1) Jordan Love to Christian Watson for 81 yard touchdown pass

2) Drew Lock to JSN for 82 yard touchdown pass

3) Purdy to Evans, hook and ladder to Deebo for 82 yard touchdown

After doing essentially nothing to improve this defense outside of banking on existing players getting better, it looks like the Cardinals defense is still terrible. Josh Sweat got his name called once yesterday for a backbreaking penalty. He's been a ghost. Walter Nolen, one of the players who was being relied on to make a leap, has also been unimpactful. We rank bottom 5 in QB pressures, sacks, blitz %, and touchdowns allowed.

They've also allowed 3 straight opening drive touchdowns to opponents, a recurring theme to start the season that hopefully ends next week against the Giants.

So much attention is being placed on what the Cardinals need to do at QB, but the defensive side of the ball needs a complete overhaul from the ground up. Is this an issue of personnel, scheme, or a heaping spoonful of both?

Love what he had to say after the game.

“It's frustrating... It's such a privilege to have one of these lockers. If you can't go out there and give 110% for 17 Sundays, you don't deserve this seat."

That’s my guy. WR1. ✊🏻

Just got a McBride jersey for my birthday but after this, I think a Wilson jersey is in order.

Hope some of the team heard that.

Excerpt:

The Cards had 10 penalties, hurting their chances on two occasions in the red zone and forcing them to settle for field goals instead of getting opportunities to score touchdowns.

"Any time in the first half when we got something going, and then we'd have self-inflicted wounds," Brissett said after the game, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN).

"Against good teams, it's like being a death wish. Against good teams, you can't do that. You can't beat yourself and try to beat them."

Brissett finished the game with 280 passing yards and two touchdowns against zero interceptions, while going 38/52 on his throws.

The 1-2 Arizona will regroup and emerge in Week 4, when they look to avoid a three-game losing skid in a matchup against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.

It’s insane that we’re 3 years into Monti’s tenure and the D-Line still looks like complete ass.

Despite investing significant draft capital and cap space into the position group Monti has utterly failed in this regard. Its honestly impressive how many misses he has with D-Line/EDGE additions

Just a bit of back story. I’ve been a fan since they were called the Phoenix Cardinals. Yes they were. So I’ve seen the ups and downs from Kurt Warner leading us to the Super Bowl to having Matt Leinart being the savior. When Arians took over it took awhile for OUR team to get any recognition. Remember when Aaron Rodger’s got his ass handed to him with 9+ sacks and gave up? Trust me when I say, I get pissed off when people disrespect our team. But we are on the right track.. wins and loses doesn’t mean anything this season. What I’m (and you should be too) looking for is how the team, who I think is the youngest in the NFL, handles adversity. And I think they did exactly what they did. I’ve made comments before about the ownership and how it reflects on success. We will always be behind due to that. But this team has me excited. I grew up most of my life in Az. But I have experienced and lived in Buffalo and Green Bay. You have no idea what power the fans have. This team has the potential to be special, we all need to be patient. We are in a division that is extremely competitive and the fact we took SF to the end is a positive, so if your determination of whether your a fan or not is about us winning the Super Bowl this year or even having a winning record you SIR/MA’AM are not at fan.

Hey Cardinals fans, friendly Lions fan coming in peace.

My buddy and I have a weekly tradition all season long where we throw out the generic frozen burgers and "Eat the Opponent"—building our entire Saturday and Sunday game-day cooks around the local food culture and tailgate traditions of whoever we’re playing.

For Arizona, my mind immediately goes Sonoran hot dogs (bacon-wrapped dog on a bolillo roll with pinto beans, grilled onions, tomatoes, mayo, and jalapeño salsa) or slow-smoking a pork shoulder for some green chile pork.

But I want to hear from the locals who actually pack the lots out at State Farm Stadium or host backyard cookouts:

• Is the Sonoran dog the undisputed king of game day out there, or is carne asada on the flat-top taking over?
• Any secret regional marinades, sides, or salsas that you swear by?
• What’s the weird, hyper-local tailgate item or desert tradition that outsiders never know about?

Appreciate any recipes, tips, or lot stories you guys have. Best of luck next weekend—hoping for a clean, injury-free game!

WHOS WITH ME!?!

Man, it was nice to see marv getting a couple targets and pulling in some catches today. I hope we see more of it, I just think maybe it'll come when jacoby is out.

Flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, flag. Flag, flag, flag? Flag, flag, flag, flag.

It shows growth, we just gotta build off of it. I know losses suck but I think we showed something today that I liked.

Okay I realize things are bleak right now… And I’ll admit I was skeptical of drafting him 3rd.

But finally unleashing him today was awesome. He’s as advertised, and we've got our guy.

When was the last time we had a back this good?

Excerpt:

On defense, defensive lineman Darius Robinson played a career-low 17 snaps. And linebacker Josh Sweat played a season-low 24 snaps, which was also his season-low percentage (44).

Both wide receiver Michael Wilson and tight end Trey McBride ended up playing the most snaps in a game for their career, with Wilson (who had 11 catches) playing 81 of the snaps and McBride (who had nine catches) playing 79.

QB Jacoby Brissett and the offensive line all played every one of the 87 snaps, also a career-best for Brissett and a career-best for all the linemen save for guard Isaac Seumalo (who played 88 in a game for the Eagles in 2019.)

I know we’re not going to bench Jacoby before week 7, but I’m seeing a lot of people call for beck already. I wonder if the coaching staff has any plans for beck later in the year, especially as our schedule gets a little easier after week 12.

You were posting when he was 8/8 with a 156 QBR but this was end of the game. Same Murray shows for a quarter then is gone again. We know JB isn’t the long term solution but also know Murray wasn’t it either.

Had no intentions of bringing up Murray but the fanboys still posting in game chat need to go on more than a quarters worth of data.

Not like we ever get the best of best, but this is ridiculous

Our Defense is HORRENDOUS!!! If they were more than a high school girls team we would have won Tod they offense played great but can’t win when we are giving up 35 points a game like the last two weeks!

And when did Bradshaw become the sensible one?
