What AZ Cardinal Fans are Saying

[Legatron4]

I don’t get why they’re so down? The Rams are not world beaters this year. We average like 24 ppg. This is a defensive team that can win as long as Goff doesn’t turn it over. But I don’t expect a blowout at all.

I got a lot of respect for Cards fans. They are still recently removed from tons of losing and I get why they're paranoid. Felt that way myself at first as McVay pulled us out of the shite.

Should be a good divisional game. Think Zona is gonna get two or three TDs on our defense due to that edge threat their QB brings but the Rams should be able to handle business because I think we're gonna run the ball well and Akers will have a coming out party.

I have a co-worker friend from Cleveland who is a diehard Browns fan. As a diehard Horns fan I respected his stance completely since so many football "fans" are of the fair weather variety. The Cards are essentially where the Browns were a year or two ago where they are accumulating the necessary talent to win but still lack an essential ingredient, perhaps the most essential ingredient to winning. What I pointed out to my Browns fan friend also applies to the Cards scenario: they have to shed the loser mentality by learning how to win, Losers expect to lose and tend to screw up with bonehead plays in close contests when the game is on the line. Winning teams expect to win and step up in crunch time.

The Horns still have that edge somewhat due to Sean's calming presence, even with an OL disrupted by key injuries last year we still posted a 9-7 ledger while enduring the worst season under the McVay administration. In this transitional season, we have one huge OL injury; we are assimilating very young promising talent in key positions, but we have seen enough to KNOW we are capable of a deep playoff run as long as the essential team elements come together NOW with solid focus AND execution.

On the offensive front, Van Jefferson has yet to truly break out toward realizing his full potential. Cam Akers freak early season injury where he fell awkwardly on the pigskin and separated cartilage served to retard his growth as a complete runner with respect to carries, receptions, AND blocking. Cam may very well be the closest player we have to primetime Todd Gurley when his whole game comes together. Joe Noteboom still needs to make serious inroads towards realizing his full potential as a run blocker to become a truly credible backup to our injured OL leader. Jared needs to stabilize his roller coaster seasonal performance and become primetime Jared once more. With positive improvements from these elements and others, this offense can emerge as a dominating force in this late season and in the playoffs. It could help to obtain a tough, football smart, stretch the field wideout who can stretch the opposing defense vertically, but that is a 2021 & beyond issue.

The defensive side has seen DC Brandon Staley emerge as Sean's defensive-minded twin. Rookie S Jordan Fuller has shown the potential to become our top overall safety. Leonard "Pretty Boy" Floyd is rounding into shape as an effective edge rusher. A'Shawn "ARob" Robinson's dominating presence will only get bigger as he continues to round into game shape in these late season games. Darius Williams has become the successful foil to Jalen's shut down CB role. Micah's injury was an unfortunate setback, but one that can be overcome with more cohesive team play. Everyone! benefits by having super disruptive Aaron leading the team with his superb play - even with all the uncalled holds.

Johnny is still Johnny; Jake McQuaide is still the Incredible Invisible long snapper par excellence, and we may have at least a temporary answer at kicker in Matt Gay. Last week's heartbreaker loss to our bitterest rival will hopefully serve as the galvanizing stimulus for the whole team to truly play for each other for ultimate team success.

Cardinals are just a shittier version of the Seahawks. Sounds like Murray is scared of getting hit right now.

comes down to Ramsey vs Hopkins

 

[JRobinson]

I like our Defense against their offense.

Question: Start or Sit Murray in fantasy. Lol.

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

I'd like to see our running plays get stuffed exactly zero times this week.

 

[majrleaged]

lol, AZ fans all

Personally this is gonna be a close game, I'll be really surprised if either team gets a 2+ possession win.

The way I see it, The Cardinals don't have a real running game. That is the only way any team has a chance to beat us now. This is a blow out. 34-13. The munchkin runs in a TD and that is all. They have been over hyped from the beginning. I said they don't win more than 6 games and it looks like I might be wrong, but not by much. Definitely not over 500. All though there is still a strong hope they don't win again.

I hope they lose to us twice but id rather they win some other games and keep the whiners out of the playoffs cuz imo we don't want to see them again.

Unfortunately, I think the Cards are gonna get boat raced by the Rams on Sunday. For the 1st time in a very long time, I have zero optimism.

The only thing that gives me optimism is that we all think we're going to get blown out! Usually we're all wrong haha

Rams don't haven't been scoring a tonne of points but we always struggle against them defensively.

I think the score will be closer than the game deserves. I think we get whooped in all quarters but still end up something like 29-21 losers. Maybe 31-21.

No Larry against the Rams would suck. They pummel us enough at full strength. We need everyone on the roster healthy and playing their A game to keep us from staring down a 3 game losing streak.

I really think of all weeks, we need to hit the ground running in this game. If we get behind early, I fear this team hasn’t matured to the point that they won’t just completely self destruct and get crushed.

Rams just too physical for us. Won't get anything running inside on them. Will force many third and longs that they will feast on. Hope I am wrong. Like others I am still sick about the Pats game.

 

[RhodyRams]

IMO we need to get a fast start and a big lead and maybe rest a few players because we have TNF against the Pats in 4 days

 

[Gandalf]

I try to avoid players that are playing us, it creates too much conflict of interest. I guess it depends on your playoff situation and what other QB you have.
The last two games he has been a disappointing player, so there is that.

If I wasn’t consuming a profusely large amount of beer, I’d grab more...

[Corbin]

Hey what does our resident cardinal fan think? @DVontel You are summoned for a meeting!

Ps What happened to a few of the other cards fans that came to the site? Rather enjoyed a good conversation with no rose colored glasses on either side.

[Mojo Ram]

My comprehensive in depth analysis for this week? Same as last week. No turnovers = WIN

Can we get a clean offensive game please. Cards have no chance if this happens.

[Mojo Ram]

Burning question: Where will the Rams play their home games ??? Are they going to be shut down in L.A. ??

I believe it was Santa Clara county that went into a Dark Ages lockdown. I haven't heard anything about any other counties named that would affect So Cal and the Rams.

 

[Mojo Ram]

The Rams long standing reputation in Cardinals land is alive and well.
