Do any players stand out to you, that we need to really focus on? How's their defense/offense, what are your biggest concerns????

My biggest concerns are injuries and playing DOWN to the competition which Dallas has a habit off in the past....If you're a great team with Superbowl aspirations, then Dallas should go in to Arizona and take care of business early.....I'd expect Dallas to be up big mid way through the third quarter where key starters should be out and backups in getting some valuable playing time...

The Cards have a ton of injuries and have lost some of their better players to FA.

OFFENSE
  • Kyler Murray is still recovering from last year’s knee injury and on the PUP list. Cards seem to have given up on him long term but he has that big contract so will be hard to trade.
  • They currently start Josh Dobbs at QB. A veteran of 8 NFL teams and not very good.
  • Their first round pick this year was Paris Johnson who starts at RT.
  • They have Marquis “Hollywood” Brown from a trade with Balt, and that’s about it for skill position people.
DEFENSE
  • They used to have a really good D. Not anymore
  • All Pro S Budda Baker is on IR.
  • Former Cowboys castoff DL Carlos Watkins starts at DE.
  • Their two Safeties are former eagles picked up on waivers.
Bottom line: This is not a good team. They had a 21 point lead at home vs the midgets last week and lost. They are banged up at several positions and have lost a lot of talent since Kingsbury was their coach.

Nothing about them concerns me.
They did play Washington tough and lost in the last minute. Gave up a 21 point lead to the NYG.
But is that because they are better than we think, or are NYG & Washington not as good as we think, or the pundits anyway. They were just better than the Cards.

Anyway, we should control this game, and put them away. But as we know, things do not always go as planned.
It could be another big win as well. Then they will play a better team at home against NE.
Belicheck usually has a decent defense. So that could be a good test for the offense before going to SF. Just don't look ahead in either game.

They were executing well in the first half, QB was running and throwing well, was taking care of NYG just like the Cowboys did until the second half. Almost like they figured the game was over and went into conservative prevent.

These are the teams you have to watch out for. They can score and you just never know in the NFL. They need to take care of business and get out of there without any injuries. They can worry about next week, next week.

Still have to see how we play I hope we don't get sucked in to anything bad

Get the marinade ready and sharpen the skewers. I smell another QB Barbeque coming on.

I get that it would be fantastic to have millions of dollars but Kyler Murray is nothing more that an immature little boy on one of the worst contracts in the history of the universe. He should feel nothing but shame.

The Cardinals are already playing for Caleb Williams, who will refuse to go there.

They have issues.

I still approach coming games on their strengths, not sophistication of weapons. Know your enemy. 50,000 lined up against 2,000 much better armed can present problems.
