to be fair, as bad as we think we are.. We know Arizona would try to gift us a win even if we looked horrific. Don't know why but Carolina just has their number for some reason (Outside of Jake's horrific playoff game)

We have to understand the difference between 'losing' as in keeping pace with the other team throughout the game and going toe to toe to come back and win. Not a lot of quarterbacks are mounting 20+ point comebacks week in and week out. Especially the ones who get hailed for 4th quarter comebacks.

The D did play well enough to still win this game. They made a lot of plays. The Cards also had plenty of negative plays and long distances from holding calls. The fact that they were having to hold is a good sign I guess. As far as Rozeboom and Scott.. You have to adapt your scheme if you want to keep them in. Nick Scott was playing so far off the line in his Cover 3 that he already makes no impact. Most every team in the league trying to battle Mahomes are running 2 Deep or Cover 2. Arizona ended the game with 2 deep and man and Bryce couldn't figure it out.

OL got better over time. High snaps are still an issue. Mayes didn't look much better than Corbett but his balls were low enough. Senior Citizen Calais Campbell was owning our interior. The run offense wasn't good but we were also playing from behind the entire game due to early mistakes. Later in the game we were running it decently on first and second downs. The short yardage plays had to be designed with chuba as a fullback to get anything. Defenses seem to know when Rico is about to get the ball. They were on him almost immediately every time. XL not mentally there. He was trying to do too much or not doing enough. The TEs were used really well in the 3rd&4th to eat up dink and dunk yardage. All 3 of our guys were getting looks. Brycen seems like a steal. One handed catch behind him was unreal. That should have been a pick. Renfrow is getting a lot of looks. He's still putting his body on the line too much to catch some of these horrible balls. TMac looked great. There was 1 ball where he should have caught it which was broken up. But pretty much everything else was a big positive yardage play and showing more shiftiness than I thought he would. Defensive line turned up. It took them a while. Getting Princely and Nick in helps a lot too. Keeps the older guys fresh. Both MLBs are awful. Bad angles. Bad play diagnosis. Bad wrap up. No coverage skills. McBride was eating them up. Kyler's big run was from what should have been a sure-fire sack. Need some more energy and beef from the MLBs in this scheme. nick scott... Ransom looked like he wanted to hit someone and enforce the middle. Moehrig still needs to show us something more. They tried to pick on Mike Jack but he started making plays. Don't think they tested Jaycee that much outside of running the ball his way sometimes. The tackling at times was really poor. If it wasn't for Arizona constantly shooting themselves in the foot with holding penalties and kyler being kyler, this game could have easily been worse. Special teams was tackling better after a while. Kicker looks good. The onside kick was crazy. I don't like Bryce. I don't like his playstyle. I don't like what it requires to keep him serviceable. He made some good plays throughout the game. But he also put us in the hole to begin with. I would have liked for Bryce to hit the weight room harder by the 3rd year in the league. I need him to clean up his fumbles. More than throwing costly interceptions, he's fumbling the ball more often than not. He just doesn't have the strength to hold on. Weird that Kyler threw the same lame duck interception as him.

I saw that too. We were killing them in the middle and with the defense they were running, we could continue to have guys sit in the middle and eat up yards. The penalties were helping us accomplish the same thing though. Plenty of time on the clock. The last 4 play calls were awful.

So far this season.. Ejected from a preseason game for no reason Game 1: 10 yards on 7 targets, 3 catches Game 2: -2 yards on 8 targets, 1 catch Game 2: 1 carry for 0 yards Dude's mind isnt in the game. They tried to get him the ball more than game 1.. So it's not like the team isnt trying to get him involved.

I mean that's his college. So it's fair.

His mind isnt in the game. A lot of mental mistakes. He had a bunch of designed plays for him too.

ye. only guy closeby was a cards player playing zone. Chuba was wide open on the right. He just didnt look over there.

There wasn't much good football to see here.

hey the Cards showed up in the first Quarter. They just got gassed and played typical Cardinals football and almost gave the game away.

Dink and dunk and getting our TEs involved almost won us this game. And everyone except for XL in the receiving corps. As well as the defense actually playing better. Crazy to think we almost stole a game from 27-3.

game over. Calais Campbell gotta be taking PEDS. how is this dude still playing

WOW

WHAT THE HELL LOL
