This is a great week to make a QB change. The Lions defense, while not as bad as ours, is in the bottom 5 of the league. Making a QB change, particularly if it were to Carson, would be a good way to get that QB off on the right foot. If we don’t make a change and we lose to Petzing, the optics of that are horrible, absolutely horrible. And I don’t see another good opportunity before the bye week to make the change. The ride to the bye weeks gets intense from here.

Positive: A lot of the broadcast when I saw LaFleur, Beck was right next to him, or next to him and actively talking to him. Thought that was an interesting look. Hopefully he’s picking Lafleur’s brain as the game goes.

Let me put this into context for those of you who are okay with us being bad and making no changes.

1st quarter ends: we’re up 14-3, Jacoby had 61 yards passing.

SINCE then: we’ve been out scored 27-10, Jacoby now has *checks box score* 129 yards total. so if you’re doing the math, in 3 quarters he thrown 68 yards total with 2 bad interceptions and 1 touchdown that was basically set up for us. His average pass today has gone 4.7 yards. And oh yeah: A 100 yard pick six at the goal line as time expired.

Meanwhile the defense has given up 27 in 3 quarters and has given up 30 or more total for the NINTH time since November 9th of last year.

Anyone who is still like “it’s okay, we expected to be bad, what did you expect?”

Jesus Christ, you should pissed and embarrassed. Rallis should be packing his office tonight when we get home.

Start warming up Beck.

And for the love of god, pull the plug on Monti. This is his team, he built this and wanted this.

And I will go to war for LaFleur. He didn’t build this team, he didn’t pick this QB. I genuinely feel bad for him.

It‘s insane that anyone is still supporting those 3 goons having anything to do with the leadership of this organization.

Have some respect for yourself as a fan.

I was just reading the new study that came out of Boston last week that 215/235 of the former player brains they studied over a 5 year period had CTE. I listened to Roger Craig talks recently about his dementia. I love New Heights and listened to Jason Kelce talk recently about how he can almost guarantee he has CTE. I watched CJ2K this year.

I fucking love football with everything I have. But does anyone else get like me and try to balance your love for the game with a nagging conflicting feeling? Like I’ll never walk away from football, but man the conflicting feelings I get get me every time.

WR room breakdown

One player you hope pops this year, and one you think is going to fall flat. I’ll go first:

1. My hope: Garrett Williams. When he’s at full strength, I truly don’t believe there is a better slot corner in the NFL. I want him to have a huge year and get his bag next offseason. Good dude, gotta root for him. I do wonder how well he’s going to be at the beginning having had no run in the preseason, but really want him to have a big season.

2. My fall flat pick is inside line backer. Obviously Mack is our green dot and is gonna get his, but at the other spot, Gibbens was basically a backup before coming here and Simon looked awful in the preseason, just absolutely exposed after having the starting role going in and seemingly losing it. I’m unsure about that middle of the field and think it could be a real liability.

Overall though, psyched for the season. I’m hoping we aren’t as bad as everyone expects. I’m hopeful, but ready to get hurt again.

Preseason is almost complete, I know last night was defeating so let’s end the weekend on a positive note: Who has been your top bright spot of the preseason/camp?

I’ll give first: Jayden Williams is the clear answer to me. He’s clearly cemented himself as the backup to Wilkinson and PJJ. He has been outstanding. He’s been solid in camp and every preseason game, but that pancake block last night, was unreal. 6’4, 310, SEC 4-year starter, I have no idea why he went in the 7th round and 99/100, that guy doesn’t make the team. But he’s got it, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets an open chance to compete for the RT job next year.

What’s say you??

The goal is to build a team that could win the first Super Bowl in Cardinals history. Your team should have the following and I’ll make mine as an example

QB— Kurt (I really debated between Kurt and Carson)

RB1– David Johnson

RB2 or FB— Edgerrin James (I almost picked Larry Centers but the one two combo of James and Johnson was too good)

WR1– D-Hop

WR2– Anquan

Slot— Larry

2 tackles— PJJ, Luis Sharpe

2 guards— Lance Smith, Mike Iupati

Center— Lyle Sendeline

TE— Trey

2DE— Chandler Jones, Calais

2DT— Dock, Eric Swann

2 LB— D-Wash, Dansby

CB1– Pat Pete

CB2– Aeneas

Slot Corner

FS— Honey Badger

SS— A-Dub

K— Jim Bakker

P— Gonna go fan favorite on this one, even though he may not be the best— Ben Graham

KR— LaRod Stephens-Howling

PR— Pat Pete

What did you guys think of All or Nothing? 10 years later and I’m rewatching it to get psyched for the season. It‘s way more fun that I remember.

Every year, pre-season, some rookie runs his mouth about a random vet who ends up wrecking them. Usually it’s LeBron. THIS year however, we get the absolute privilege to watch Dillon absolutely obliterate this man. Anyone who just says shit like this unprompted deserves it.

With the season coming up, I’m wondering what everyone’s realistic hope for the season is? I’ll start.

5-6 wins

Beck plays enough to get 2500-3000, 20 touchdowns+ and a low amount of INT’s and shows we got our guy.

J-love establishes himself

Maserati Marv returns

from today:

“I’m catching up.”

Cool cool cool, well Beck IS caught up buddy!

oh my oh my oh my… This is the most fun I’ve had watching cardinals football, maybe since Kingsbury? I know it’s one preseason game but those two drives… goddamn Beck was unleashed. I have no idea if he’s the guy, but this has been fun as hell.

The night before the first preseason game… when hopium runs deepest.

What would be considered a good night to you to open up “The Beckoning“ era?

Inspired by a post on a different NFL page… Who is your biggest Cardinals “What-if?”

I don’t like Miles Bridges’ character. What he did is despicable. Full stop.

But for the love of god, PLEASE stop with the doom and gloom posts. This is the reality, the rest of the team are our boys. It’s gonna be a good season. Chill the fuck out.

I don’t know how you can watch this and say “lEtS gO aFTeR sOrSbY.”

Fuck outta here with that. Let Beck play. Let the Jets or Browns make the Sorsby mistake.
