Klingsbury needs to be fired tomorrow.  They should’ve been up by 9 going into the half but due his dumbass timeout then going for it on 4th down.  This team just looks defeated.  Players  have no fight left.  Look of a team that the coach has lost.  

Agreed. We haven't seen a lot of late season losing teams dogging it in recent years in the NFL. Even the Texans and Broncos showed a lot of fight yesterday. This Cards team is the exception. I know there's some gaping holes in the talent, but this is a really flat effort too.

Uche abusing McCoy and nobody on the O line stepping up to get in his face. They've completely given up.

How come we can't play the Cards?

[stevestojan]

In fairness, the cards did watch their best player sustain an injury that will keep him out till thanksgiving next year.

Cody Ford gotta be pushing 370.  Dude looks huge and not in a good way. Just got pushed like a blocking sled into the QB

Uche has really improved this year, him and Judon together will be a force. When Baremore gets healthy in the middle the front 4 COULD be a nasty group.

Seriously, how is it possible that Cody Ford is still in the league? He is the worst player on a decimated line. That makes him like 14th best lineman on a really bad team.

Oh, good. We're all so excited to hear that on this board. Thank you.

It’s in the game thread, He did have 3 sacks tonight.. lol besides until the CB improve we could have Four HOF on the line and still lose barely to Buffalo lol.

[Warcodered]

Well the Cardinals continue to be an incredible disappointment.

I know. Sorry, I'm salty.  It will be like this w/ me & the Pats the rest of my days, unfortunately.

Hiring a failed College coach never made sense to me.

That is just absolute drivel. Just goes to show that espn will say Eh-knee-thing to provide a hot take to the sheeple.

Yep, that's a real area of strength for the Pats. They strike me as a team that's just missing playmakers on offense. But getting those playmakers - particularly at QB - is easier said than done.

His PFF scores, by year; low 60s is generally replacement level. High 60s and lower 70s is kind of average starter.

 

2019:  52.4

2020: 53.8

2021:  46.7

2022:  35.4 - and that's in 243 snaps, so it's not like it's just one bad game. And of course it doesn't include tonight's putrid performance.

 

You can make a case for him being the single worst player in the NFL. And the trend line is sharply in the wrong direction. So it is a mystery as to why he has a job. All I can say is relatively high draft pick + college pedigree = some NFL coach somewhere always thinks he's fixable.

Bet JJ watt is wishing he signed in Buffalo a few years ago. 

 

He's basically guaranteed to end his career without a title now. But glad your girl likes the warm weather, JJ! Those 5 meaningless games at the end of every season will be fun.

Yep, we got the fully healthy Super Bowl Rams in game 1 and they get the crummy beat up Cardinals in week 14.  We get the Chiefs, they get the Raiders.

Yeah Klingsbury just got signed to a huge extension through 2027 

 

That franchise has not positioned itself to compete, I'd venture to say.

It's like he's tryng to show the world how 'fiery' he is - but on him it just comes off as total douchebaggedness

Belicheck needs to clarify to Mac that when he says he wanted him to be more like Brady, he didn't mean his whining.

They lost all hope on the third play of the game. Cards win that game if that lil hobbit didn't shred his knee.
