Thank you for putting things back in perspective. Day in and day out all players are human and have feelings too. There was a post on the AZ Cardinal FB about #⃣12 saluting the American service men and women!! There were fans who were complaining about the cards!! What every to we stand together and support the Cards!! What I love about my team is they are always helping the community!! I get so inspired by them that I find myself doing the same thing!! I too was in the education field and what happens in Friday should never happen to anyone!! Today AZ the Cards play their game I know they will play with heavy hearts, but they will be focused on winning for their Fans!!!

Darren,

Great story about Queen Creek football.

I now have something to cheer for tomorrow. Well at least at half time.

I know their are lots of card players doing great things out there in the real world. But it is tough to separate the player/coach and the person. So, although there are really good guys out there, if they come out playing like they have been, dont expect many cheers.

I doubt if G. Smith falls past the Chiefs at #1. But if M. Barkley falls to AZ Cards should call Buffalo who wants to move up for a QB, get an additional #2 and #3 pick, move to draft around 10-11 spot and still have a chance to take a very good player with Chance Warmack, G ALA.

There has been some whispers out there about Darnell and Whiz. I wonder if Whiz keeps his job, would that start the Cards looking to trade DD this offseason?It would be hard to pull off, but a team that thinks they are close who may need a good DT in a 4-3 may want to kick the tires if they could rework his contract. Clearly, the Cards really don’t have a replacement unless they think Carter could play there. Talley is a backup player right now, they would have to address the spot in the draft. (which they do now for depth even if they keep him)
One team that could need his help on defense would be Atlanta. I would maybe look at a deal where we send DD to them for a 2nd round draft pick and a player, like a Massaquoi, DE/OLB on their roster.

Its just football………..agreed.
Being a fan and using NFL for my enjoyment, I like to comment and get excited or ticked off when the team I put my “backing” behind plays well or poorly. Since we are playing poorly as of late, I’ve been more ticked off then happy (in regards to football).
I hope for a win, MAINLY so that the guys on the team who are still working their butt’s off can get some morale boost and payback for the hard work. Its not going to do anything for the dismal season winning this one game nor will it make everything better on how the team has (in my opinion) been run and coached.
That being said, I hope its not a blow out (ala Seattle). I know people say it can’t happen again, never happened in NFL before etc…. but we’ve been setting a lot of BAD records (or breaking them) this year, so I’m still saying I hope it isn’t another blow out.
I hope its not another 7-6 game too
I hope there is SOME spark in OFF so we don’t hear (in the 15 seconds we get a week) from major sports people how AWFUL we are. I mean call us bad, but not awful.
I hope also no one gets hurt
Play on Cards, try to get a TD this week

Darren,

Please tell me you’re not trying to sell us on Potter and Massie as playing pretty well as a way of backing up the excuse truck for why we don’t try to upgrade the position next year. We’ve heard this over and over and over and over again. How Brandon Keith “really started making strides”… how Levi Brown was finally not awful in the last eight games of last season, coincidentally the last eight games before he hit FA. Just because both guys are starting DOESN’T mean they’re playing “well”.

I mean… if they were playing so well, why did we still give up 3 sacks last week and rush for a pathetic 58 yards on a 2.7 ypc. Or how about the week before that where we ran for 80 yards and gave up 2 sacks… or how about the week before that where we rushed for 72 yards and gave up another 2 sacks? Is that really a sign of playing “well”?

And if it’s not on the Ts, who is more to blame for our woeful rushing game? Our two “prize” FA Guards who the team went after?

Whiz (with Graves’ and Keim’s complicity) has backed himself into a corner by drafting, in late rounds, Skelton and Lindley.
HE OWNS THOSE TWO QBs AND HIS IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION WITH THE OFFENSE.
He wanted big strong hard throwing QBs (LIKE BIG BEN) and now he has to live with those decisions.
SEE YA’ WHIZ.

Sunday’s the big game. Literally forgot about it, but my wife reminded me. Tickets are paid for, so we’re going. Expectations are low, so the outcome can’t be devastating.
Ready for this season to end. The off-season may have many unpleasant surprises.
Regarding free agents; it’s tough to get excited. Some are terrible. Some want too much $, and we have no idea whether any will be recruited by the Cards.

Heart goes out to all those suffering from the shootings.

It would be appropriate if fans showed up with “Aints” style grocery bags over their heads or even better, boycotted the remaining home games.
But some fans might become belligerent toward fans wearing bags.
Those fans are still drinking the Kool Aid.

I’m as sorry as anyone, involving the tragedy of today. Certainly my heart is with the victims, and anyone ill affected by this.
That being said? Fans, should be upset regardless.
My Uncle died this year, so did my aunt, hell even my dog; I guess that means, I can’t feel bad or as bad, about The Cardinals losing streak because bad stuff happens outside of football.
I completely agree about how things can keep others disappointments in prospective but they are still disappointments.
However, football for many fans is a way to be immersed outside the typical world, along with the bad events- your advice is better suited for the players themselves.
Horrible things, bad things, and disappointments happen every day – That doesn’t mean The Cardinals should get a waiver from fans or anyone else.
I agree the disappointment itself from fans, needs to stay in the real of healthy disappointment and anger level though.
I think it’s perfectly fine to be upset. anyone that takes it beyond the hobby of watching football itself needs mental help anyway.,
