I will also say that good coaches can get the team back emotionally after a week like this. Great coaches avoid weeks like this.

I am going to wait for one of the internet scout/dfw radio guys to tell me what to think and then I will let you know my opinion.

We have played exceptionally poorly of late over there.they have similar D which gives us problems, very good secondary with good Dline and we can't handle blitzes at all.

We will CRUSH Arizona!!!! Oline is the best in the league and will handle blitzes just fine. I would NOT want to be the Arizona Cardinals next weekend.

I was thinking about that.

Maybe there should have been more 4-WR formations on the field in order to spread the Bronco defense out more.

I'm honestly waiting for this. Dez can't separate, so why not put Beasley and Switzer on the field and basically fun NE's crossing/shallow route offense until you get a Defense gassed? You have to have our very inaccurate QB as of late hit timed passes, though.

When was the last time we beat the Cardinals?

06. Romo had a great game a week after owens dropped what would have been a game clinching go route at washington.

We lost greg ellis and if I remember correctly jay ratliff for the season that day and never were able to replace ellis at OLB the rest of the way.

Last time we beat them at home I believe was 05 when Josh mccown started and roy williams nearly killed him on a blitz and marion barber introduced himself to the world.

I think this team might be a tad overrated, so I am not confident about any game...

I think we can. Feel like this team bounces back after the poor showing in Denver. This team is much better than the way they played yesterday. Also helps David Johnson will not be playing...

Didn't we beat them in 2010 when kitna was playing?

I think we win easily next week. Cardinals are in bad bad shape

No, we lost. Kitna got injured, McGee came in and threw a TD with a few minutes left. I believe the Cards drove down the field after that for a game winner.

We then lost the following year in OT, then again in 2014...

They seem to have our number. Only positive is, they may have an offense on par with the Giants.

Hope so but my worry is we really struggle against a heavy blitzing team even with a QB like Romo,we dont do quick screens to the RB and Wr to negate the blitz and it has been one constant for the Garrett era.

No, unless are coaching can figure out how to adjust to what the Broncos did to us. All future games the opposing teams are going to run the same defense against us until we find a way to beat it. Denver exposes our weaknesses.

Can we? Of course. Will we? If the team is unprepared and lackadaisical like yesterday, probably not.

That was an awesome hit. Probably would get ejected nailing a QB like that nowadays.

Their secondary is dangerous and Chandler Jones isn't Von Miller but can still dominate out there. Plus we haven't beaten them in almost 10 years...it's not looking good. The Cowboys needed a layup after that whooping yesterday, instead we get a team that is still in the mix and will be fired up for their home opener.
