Or is the problem Stafford?

He was missing some throws and seems to totally ignore Robinson and Atwell.
Matthew was pressing a bit too much because the Horns was losing the time of possession (TOP) battle. Boom's miscues did not help at all. At least the Horns have an extra day if they need to show up against the 'Hawks.

Deserve has nothing to do with it.
Adding some context for those who don't know...

What we need to do is replace Boom as our swing OT and even draft another as a successor
Yeah man. We are so fucked if we lose either OT in the playoffs. Basically that will sink us. It's a major problem.

So I am mentally prepared that Jackson gets inked and they are likely to add a swing OT type round 3 or 4. There's no way around it I don't think. Then for camp next year we can hopefully have at least a swing OT with good feet on the depth chart to compete with McClendon.

Stafford is part of the problem. We haven't gotten his A game in a few weeks. He's missing throws he normally makes and making some bad decisions. Hell, he rushed that throw to a wide open Higbee. Higbee caught it and converted, but if Stafford threw an accurate ball, Higbee had a ton of green grass in front of him. Stafford just seems off.

This really is it.
When he's on, or off, it really shows.
He's been sloppy and late and it feels like he's just coming in cold.

I know they don't believe in scripting the offense to start but they need to do something that allows for the the whole unit to be on the same page for at least one drive.

@DVontel What are you thinking?

Murray looks really good at times. He fell flat late. I think you gotta give him 2025 with his contract but, he’s on the clock.

What about offseason priorities for the Cards… Where do you see them going?

Boom had an awful game, but I seriously hope that everyone doesn't pin the atrocious offense on him.

Something is clearly wrong with the offense and it's not just NB or weather.
McVay's play calls were terrible too. Plus we can't seem to get any receiver open other than Puka.

McVay tends to make a few head scratcher calls a game but generally he calls good games. The issue is moreso that Puka is our only pass game weapon who is playing well. Opposing defenses focus on Puka and the Rams run game.
