Cardinal Fans, you want to win a Super Bowl? You best NOT hope for a #1 NFC seed and a home field advantage. K1 & K2 are best suited to ruin another cities' SB hopes in a given winner take all game in their stadium. Win-Losses don't lie, especially this year.
Let's go back to the 2020 ( I get that no fans were allowed COVID) Players, coaches were allowed to prepare, sleep, live day to day in their home city surroundings. Should be an advantage AGAINST a team TRAVELING in with all of the COVID protocals.
Cards finish 4-4 @ State Farm
Let's look at the K1 & K2 inaugural season 2019 PRE Covid. I understand that its a rookie coach & QB Cards win 5 games total 2-5-1 @ State Farm
This season:
Card's should have lost the Vikes game but they didn't and to their credit, the Cards won a slugfest against the niners and their rookie QB.
Cardinals have had only 2 games @ home where they dominated enough to allow their faithful to cheer a 'Victory Formation.' The WFT game last season and the Texan game this season. Championship teams do this throughout their home field schedules.
Cardinals are 8-11-1 under the K1 & K2 regime @ State Farm to this point of the 2021 season.
The Cardinals seem to bond when they're on the road and display the 'us v. the world' mentality.? They simply focus and perform better on the road under Kingsbury. JMO, but numbers don't lie.
Thoughts?

I kinda see what you are trying to do here..fine it's cool But since 1988 this is the best team we have had(before that I don't care) We got a real shot here as long as kyler don't go out Which is very possible because he is so small and already shows signs of being injury prone At this point I don't think they can change anything...just roll with what we have Kyler and dhop will be back when it matters Without them..it dont matter..we lose

Sorry but in all fairness we lost a TNF game at home to Green Bay Packers on a last second boneheaded play by Green where he failed to look for the ball. And we lost another game without our star QB and WR. We were down to our 3rd string QB. I don’t know of any teams that will win with their 3rd string QB. You might say we shouldn’t have won the Vikings game but would shoulda coulda bottom line is we won.

Or did we just get exposed for who we are? We are a team with good skilled position players who is weak in the trenches. We were thoroughly dominated at the line of scrimmage. That stood out to me more that Colt McCoy's performance. His fumble was a result of the offensive line getting owned and shoved back. The defensive line can't stop the run. On some level, I wish Keim would have acquired another defensive lineman at the trade deadline

I'm okay if the Cardinals travel to Green Bay for a playoffs game in January or even February. That's the best games imaginable. It's the playoffs, baby!

Cardinalsdo is exactly right. Both our O and D line are paper tigers. Take JJ off the D line and there is no one else an opposing O has to really worry about, or game plan for. On O, there isn't a pro bowler outside of maybe Huston. Knee deep got beat like a drum yesterday. There are a lot better LT than him. Cards have a very weak foundation.

On some level, I wish Keim would have acquired another defensive lineman at the trade deadline Our O-line got pushed back because our 'Air Raid' scheme relies on finesse players, not maulers. A talented D-line will always give us fits if they have run stuffers who can eliminate our run game. Our best lineman is our center, and even he isn't known for run blocking prowess. This is exactly why I hate Air Raid to begin with. Some folks may love the excitement of added points, but it's not known to do well come playoff time, especially in inclement weather. Yesterday is an example where losing Maxx hurts us. Ertz is great at most things, but he's not a run blocking TE, and when you're line is as finesse as ours is, we don't have anyone else to help. I kept pushing for Fletcher Cox before the deadline for exactly this reason, but let's also not forget a lot of this falls back on coaching. Our team was not prepared. That's easy to see because we failed in all phases yesterday. We made matters worse with horrible 4th down calls early in the game. That's vintage KK which shows he still hasn't matured. You certainly don't take those sorts of chances with Colt. The only reason I'm not more upset is I felt we were losing this game weeks ago. Rhule is known for doing more with less, and he showed it again yesterday when he out foxed KK.

He’s not wrong. It makes no sense, but it’s accurate.

Glad you are happy Pats on your back..yey Not happy Rim...just astute when it comes to this team. I bumped this thread just to show that I noticed this trend long before the local sports radio guys began talking about it. I'm as upset as any fan here about Monday's loss.
