How refreshing to get a professional crew like Greg Gumbel and Adam Archuleta. This is what a prime team gets. Gumbel has always been top rate and I was very impressed with Adam. Would you have known listening to the broadcast that Adam ever played in the NFL ? (he was a hard hitting DB for the Bears). No you wouldnt. Unlike the Johnson/Talib pair their is not constant ass kissing deference to the playing days of the sidekick. Maybe it's just me but I appreciate who calls the games.
One stat that really stood out for me was Kyler and his completion percentage of passes over 20 yards. He's 60 plus % is way better than second place Josh Allen who is in 40's. That's a WOW number.
Zach Ertz is so much more athletic than Maxx Williams, you can see it from the first catch to his long TD. It will be interesting moving forward how Kyler uses the new toy in his box. My feeling is he's going to be a star here.
I dont have the official stat on it but I'm betting we are leading the league in 4th down conversions and stopping teams on 4th down. Today's football goes for it on 4th down more than ever.
I thought both DHop and Watts would have monster games yesterday. Solid but not the type of "you shouldn't have traded/released me" type performances you often see against former teams. I'm guessing they didn't feel the need.
If the Texans thought David Johnson would suddenly become alive against his former team they were sadly mistaken. He seemed to get a lot of touches but no explosiveness at all. Looks like a lifeless corpse out there.
Jordan Phillips (Robert Nkemdiche 2.0)had one tackle against the Texans. I didn't even know he played. Michael Dogbe? He looks pretty good.
Edmonds is the best change of pace RB in the NFL. He is also the luckiest to play in a system that's spread out and full of passing weapons. Credit to him though for taking full advantage of it. Remember with him less is more.
Anyone else concerned with the vicious hits Kyler took last night? They said he slides better than anyone, but his scrambles where he spins and turns his back to the defense sets him up for those licks.
The Oline really struggled coming out of the gate. Josh Jones is struggling right now. The snaps need more attention. Clean that up before playoff time. It could cost us a game.
Byron Murphy with a taunting penalty after a big third down stop. I couldn't help but think "you punk". Act professional and control your emotions.
Buddha Baker is not running around like a maniac as he's done the past few years. But when do you see him get beat? He's a leader out there and plays solid consistent football. I'd take him over Honey Badger and his drama anyday.
When is the Peanut Butter Falcone going to open it up?
Once a game Isaiah Simmons explodes into a defender and it's a site to see. He's got superstar potential.
Does the Cardinals offense remind you at least a little like the Greatest Show on Turf St. Louis Rams with Kurt Warner?
This is the first Cardinals team in a long time where some element of the Special Teams is not killing us.
I was wondering last night if Larry Fitzgerald doesn't bemoan the fact he never came back one more time. (I'm glad he didn't)
Thursday Night Football vs. The Packers. It's been probably since 2016 when we opened against the Patriots that we have had such a big game. This doesn't happen often, be excited for these opportunities.
This crew is definitely better than Warner and crew x2
We tend to forget that we were the worst team to ever make it to the SB(Seattle took that title from us the next year)
Warners crew got hot for 3.5 games
This bunch would bury that bunch
But we ain't seen playoff km and kk yet...so the story ain't told yet
