to my knowledge, Murray and Nuk have been out all week.  They both missed last week's game.  That's why we have a shot at the upset.   

Do you remember what happened the last few times we played backups. Yes,thats right it doesn't matter. If our offense can't keep pace with their offense we have no shot, Murry or not.

I remember Sam clausening our team the last 5 weeks.   Say what you want about PJ.  Clausening ain't his game.   

Rule out the the chance of the upset if you like.  But not this guy.  Not on the week we saw Cam Newton return.

The Running Game will have to be ON-POINT for us to have a shot.

We need to keep PJ's pass attempts to a bare minimum to minimize the chances of an errant throw to an opposing DB or CB.

Also, the "D" will have to dominate as well. 

 

It's a tall task but it should be an interesting game to watch nonetheless.

Regardless of how PJ plays our chances are slim. This is a REALLY good Cardinals team. I actually think we hang around a little while but they take off in the second half.

AZ 27-14. 
 

Keys are going to be running the ball like we did in ATL and keeping the ball out of Murray’s hands. 
 

Chinn/Shaq are going to have to stay on a spy with him at all times. Cause if our corners do their jobs is going to be him running around or pounding the ball with a Conner.

Thought I heard Murray might miss the game cuz of some injury

Last report I saw has Murray playing as a game time decision.  Defense is probably preparing as if he will play.

 

If Murray isn't playing we have a decent shot.  The last time we played a backup qb was against the Texans, and we did pretty well.  Of course, Mccoy is probably a little better than David Mills.

    • Which would be 8-8-1. An improvement.
    • Not sure who you are talking to. Everybody maybe? Anyhow the family cat woke me up so….  Saturday, I will be in the playoff frame of mind for that game don’t worry about that. Will be living and dying on each play. Pretty sure everyone will be. That is still a few days away though.  Right now it is yes we made the playoffs. Backed into it with some convoluted 3 way tie breaking magic. It took a heroic finish - not by us, but by Atlanta. I don’t hardly know how to feel about it. I don’t feel like we won it. It is just sort of, well okay here we are, somehow. Our number came up. We were lucky. And that is what we were. Not good, lucky.  As far as here, this discussion, I think people rightly feel like, look at the offense. And it is kind of, what offense? They shut our run down and we become totally stagnant. Some people have faith that the QB can beat people with his arm but we aren’t doing it. We went into our bye off a big high. In or tied for, first place. We control our destiny. 4 games to do it. And we freaking finished 1-3. That control our destiny thing? We didn’t control poo when it comes down to it. Lost in the mix is basically a huge collapse. No one really called it out, it got lost in the excitement of the chase. But, 1-3 with the playoffs on the line - every week. Not inspiring. I mean, you don’t call that trending up, and if we hadn’t lucked into the tournament that would be our finish headed into the offseason. Not what you want. And if we don’t win Saturday? 1-4 to finish the year.  Limping out.  Okay that said I do hate going into playoffs on a winning streak because you are almost due to end the streak and that loss ends your season, so dropping One before the elimination games start is almost a comfort. But 1-3 with a 54 yard passing total in one of them? Followed by 14 points in a must win. Hmmm.   I am supposed to be optimistic? Sorry I don’t think I can be. I can hope, that’s different. It has just been a rough 8 years, and the excitement of having a winning record is in the rear view this week. About the only way we can have one is make the NFCCG I think.    Anyhow, on offense, where are the signs that we can beat people who stymie our run game? I suppose it could happen out of the blue but we haven’t really been able to pull that off.  Beating Tampa Bay was good. That was it though. Our other last little bit of glory is two plays on 4th down where they didn’t really pay attention in the back end, somehow, and we got two really nice results.  Not once, but twice back to back. Honestly it was so out of character it felt a little fluky.  And here we are, depending on that to happen Saturday. At least guess is what we are hoping for. Good luck to us.     
    • Yeah that’s how I see the division currently and when I say repeatable I mean wins against teams like GB and the Rams, dominated performances like the first atl game  other playoffs teams we’ve faced we got blown out, team still doesn’t have an identity expect being inconsistent
