What Arizona Fans Are Saying Before The Game

collected/formatted by Prime Time

It appears that their victory over the Jaguars and a decent game by Blaine Gabbert has invigorated Arians and a few(a very few) of the Cardinals fan base.

Arians – “Don’t bury us yet.”

vs Rams
vs Titans
@ Redskins
vs Giants
@ Seahawks

I see us at 7-9 to be honest, with 8-8 not being out of reach. No way we finish above .500, but I’d like to hear the opinions of others.

They win 1 more!

If they finish 8-8, that would be pretty impressive to me.
———-
Wins against Titans & Giants at home at losses to Rams, Redskins and Seahawks so it will be 7 & 9.

Wins against Titans, Redskins, Giants
Losses against Rams, Seahawks

I am going on a limb and say the Cards win the next 4 games but lose to Seattle. Finish 9-7 and have a record with them receiving a 15-19 1st rd draft pick where they cannot go for a QBOTF unless they make a deal and move up.
———-
Next game will tell us what we need to know about how this team will fare. If somehow this team can beat the Rams at home, watch out because this means Gabbert’s progress is legit. Don’t kid yourself, to hell with the stats, the Rams have the best defense and not the Jaguars and they have a healthy stud back and a actual functioning QB.

Especially in today’s mediocre NFL, these are the winning streaks which can unseemly take place when you beat an opponent worth their metal. It rubs off on a team where if you can stay close, you start finding the confidence to learn how to win. I am not saying we could go far in the playoffs, I see the Eagles wiping their shoes on our door mat but you never know.

If we lose to the Rams, which is likely, then maybe we can win two more but it will be fun to watch because some of these new guys on the field are going to bring it because they want to be on a roster and you will have vets feeling the heat which is causing them to perform. You watch, if John Brown gets back on the field, that smurf will risk it all against Gargamel

Right now they are literarily one game at a time.

What I really want to see is more of our younger players making contributions like we saw in the Jacksonville game. Gives me hope for the future.

There has been a lot of bashing Arians, including myself. Most of it is deserved also. But, you have to at least give him some credit that they haven’t quit. Football is an emotional game & it’s sometimes real easy to mail seasons in. Let’s see what happens against the Rams. They beat our butts in London. Will Arians have them ready to compete next week? I say yes.
———-
This team will need to demonstrate more consistency in their level
of play before we can predict how they’ll do in the next game let alone the rest of the season.

saddest thing is,… I look at that schedule and see every game there as winnable….it all depends on what Cards team shows up.

we can beat the skins on the road and we always play well in seattle… and we have a shot in every home game… Rams are the toughest game left and its a division game…even though the hags are making a push too.

this could be another year like /..was it 2013?? when we went 10-6 and missed the playoffs?
———-
Great win, great game, and I am rooting for more wins and more great games in the future.

This team is not making the playoffs.
———
I do not think the Cardinals beat the Rams, even on their best day.

If they do, then sure, run the table, go 10-6 and see what happens ? Why not?

……just do not think that is a possibility. This team has not been very consistent.

8-8 would be pretty damn good for this team, BTW. They have had A LOT of adversity, some self-inflicted, but many were not.
———
I’ve been optimistic for most the season so why not continue lol.
Rams: trap game with Philly going to LA the week after: W 😀
Titans: a lot like Jacksonville with a worse d: W 😀
Redskins: we can win, but it’ll be tough on the east coast: L 🙁
Giants: they quit and try for a high pick: W:D
Seahawks: we always win there: W 😀

9-7 and playoffs!!!!

Too far fetched? I can see 7-9 or 8-8 as a realist with losses to the rams and skins for sure

The Cards are in the NFC West, not the AFC West. Chargers could still win that hot mess after an 0-4 start.

Exactly. Just shut up and get on with it, Bruce. Not buying what you’re desperately trying to sell.
