I think if that same thing happened this year we'd win. Look at the Denver game. In previous years we would have lost that in some dumb 17-7 but our passing scheme is actually NFL-caliber at the moment.

All the negativity about your team all the time and suddenly you think they could; beat the Bills, at their home stadium, in inclement weather?! You’re insane.

They're legit. They aren't deep on defense, but they're good. The offensive squad is elite, Kyler is cool and good on top of all that

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
The Rams have been dominant, yet the Cards dominated them in LA. The only close game the Cardinals have really had so far was the Vikings, and the Vikings seem content to play equal to their opponent no matter who it is.

Cardinals are definitely for real.

I guess the combination of Tomlin and a talented D is going to continue to paper over the issue of having a rotting corpse at QB for the Steelers. I thought this might be the year they finally falter but they’re going to hang around annoying the rest of the AFC North this season.

Unimportant to the highlight part of things but the play didn't even count for the weirdest reasons too.

Kelce was held and fell to the ground, then almost in the same motion got back up and purposely took out a different defender running past him low. I mean not in a mean way, he was trying to play it off to gain an advantage for whoever was running the other route on that side of the field but he definitely did that of his own accord. Defensive holding and offensive low block offsetting penalties on the play about 40 yards away from where it ended up.

There was another random flag towards where the play ended that never got explained. It took the refs like five minutes to talk everything over.

e: I'm not doing a good job of explaining why it was weird to me, penalties away from the ball happen constantly. It was just a very odd looking set of offsetting penalties. Plus an extraneous flag they just didn't bother saying anything about later.

Also someone pointed out from that particular angle Hill isn't even in the frame when Mahomes releases the ball.

One thing I really was wrong about and you have to give the Cards credit for was realizing that Rosen wasn't the guy after a year and drafting Murray. They look awfully smart.

Kliff is definitely beatable, he's the guy I have the least confidence in at AZ (other than Keim's AA sponsor)

The NFL defenses haven't fully caught up to Air Raid concepts, but I expect this offensive unit will be struggling more in a couple seasons. For now, I believe the Cardinals have enough talent and speed, and an un-developed yet already amazing Kyler at the helm. It's exciting, and there's too much hope for this to feel real.

The most shocking thing about the Cardinals to me is that AJ Green has looked serviceable to good. He was a shell of a corpse of himself last year in Cincinnati. Seems that was less Green being cooked and more him being totally fed up with the Bengals.

This is totally different, because Josh Allen was all upside. Rosen was billed as more NFL ready, and didn't seem to really have interest in playing. That team was admittedly dogshit, but Rosen had not shown anything at all. Allen had flashes with his legs and the cannon arm to justify a longer investment than "NFL-Ready QB who can't make a practice squad".

AJ was openly pretty pissed that he got franchise tagged in his last year which is fair. he’s a top 3 WR in bengals history which is saying a lot

They did also have a top 3 WR in football just given to them for nothing for some reason so that is also a big part of their success.

85 is their franchise leader by counting stats in about everything over AJ, but not by a lot.

Carl Pickens was real good in an earlier era for absolutely trash teams. Apparently Cris Collinsworth was actually pretty good. Some dude named Isaac Curtis put up damned good numbers by 70s standards? The Bengals have had a bunch of good receivers for a franchise that has not been particularly good overall very often.

Does everyone remember that Jets game vs the Patriots where Sam Darnold was so lost he said he was seeing ghosts on the field and it probably stunted his young career?

Well, I feel like that the same poo poo happened to a concussed Daniel Jones playing with half his team injured this week against Aaron DONALD of all people.

Except for the Giants have had two more years to have had fired Jones into the sun and am now stuck with this...debacle.

Carl Pickens was real good. Obviously Chad was too but counting stats can lie. The way AJ Green elevated that Dalton Bengals offense was a whole other thing.
