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.

The Arizona Cardinals travel to Santa Clara to take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday and both teams are coming into things limping.
Those are some long lists after just two games. That doesn’t even include the injured reserve guys in Garrett Williams and George Kittle.
The Cardinals have a lot of questions heading into this one on the defensive side of the ball, especially in the secondary. Meanwhile, the Niners are hurting at the receiver spot, with Jauan Jennings not practicing and the aforementioned Kittle out this weel.
The one to watch is of course Brock Purdy.

We all live in sensitive times, which can be good and unforgiving. Police now wear body cams, which eliminates law enforcement from being accused of actions that never happened. Doctor visit entry papers now ask how you identify yourself gender-wise. Some vegetarians don’t eat meat, but will sit down to chow down on fish and chicken, which are both sold in the meat section.

The Cardinals are gearing up for a Week 3 matchup with the 49ers, where they will look to stay undefeated and atop the NFC West.
Arizona is coming off a close win over the Panthers, which saw them go up by as many as 24 points before Carolina rallied back within five points and almost completed an epic comeback.
With Week 3 upon us, how does Arizona compare to the rest of the NFL from a statistical standpoint on both sides of the ball?
Points per game: 23.5 ppg / T-11th
Passing offense: 170.5 ypg / 27th

The fallout from the Arizona Cardinals win over the Carolina Panthers is coming out.
We were waiting and now we know that Garrett Williams is going on the injured reserve, as is defensive lineman L.J. Collier.
From the team:
The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that the team has signed cornerback Darren Hall to the active roster from the practice squad and has placed defensive lineman L.J. Collier and cornerback Garrett Williamson injured reserve.
In addition, the team has signed cornerback Ekow Boye-Doe (ECK-oh / BOY-doe) and defensive lineman Zach Carter to the practice squad and...
After a 2-0 start the hand wringing has been quite frequent.
Yet, for a 2-0 team, the Arizona Cardinals sure have played about six quarters of good to great football, and two quarters of football that looked like… Oh crap, we need to hang on.
Part of that is a good thing.
The Cardinals are creating separation between them and their opponents.
In their win over the New Orleans Saints they took a two score lead with nine minutes left in the third quarter, and in the win over the Carolina Panthers the Arizona Cardinals took a massive 24-point lead...
The Arizona Cardinals are keeping up with the elite teams in the NFC West Division: the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers. All three clubs have won both games and are in a three-way tie for the division.
The Cardinals must be feeling pretty good about themselves. They took care of the New Orleans Saints in Week 1, and then hung on to defeat the Carolina Panthers in the second game.
Emphasis on “hung on.”
Arizona was dominating the Panthers and built a 27-3 lead halfway through three quarters. Then...

As we head into week three of the 2025 NFL season we are at a crossroads. Not in the season, but in the belief of what the Arizona Cardinals are doing and where they are heading.
I think this week will be interesting, because more than if you are confident in the direction of the team, there will be some...
