) David Montgomery, CHI

Yep.
Lot riding on this.

I have great odds on each of them.

If the Cardinals make this a game, they will get top crews more.

 

[Chopper0080]

this game will give us a look at:

is the CB combo of Murphy and Wilson simply "ok" or could it be pretty good?

three down LBs in Simmons and Collins -- can they make a difference in defending, especially in zone?

games like these is why Keim got JJ Watt. Can he make Stafford feel his presence?

For Collins you wish we have seen him flash more in coverage or on the blitz. Which is also a total Vance thing. Send 6'1 236 with 32" arms on the blitz vs 6'5 259 with 33 5/8" arms.

Aikman is a frontrunner for the worst NFL analyst on TV.

While I dont like Aqib Taly's high pitched intonation, he provides good insights on playcalls and formations.

Joe Buck and Erin Andrews are really good at what they are doing.

After this game, we'll have played a third of our road games (3 of 9). If we pull it out, 7 of our remaining 13 games will be at home with a 3-0 start on the road.

We should fire our coach!

 

[oaken1]

Last season we played terrible with our backup HBack at QB against their backup QB.... and despite it all we could have won.
We know we can play with these guys.
We know we can beat Matt Stafford
We are obviously better this year over last.... in nearly every facet.

How do we Cardinal this for an L?

Crap I’m sorry fellas....

Rams open as big favorites vs. undefeated Cardinals in Week 4

Coming off their win over the Bucs, the Rams are favored pretty heavily against the Cardinals in Week 4.

“Sean McVay has never lost to the Cardinals in four years as the Rams’ head coach, winning eight straight against Arizona. Los Angeles has outscored the Cardinals 251-91 in that span, an average margin of victory of 31-11.”

good lord that is beyond ugly… so glad I’ll be on the Beach in the FL. keys during this contest…. Lol

It's not ALL bad:

But the Cardinals look better than they have in recent years, leading the league in scoring, ranking third in yards and allowing the 11th-fewest points and yards in the NFL. Kyler Murray is tied with Matthew Stafford as the favorite to win MVP, throwing for 1,005 yards and seven touchdowns with another 70 yards and three touchdowns rushing.

I do like that paragraph.

 

[Ronin]

Coach Sean McVay said Monday that outside linebacker Justin Hollins, who has two sacks, will have surgery Tuesday to repair a torn pectoral muscle.

As Tyler Higbee, DeSean Jackson emerge, injured linebacker Justin Hollins exits

It was a coming out party for Rams tight end Tyler Higbee and receiver DeSean Jackson against Tampa Bay, but starting linebacker Justin Hollins was lost because of a pectoral injury.

Cant forget this is Jefferson Bowl II

Jets pulled off the upset over the Rams. Van had 0 catches.

They didn't have Stafford though they had a backup Qb. Their defense is close to as good as last year their offense is better despite the RB injuries.

We are obviously much better too with Kyler playing and the Wr situation is much better

 

[QuebecCard]

Well, after touching gloves we can run around the ring, land a few jabs, avoid the left hook, right cross, and maybe, just maybe we're still upright at the end.

How about we just meet them in the middle of the ring and punch them in the mouth, and then see how the bully adjusts?

Which means absolutely nothing this year. Live in the past you will fail in the future. We also use to suck and lose to Seattle. Remember 59-0. Well we have a winning record at Seattle. This game is a toss up period. We have more yards per game and less yards per game defensively. They don’t run the ball very well. We haven’t played a great game offensively yet and avg 34.3 points a game. Lol. We could put 40 up this Sunday I think final is going to be 34-30 us
