The punt block was a huge early play for the Cards....set them up for and easy TD....Their 2 missed FGs helped us out for sure....The 4th and & Goal play IMO was the biggest play....Watching the replay looked as if Raheem Mostert could have extended the ball a little more than he did, cause what's to lose if he fumbled its 4th down any way....If we had kick the FG at the point we could have kick a game winning FG at the end, instead we were down by 4 points...Another Redzone trip we can 2nd guess Kyle on...There needs to be some serious discussions on Kyle's redzone play calling....Also we were 2-11 on 3rd's and 0-2 on 4th downs...

No, the problem is way deeper than just WRs alone. What I saw today, the issues included Jimmy G, O-line and most notably D-line. Where is our top defense? It looked to me the Cards won the trenches on both sides of the ball.
Im telling you no pre season all rust i promise we will look better after this wake up call. One good thing we sucked bad today but still had a chance to win at the end.

14 catches for Hopkins. With no pre-season you have to lean on certain things. Kyle run, Hopkins catch. That was their entire game Plan and it was the right one.
We looked to be doing something similar early with Mostert and Kittle but it fell once that punt block happened and then Kittle got injured.
AZ are always a tough match, and getting them week one with a lot of disruptions was always going to cause problems.

Pathetic. JG was garbage. He took too many sacks. Constantly stared down his first read. Was inaccurate and didn't throw with anticipation.
Coverage and tackling were trash. Saleh can't keep a lead as usual. Ford did nothing unless I missed something.
Might not make the playoffs.
Overall, I felt like the team weren't ready to play.
Right off the bat, we were losing the battle of the trenches on both sides of the ball. The O-line was very so so. However, the D-line was worse, practically missing in action. I thought may be after last season Saleh would learn how to stop Kyler Murray. Where was the spy? Nothing.
Last year even when Jimmy G was starting slow after his ACL, the rest of the team was still great which made it possible for us to win so many games even before we got things going. Today's performance was just sloppy and the players lacked heart. The Cards wanted this game more than us. I guess we just expected the game to be handed to us just because we went to the Super Bowl last year.
This is a huge wake-up call, if we can't turn things around immediately, yes I think we could miss the playoffs. Did you watch the Seahawks game today? They played way better than us.
Playing Atlanta helps...
Granted Atlanta beat us, but still, I see the Cards as a tougher match up, considering they already stopped our running game both times last year and we are missing our top two wideouts. You know, that kind of..affect things lol. Yes, Aiyuk is a rookie, but the way the staff was talking, it looks like Aiyuk was easily the starter.
Originally posted by Rascal:Jimmy G was missing throws anyway. Our WR corps is just garbage. How can you throw an end zone jump ball using a 5'7" Trent Taylor is beyond me.
Either way, our issues is way more than just WRs, that is apparent.
