The Cardinals are on a strange sort of roller coaster. When everyone thinks they're good, they play poorly. When everyone thinks they're bad, they make us all look stupid. (Or, as in our specific case, stupider than usual.)

So after they did what they couldn't do last year -- win in the Meadowlands -- many thought that the Cardinals were ready to contend again for the NFC title.

And then they lost at home to one of the worst teams in the conference.

By my count, 8 NFC teams not counting the cardinals have played worse than us recently.

Lions

Packers

Bucs

Giants

Redskins

Niners

Seahawks

Rams

That's half the conference.

It's laughable that you think that the Packers, Giants and Niners wouldn't tax our asses if they played right now.

We were statistically one of the worst. The cardinals were not. And we did loose to the Bills at home. Still to call the Panthers one of the the worst teams so early in the season is jounalistic sensationalism at its worst. We arent the Lions for f'n sake...

I will say this. The loss to the Bills will haunt us from now till season's end. A horrific coaching job that game was.

Calling it like I see it; those teams have all played below the panthers mediocrity line (PML) for the last 3 weeks.

we are one of the worst teams in the conference.

until the panthers prove otherwise, yesterday was a fluke/aberration.

I wouldn't say one of the worst, more of a middle of the pack team, the worse teams would be Tampa, detroit, St. Louis, and the redskins.

I also think we are a better team then the Seahawks and maybe even the bears.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
