Murray has to get to the sticks before sliding...that was brutal. Maturing QB mistake for sure. Hopefully it is pointed out during film.

I mean…guys…KK has the ability to talk to KM via the microphone and say…”Don’t spike it”…we got to run a play here…you did not get the first down…COACH!!! PLEASE!!! 🙏 That would take coach that knows what he is doing. This team will limp to 8-8 and K2 will get an OC that will further mask his ineptitude.

There were mistakes along the way, yes, but I knew this game would be close and the kicker would be important. Even if KM gets the first or doesn’t spike the ball, it was still likely to come down to the non-money kicker. This was not a surprise to me. The weak spot failed as expected. Kickers win and lose games in competitive games. That's not even the point to me Why does the multi million dollar man not know where the 1st down marker is?? It’s precisely the point. We still would likely have needed that low grade kicker to make a clutch FG. He likely would have missed.

Well well well here we are 10 years after I first purchased season tickets and as I have said many times before, and used as an example to help explain my disappointment in pro sports in general. How can an NFL team not have a field goal kicker? I know all the sad stories, but really why would a GM not use a third round pick, get a good young kicker and not have to worry about it for 20 years. This team hasnt filled that role properly for a decade.

I was concerned about both our kickers before the season even started. Both are declining and are becoming injury prone. They have done well in the past but neither one of them is up to snuff in today's game. I like loyalty as much as the other guy, but if you are going to be a winning team, you have to make hard choices. We should have moved on and got the best and perhaps cheaper kicker out there when there was more to choose from. At this late time, the pickings are slim. In a thread before the season started, I said this could cost us a game....well it just did....ugh.

Nothings guaranteed but it seems over time there must be a good young, non injury prone kicker available in the draft. Everyone takes the position for granted until its important. Evan McPherson 2021 5th round pick has more than covered his draft cost.

Signing off for tonight. It was another one of those what the heck games. We could have won, but we didn't. All is not lost, but we need to correct silly mistakes. We do that, then who knows....

what happened to Darrel Williams today?
Found this-
Darrel Williams suffered a knee injury in the Cardinals' Week 5 loss to the Eagles.
Thrust into a co-lead role after James Conner injured his ribs late in the first half, Williams instead made it only one snap into the third quarter before departing. He had three carries for nine yards before going down, including a fake punt conversion. Heading to the locker room with a knee injury rarely equals playing the following week. If Conner can't go against the Seahawks' soft defense, we are going to see a huge dose of Eno Benjamin.

I will say one thing the players aren’t quitting in Kliff yet. He is hurting future paydays by mismanaging the skill set & talent of the guys we have.

Is that the best kicker you can find but really kylers mistake was huge, 1/2 yard for the love of god think. RB62, yep a HUGE judgment ERROR by the $250M man named Murray. I watched the YouTube video again. That late 4th quarter slide by Murray was absolutely unnecessary unless Murray had pre-planned the move to save time and skin. The Eagles were going to concede the first down yardage, judging from defenders positions, but not a QB TD scramble. Yes, an impact was probable if Murray did not slide. A few more seconds would run off the clock with the tackle, and the Cardinals had no time outs to stop the clock because of other decision and player errors. Maybe getting crushed on that play is what Murray feared the most. Did instinct take control? Did his brain shut off? Anyway, none of that matters. The Kicker Ammendola missed a reasonable FG. He had all the time in the world to get that one thing right. He failed. That was the last of DOZENS of ERRORS. Game over. Average kickers miss on average about 20-25% of their kicks. Excellent kickers, aka K Tucker for the Baltimore Ravens, are like Tiger Woods was in his youth and putting at the Masters about 20 years ago -- he was fearless and deadly accurate. Keim can no more find a good kicker in the Draft than he can find a good LB with a magnifying glass.
