Worst loss in Franchise History?

[CardsFan88]

Been here since the beginning and this doesn't even make my top 5 losses.

It might make my top 5 2nd-half collapses though. I really didn't think there would be new ways to lose that I hadn't seen before. I'm used to Petzing and Gannon going into turtle mode but the combo of the Demercado drop and the Rabbit holy-roller is just........ Chef's kiss level Cardinalling.

Kudos to everyone who went out to the game. I pity you.

Forgot the Kyler face fumble.

Waiting for our few decent players to request trades now...

 

[CardsFan88]

Many people have been screaming about needing IOL and addressing that in free agency and draft. (especially the past 2-3)

We didn't. We're paying the price this year for it.

Of course, there's plenty of other shenanigans going on, but much of it seems connected to our inability to block inside.

This wasn’t even a top-2 worst fumble in the 2nd half.

Forgot the Kyler face fumble.

Yeah.... That too. The Face-Fumble-Foot-Failure

 

[HoodieBets]

This isn’t even Kyler’s worst loss he has 5-10 worse ones including all the playoff clinching /playoff game. The second that weird TD happened I knew they were gonna lose. This team can’t get a first down to close a game to save its life. How many times are we gonna punt with 2 minutes left to lose the game.

 

[Stout]

under the circumstances might be.

You have to cut DeMercado and fire Petzing and frankly I'm not sure Gannon survives.

Putting DeMercado back in the game really pisses me off it sends the message to the team that what he did is ok.

I cannot believe we lost that game

Yep and I saw coaches giving him the "It's okay" coddling treatment on the sidelines. It was sickening. Cut Demercado, fire Petzing, and tell Gannon it's playoffs or you're fired. Rallis should be told to ditch the wuss defenses or he'll be fired. Same to Monti. Mikey should be putting his big boy pants on tonight and getting tough. Chances are less than zero he will.

Agree with this though my friend.

Any one of those plays would probably be in the running for the stupidest play of the week in the NFL.

We also had Jacoby come in, throw one pass and it's a terrible pass that breaks Trips leg.

The absolutely gutless playcalling for the 3rd week in a row with a lead.

Am I missing anything?

@602 Native please explain the first play and express understanding why KM makes me want to tear my beard out.

I am very happy I will be at Disneyworld next week instead of spending my Sundays watching this crap team

I will be unable to watch as well, thankfully.

Ultimately...... Coach after coach, player after player and GM after GM....... The Bidwill name is the problem here. Sometimes our talent wins out in spite of that fact, but 80 to 90% of the time, they will not be good enough to overcome it.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

How in the heck was it ok to run the ball on 1st, 2nd & 3rd down of your last offensive possession when you are only up 2, and have allowed the Titans to score TDs in consecutive drives. Those decisions are fireable offenses…if you lose so be it, but to not try and win the game for the 5th game in a row is out of this world insanity. It cannot be defended. If Gannon doesn’t get asked about those decisions shame on the reporters. And if he defends the play calling again he should be fired, and no need to wait til the end of the season.

See that's what I don't get too Josiah.

A minute in the NFL is an eternity, and the other team is four down mode when they get the ball back.

If there's 2 minutes or more, and you're nursing a 2 point lead, you need to be throwing on 2nd and long and 3rd and long.

2-15 - Turbocharged by the worst loss in team history. And tomorrow morning, the same idiots will be in charge with the same KM at QB. Winter is coming (even to the desert).

 

[602 Native]

@602 Native please explain the first play and express understanding why KM makes me want to tear my beard out.

Yep said the same during the game. Also remember that the play before this he threw a 19 yard pass over the middle for a huge first down.

The Cards are done with this OC so I’m good.

Tomorrow we hear Big P Brain is fired or JG just hangs himself by not doing it.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Not gonna debate this…check the amount of points Murray put up after Q1… and while you’re at it, check Murray’s W-L record as a starter… and don’t stop there, check his W-L record in the second half of seasons, or against his fellow NFC West opponents.

Murray is not and never has been a an on the field, or off the field for that matter, leader.
He doesn’t inspire. Doesn’t raise the level of play of those around him.

It is what it is… He’s certainly not the worst and if you’re into 7-8 win seasons, he’s your guy.

I've thought that a lot. WTH is going on behind the scenes that taints everything?

Oh absolutely. That should have been a big gain. He definitely gets kudos for doing the good stuff too.

Yep. A main problem is he won't audible out of those horrible play calls and isn't standing up to the coaching staff about any of it. He's content to run the crap plays.

 

[THESMEL]

Monday night meltdown was worse - maybe one more when our punter tom Tupa was qb at sds, it was like a national blackout - but I was there and drunk

But I don’t want another fans are too stupid to understand the complex system they run presser - I watched Leroy Kelly in the 60sc-.real mudder football in real mud - and understand nuances.

 

[cardpa]

SO this was a trap game.

 

[Russ Smith]

Yep. A main problem is he won't audible out of those horrible play calls and isn't standing up to the coaching staff about any of it. He's content to run the crap plays.

he tried to audible once and Fro hit him in the face with the snap but yes I do agree I would like to see him just say no I am not doing that again and change the playcall on 3rd and 8 when it's a run.

This is rock bottom for me

I've been a UCLA basketball fan as long as a Cards fan. I got so fed up in the Steve Lavin years I didn't watch a game for nearly a year until they fired him. I'm there now with the Cardinals.

Show me you care as much as I do, or I'll do something else on Sundays

 

[TJ]

I’m physically sick. I literally almost threw up because of this.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Perhaps… or, maybe he’s auditing INTO those crap plays… well likely never know.

August 31st, 1997 - the Cardinals lead 21-3 entering the 4th quarter. They lost 24-21 to the Jeff Blake led Bengals.

In my 30+ years of rooting for this pathetic franchise I always think, after every gut-punch loss, that maybe, just maybe it will be the impetus for real change. But it never is. Would be awesome if we could look back in a couple of years and realize we truly hit rock bottom today, but that’s a fantasy. The curse of cheering for this squad is that we’re condemned to do something like this again. And again.
