Blame to go around - - Cards up 24-17 and KM1 throws a perfect ball to McBride who drops it close to midfield. Continuing the drive there would have been key to eat more clock and just another 25 yards sets up to make it a 2 score lead deep into the 4th qtr.
- KM1 - play right before the botched 4th and 1 in Cards territory - our QB kept the ball rather than giving it to Conner who had a wide open hole to the left side of the line. Bad decision.
- See bullet point above - K2 decision to go for it in your own territory when you have control of the game.
- Missed Prater FG -- I knew when the announcers brought it up earlier in the game about not missing a FG this year that he put the hex on the Cards.
- KM1 - terrible 2 deep shot throws down the right sideline. Not much there on the 2nd one HOWEVER on the first one Hollywood Brown had 3 yds separation from #43 (whom I believe is a SAFETY !) -- this was a HUGE missed opportunity. The ball landed 6 yds out of bounds for a very inaccurate throw. KM1 is throwing in a dome stadium and a professional QB (unless your name is John Skelton) should be that inaccurate on a sure TD.
- See bullet point above - I've mentioned several times this year that KM1 for whatever reason is struggling on throws where the ball needs to be 55-60 yds in the air. Is something wrong with either his shoulder or weight shift mechanics ?? Posters might remember the game vs. Seattle (?) where Robby Anderson actually had his guy beat bad and KM1 threw long ... but about 10 yds short and was like a wounded duck for an interception ?

11/28. Just watched the 11/27 post-game presser with Kingsbury and Murray. I was not surprised to see two very uncomfortable men at the podium taking only a few hardball questions. The media knows what is coming the next 5 weeks. Kingsbury knows what went wrong on Sunday. He suspects that he is done as HC and will be moving on to another HC job soon. He is handling the Q&A the same way I would. Be a professional all the way to the last minute of the last day. Murray knows he is out of excuses as QB. He's simply got to man up as an NFL QB, challenge the HC if he does not think a play scheme is right for a defense. Murray will soon be working for a new HC. If Murray is ever going to rise up to the level of a Mahomes and Rodgers and Brady and Aikman, he's got to grow up, be a man, say "No way" to the HC's face, explain the best plan for that defense, and then get to work and prove he is right. Else he's going to always be a HC's lap dog.

I don't think so.. Where was VJ today? I think he's done a better job on his side of the ball than KK on his and that appointing him until the end of the season before launching a search to take over won't make matters any worse for the time being. You wanna keep KK? Thank you for your view. See the Skinny Poll thread.

Yes!...Yes! Cards have one. And Yes! We don’t have a game breaker WR. Nobody can stretch the field with their speed. Doesn't H Brown fit that role? He was behind the defenders when K1 threw the ball long in his direction but unfortunately it was 6 yds out of Bounds! K1 has done this often this year.

My positives are I need to see more of the following: - CB Wilson - last 2 games he has been very solid on both pass defense and tackling
- DL Trysten Hill - good pickup from the Cowboys as he had the highest PFF score of any defensive player last week and had another solid showing yesterday -- NEEDS MORE SNAPS !!
- Rookies M. Sanders & Cam Thomas show enough flashes that they EACH need to get 80% of available snaps. NOTE: Regardless if Gardeck is out for a few weeks with injury or not, MORE Sanders/Thomas please.
- HMMM ... 5-6 weeks ago I pounded the table to see some "A" gap blitzes by Simmons. Well we saw yesterday what can happen when this occurs. Need to see more Simmons pressure packages and LESS playing zone in space.
- LT Josh Jones -- think he can be an effective starting RT for the Cards next year. He is in the low to mid 70's via PFF score for all of these snaps since he took over for HUMP at LT. I am fine for 2023 having Hump - REPLACEMENT - REPLACEMENT - Hernandez - Josh Jones. I am hoping Cody Ford comes back after the bye and can shore up the LG spot but today ... not too positive about this.
Want to see more RB Ingram as a changeup to the pounding of Conner. Seems the running game clicked under a new OL & RB coach - HMMM !

We have crafty WRs with decent speed, but not the type that morph a defense. Of course, part of that is our OL problems. As for the right sideline throws, there was definitely something strange there. I haven’t seen him do that previously.

Yeah I know what you are saying but those Wr's are rare and we have more pressing needs. We have very good wr's we just need the playcalling to get it to them and maybe even a Qb.People will keep defending KM but in crunch time I believe KM can't live up to the pressure. KM it seems to be rinse and repete a guy that does not learn from his bad choices.

Watched the condensed game Wednesday night. And what I pointed out as Big mistakes in another thread were the games Big mistakes. With 2 additions, the 2pt conversion that won the game. VJ Blew that call BADLY. And the play before the TD were Ekler made it to the 2 yd line. In both cases the D was played by the Charger O. Both of VJ's calls ...umm... Not Good! (trying to be polite here).
