It didn’t need to be that hard for the Arizona Cardinals.
They took a 27-3 lead with under 10 minutes to go in the third quarter and then it just…
Yet, they are 2-0 on the season and it’s better to try and fix things after a win than a loss.
Let’s take a look at some of the winners and losers from the game.
Winners –
The Win Column – They’re 2-0.
Losers –
Coaching staff – 27-3 lead and you allow a Bryce Young offense to have drives of 76 yards, 88 yards and 76 yards? You had him in a blender in the first half with relentless
pressure, disguised blitzes and fronts and he and the Carolina Panthers offense looked lost. Then it all went away.
The Cardinals offense had only one three and out in the second half, their final drive of the game (not including kneel downs). Even after a terrible interception from Kyler Murray, there were just over 10 minutes left in the game and the Panthers had to go 88 yards. And you couldn’t even get them into a third down situation? 14 plays, they had one third down until they were in the red zone. That’s either piss poor coaching or piss poor execution.
Injuries – This was a rough one. We will wait for official word, but Max Melton, Garrett Williams and Will Johnson were all banged up.
Vibes – 2-0 and things are looking bleak. A win over the San Francisco 49ers will make everything feel alright, but the vibes are not immaculate.
