Do the Bidwills still charge their players for new cleats and lunches on practice days? Do you still need a justification to get a new pair of tube socks?

Exactly how insulted was Kurt Warner by the paltry offer he was given? Obviously it was enough for him to retire.

Will you be trading or releasing players that showed even the slightest amount of improvement this year?

When exactly will visiting University of Phoenix Stadium feel like an actual home game for the Cards? Every time I’ve gone there have been more opposing team jerseys than Card jerseys.

No, the Bidwills have not stopped being cheap. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and if they really care about winning they will be making some serious moves this off season to include a new QB.

It’s Whiz, players, Grimm etc, etc. Wake up fans and don’t be mislead by their PR machine. The one and only constant is the Bidwells be in Chicago, St. Louis or Arizona. As one of the original NFL franchises, they have stunk since 1898.

Why/When/Where do you expect to see changes?

Stopped watching the Fox Jokers when they were trashing the Cardinals every Sunday during their Super Bowl run. Now, I can’t stomach this horrendous losing streak anymore so selling my tickets for the last two home games this year. Bidwell will have to make a lot of changes for me to renew my season tickets next year. Counting down the days until pitchers and catchers report. Bad year for the NHL to be on strike. At least the Yotes could have eased my Cardinals pain. Now I’ll have to wait for Spring Training to get this awful taste out of my mouth.

wiz is 44 wins to 49 losses that is not a winning coach. He’s not even a 500 so it’s not surprising the team isn’t either, he must lead my example. six years and nothing gets better. 3 coachs now for graves and nothing getting better he has to go now.
SF couch has only lost 6 games in two years. took a QB everyone before him gave up on and made him super star. Now his 2nd string QB is playing like a super star.
Seahags take a rookie from third round and made him a super star (why didn’t we draft him. same reason we got brown and not peterson.) college coachs ar out playing wizz and his staff.

Keep Whiz only if we want to be assured of a 1st, 2nd or 3rd round draft pick every year.

This is more of a dumpster fire than an NFL team

Dear Michael Bidwell,

Please for the love of the team fire Whiz and Graves after this season. And please do not allow the next head coach to continually bring in “his players” from “his old team” they’ve turned the Cardinals into the burnout retread Steelers Retirement Home.

There is a reason the Steelers let all these guys go. Whiz and Graves are not smarter than them. But the loyal fans here sure hope you are smarter than Whiz & Graves.

This is a response to all who think Whiz isn”t a big part of the problem. He with the GM select the players that will fit his system, whatever that is. Here is what you have, no run game, an o line that can’t pass protect and a QB pick any of them who gets knocked out of the game about every 3rd week. Now go back to my first statement who puts these guys in place Whiz. I agree with many of you though insubordination guys should be gone. Ask Tom Coughlin how much BS he tolerates his players will tell ya first NONE.

My comment may be a little long but this team is really built the same as it was 2 years ago and the blame then was on Derek Anderson. No significant improvement with the O line, WR corps, RB or D line. There has been some garland added to the secondary but it wasn’t nearly enough. You went and got Kolb for Larry, then this year he wanted Peyton. That didn”t work so well. You build a team from your O and D lines then back without that your QB gets killed your DB’s get burned then you end up with guys fighting and quiting. It is really sad to become the laughing stock of a division. you can”t lay the blame of the seahawk game on Skelton he gets killed every week. Wiz may be a good coordinator but not a head coach or evaluator of talent.
You had Kurt Warner and he masked all the flaws when he left you lost your O coordinator because he was. The defense was not good then and right now not good again. on top of it all there is no depth. Money has to be spent the right way in order to turn things around.

Jocards, correct me if I’m wrong, but after Dockett was told to lie down for a play, and he vehemently objected, didn’t he ask to be replaced on the field for that play? Here’s the problem with your viewpoint as I see it: The coaching staff not only made a judgment call that he had a principled disagreement with, but they made him participate in it against his will. They could easily have sat him for a play, and let him not be part of something he felt was an abomination, while running the “play” they wanted to run.

Dockett has a competitive streak a mile wide. That is something you should want to encourage, not squelch. The coaching staff handled that in the worst possible way, both at the time and afterward — that is, if team chemistry and cohesion is important to you at all.
