Yes,

yes, the playcalling creativity has been lacking.
That's a understatement. It seems that the only plays that are kept from the 17/18 playbook are the screens on 3rd and long. I want to see the double slant in the redzone again. That play always worked.

People really need to remember. This week's matchup only differs in play location. I've been saying for weeks that the Rams/Hawks were the most likely matchup (3vs6). Without the 12's the home field won't be such a major factor. The Rams know how to beat the Hawks and IMO it's a good matchup for them.

If past trends can be good news, the previous two times Pete Carroll and the Seahawks beat Sean McVay (2017 and 2019), we responded by beating them 42-7 and 28-12.

Yeah, Kupp used to catch two or three balls on shallow crosses or gaps in the zone between the hash marks, but I hardly see that anymore.

And? Has Higbee ever produced like Kelce?
Kelce's worst season as a pro far exceeds what Higs produced in his very best season....
Actually...Higbee had a nice stretch at the end of last season when we were featuring him as a prime receiver in 12 personel.
I think he had 3 - 100 yrd games in a row.
Higbee can take a larger role in the passing game and its something that I'd really like to see.
I have always preferred him over Everett.

The Dean of AZ sportswriters wants Kingsbury's head on a platter...


Ohhhhhhhhh @DVontel you keep viewing but not posting? Didn’t we have this talk since draft of 2019?

The midgets body won’t be able to hang and now it’s come to fruition. Same as the offense is easily diagnosed and solved with a top tier Defense after a year.

Just curious your thoughts on those Cardinal colored glasses you been living in the last 1.5 years...

ps happy New Year’s!

I saw today multiple teams asking to interview Staley after the season. He's a superstar and I have a hunch we'll lose him.

With the #1 ranked defense in the NFL in 2020, we have to make a serious run in the playoffs. The plays our guys make every game are amazing and it's been a joy to watch AD, Jalen and the crew dominate the way they have this year. This is the best defense we've ever had.

I like Higbee. But he’s not in Kelce’s universe.
again, last year was his best season by far. And yet it pales in comparison to Kelces worst season

I'm not saying Higbee is Kelce, but Higbee can produce when called upon.
Hea proven capable of putting up big numbers when given the opportunity

Where did anything I said come across as an attack my goodness. The discussion was about our receivers and having a deep threat!

We have almost all been saying this for the entire season and now because our backup QB completed a couple passes over 20 yards we have deep threats? Everybody is happy about winning yesterday but this one game doesn’t change the makeup of our WR group, there is not speedy deep threat no matter how many passes over 20 yards we complete. I’m not attacking any fans or players in saying this I’m simply repeating a sentiment that is very widely held around here.


I was expecting mostly just a lot of bleating about how McVay is actually the owner of the Cardinals franchise not this wholesale blow-it-up-and-start-over stuff.

I like Higs. But that 4 game stretch was a goof. He never did anything like it before that, and nothing remotely close since.
Its like the Brian Quick syndrome. He's a decent receiver, but nothing more.
This conversation began in reference to KC not having any big receiver that can go get it, Kelce goes and gets it every game. Not 4 games out of 78...
Not slamming on Higbee, he just aint that guy.

If Wolf got the reps what would he look like a year down the road? It was the most exciting Rams game in quite some time.
