Positives from today

[4Corners]

Honestly, as bad as we looked at times and as good as the Cowgirls looked - the deciding factor was the one sided awful officiating that tipped the game to Dallas. 

[Smithers]

Don’t forget that Zane kicked most of his kickoffs into the end zone and Zylstra continues to look like a true 4th option at WR.

My positives:

Sam Darnold is better than Teddy Asswater

DJ Moore is an elite receiver 

about all I got 

[Peon Awesome]

Yeah it's good to see lots of positivity from the huddle; not something I've been used to particularly during the Rivera-Hurney years. If Green Bay can get completely destroyed by a Saints team we dominated, and the Rams can go from looking like the best team in the NFL hands down to getting handily beaten at home to the Cardinals (although impressively 4-0 themselves), I think we can survive a one possession defeat to the 3-1 Cowboys on the road. If there's any truth to the NFL it's any team can go down in any give week. CMC will be back soon (certainly before we hit the tougher parts of our schedule), Henderson will get up to speed, and Brady, Snow and Rhule will finetune their gameplans.

Darnold and the O as a whole could have packed up and went home for the 4th. They didn't. They fought hard and we were a couple D stops away from tieing or winning. Given the D should be our strength moving forward... I was glad our O didn't collapse and showed resilience.

But it was still a loss.

Yes

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Darn old had some bad throws and decisions. Not sure that it was because of him, the defense or the OL.   That said, he seemed to respond to that and overcome it. He made some good plays down the stretch to get it within one score. 
 Always thought there would be bumps in the road but felt we could work out some stuff with Sam.  Still feel that way.

If the trend holds, I'd put money on the Cardinals to handily lose next week as the unbeaten darlings of the league (a la Bucs in week 3, Rams in week 4). Definitely possible against the 49ers.

Also who had the Raiders and Cardinals as the last 2 unbeaten teams in the league? After tomorrow night, it might just be one.

Got to give credit to Brady on his short yardage play calling. We had been struggling with that all year but not today. Unfortunately most positives were on the offensive side.

Derek Carr was my dark horse MVP candidate. I fully expected them and him to be sneaky good this year. I definitely didn't expect the Cardinals to be 4-0 though. They've played some decent competition. Don't let the Vikings' 1-3 record fool you. Their three losses are by a combined 11 points.
