The Arizona Cardinals lost more than the game Sunday in Santa Clara.
ESPN is reporting that James Conner’s injury is severe enough that they are already calling it a season ending injury.
Conner is not just a key piece to what the Arizona Cardinals do offensively (and this is not the time to debate this season’s offensive results) but the heart and soul of this team.
Any doubt, the outpouring is already showing.
Conner’s health is the most important thing after today, and we are not talking for the immediate. We are talking about how he can recover and how...

Who knows what to think at this point.
The offense dropped two touchdowns, they showed they can be an offense that attacks vertically, but is it only when they are down?
Kyler Murray had his one boneheaded play a game, but it ended up not being a safety, so it didn’t kill them… however his weapons around him not named Trey McBride may not be all we had hoped?
Is it the players, the scheme or a weird combination where the team doesn’t trust the offensive line and the skill players are not showing enough consistency?
Or is it a...

The Arizona Cardinals are boring. There’s really not much more to say about it.
They play a safe, boring brand of football.
First down? Run into a seven man box.
Third and ten on defense? Rush four and play cover four.
There’s nothing exciting or aggressive about this team.
They take what is there and try not to get beat over the top, making teams work for their yards and points too, but in a much less aggressive way.
So, they trail at the half 6-3 in what had been one of the most boring first half’s of the season....

Are there must win games this early in the season? No, not in the NFL, unless you are 0-2 and could fall way behind in a competitive division.
No, instead you have a battle of two unbeaten teams, that are banged up, but both have the depth it seems to keep competing and keep putting themselves in positions to be successful.
Now, can the Arizona Cardinals find a way to play a complete game?

Happy Sunday one and all.
The Arizona Cardinals open up their 2025 division schedule with the San Francisco 49ers, in a battle of 2-0 teams.
This is a road game, so it is not a surprise with the injuries along the Cardinals secondary to see the San Francisco 49ers favored, but can the Cardinals overcome and take advantage of the injuries on the offensive side of the ball for the Niners?
Can the offense put together some more explosive plays this week, or will it be another week of methodical offensive production?
Finally, can the defense finish a game?

It is tough to win games in the NFL, but apparently it is even tougher to impress Arizona Cardinals fans.
The Cardinals are 2-0 and have done enough in both games to get big leads and then hang on. Yet, fans are not confident in the direction of the team after their win over the Carolina Panthers.

Happy Saturday one and all.
Hope you had a wonderful Friday night.
The Arizona Cardinals are 2-0 and head into a big divisional matchup against the San Francisco 49ers tomorrow, but first lets take a look back at last Sunday.
Jess and I breakdown the win, what went well, what went bad and the fallout with the injuries situation.
In the latest edition of the podcast, cohost Seth Cox and I look back at the game. We discuss the following:

There was speculation of whether backup San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones would get another start this weekend against the Arizona Cardinals or if starter Brock Purdy would he ready to take the field instead. On Friday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan ended the questions when he spoke with ESPN.
Shanahan stated:
“I think it’s highly unlikely that (Purdy) will start. We’re just trying to see where he’s at to see if he can be a [No.] 2 or an emergency [No.] 3.”
Purdy has been nursing a toe injury he suffered in the opening game against the Seattle...

The Arizona Cardinals find themselves in a key division matchup early in the schedule as they meet the San Francisco 49ers on the road in an afternoon contest. The game is being broadcast on FOX and one of four late Sunday games, so the viewership should be high.
Both teams come into the game unbeaten with 2-0-0 records. Currently, there is a three-way tie with the Los Angeles Rams who are also unbeaten in two matches. The Rams play the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in Philly in one of the early games.
