surprising that their fanbase isn't growing considering that their best record ever before this season was 11-5, and they already tied a franchise high in wins with 3 games left. Especially considering the fact that the Dbacks haven't been good since the early 2000s and the Coyotes haven't ever been good and are probably gonna leave the state. What do people in Arizona do? Make meth?

My thing is, with our injuries starting to hit us. 

Have the Cardinals had any injury problems besides the RB position?  

Palmer strained his dingaling doing the pelvic thrust in Seattle.  Other than that, they seem to be in good shape.  Just a sore weiner.

I think there were maybe a couple on the DL but it wasn't anyone important that I can remember.

Pool parties in January, best golf courses in the country, hottest college girls in the country, etc. 

The Cardinals still have a pretty small support base here though. They havent been in Arizona that long and most people in Arizona were raised as Cowboys fans or Broncos fans. Getting that new stadium helped them alot though. I've been to Panthers at Cardinals games before the new stadium when they played in Tempe and attendence would only be about 30,000 people. It was just only a couple years ago that the Cardinals started to be the local Fox broadcast instead of the Cowboys.

Hottest college girls is a toss up between FSU and ASU imo. and the Cards have been in Arizona since '88 so they really don't have much of an excuse. The DBacks and Coyotes are much younger teams in the area.

I find the situation amusing for a couple of reasons.

Even if they're not in their original city, the Cardinals are still a much older franchise than us. More to the point though, since the hiring of Bruce Arians they've had plenty of reasons to be excited.

But now you've got this going on, and to a point that the head coach is willing to call out the fans over it.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
