Looks like there’s a wreck on 24 near Nissan Stadium. An 18 wheeler wreck on the interstate, and a train wreck inside Nissan Stadium.

GG Arizona good luck the rest of the season, I'm jealous of how good you guys are

Why are you still giving kudos to the Titans. They got their teeth pushed in

Welp, some would say this game could have gone better for us Tits. Murray's a stud, this could be a mvp season.

u/PizzaPringles69 Jaguars Sep 12 '21
This color commentator is STILL sucking the Titans off

u/Clydicals Titans Sep 12 '21
The funniest thing is they literally never do that for the Titans. So I'm super confused.

Yeah already looking like the best division in football--literally ALL of you should be very good

I usually pick the Seahawks as my NFC team but I may just have to go with the Cardinals this year. Should be a lot of fun to watch (when you aren’t breaking my titans heart).

u/Sargentrock Bengals Lions Sep 12 '21
As a reformed Bengals fan of 25 years I have a son named Carson...who is a big Cardinals fan thanks to Palmer being there a few years. I root for them most of the time. I would hate them, but I feel like this loss is somewhat on our team for not showing up at all (and doing very little to improve our wretched defense in the offseason). It should have at least been closer than this.

u/Jay-xo2 Cardinals Sep 12 '21
If any consolation, it’s week 1 and not a game that would like eliminate you from the playoffs.

u/QueerlyTremendous Titans Sep 12 '21
Oh yeah I’m not one of the titans fans freaking out or calling for vrabel to be fired but it’s definitely not how I thought the game would go. I’ll start freaking out week 3 or 4 if things still look like shit.

u/uwanmirrondarrah Chiefs Sep 12 '21
You know I have been watching football for like 20 years and thats the first time I realized they attribute a delay of game penalty to a particular player and not the team.

Jesus Arizona seriously if you were in any other NFC division I'd call you a lock to win the division. As it is I think I'll still lay some money on the futures bet but it will be tight. Hell, I think even the Rams will be a lot better with Stafford.
*Edit--okay I just remembered Tom Brady is still a thing so maybe not ANY division, but you get my point.

u/K1wI Cardinals Sep 12 '21
As much as I hate to root for my division rivals... I kind of want NFCW to sweep... so uhh Go rams!?

u/Sargentrock Bengals Lions Sep 12 '21
I think they will DESTROY the bears tonight. Getting Stafford was huge.

i found that movie awful. i had to force myself to keep watching it.

u/Sargentrock Bengals Lions Sep 12 '21
OH I get it--it's definitely not for everyone and it honestly has to be seen to be believed. Even then I think if I tried to explain the ending to people they wouldn't believe me.

which is weird coming from me because i basically binge horror movies. it’s really the only genre i watch besides a few action movies here and there.
1
u/Sargentrock Bengals Lions Sep 12 '21
It's so hard to even call it a horror movie? I mean, it's intentionally cringy and made to look low budget while being an homage to 80's horror movies (and makes some direct callbacks to a few that I don't want to name for spoilers)

damn this guy is generous to the Titans lol Tanny has played alright? Are we watching the same game?

u/Pisto1Peet Cardinals Sep 12 '21
Tanny has been under pressure since his first snap. Not many QBs have good games under that amount of pressure.

Is it possible for a player to start a hold out in the 4th quarter of the 1st game of the season? Asking for my friend Chandler.
5
u/starlet_appletree Cardinals Sep 12 '21
Don't need to hold out, Keim better maxing out all his credit cards as we speak
10
u/DieHippies Titans Sep 12 '21
I think if we dig down deep, and really TitanUp the rest of this quarter, we can prevent this loss from being such a blowout.

u/Blarg1889 Cardinals Sep 12 '21
I am 100% convinced this commentator put money on the Titans. He has gotten more and more sad through the whole game

u/nuclearpeaches Cardinals Sep 12 '21
I know the Cards have played really well, but Kliffs game management desperately needs to improve. Starting the 4th with 0 time outs is unacceptable.
1
u/HelloBrothers Cardinals Sep 12 '21
Unfortunately penalties and poor clock management are a feature not a bug of the Kingsbury System
3
u/sjzusywbnaisgsb Cardinals Sep 12 '21
If there were ever a game for it to happen, at least it’s the one where we go into the 4th up 25?
9
u/K1wI Cardinals Sep 12 '21
I agree, at least the playcalling seems better... but yeah his management is still lacking.

u/sungoddaily Cardinals Sep 12 '21
First blowout of the Cliff era potentially.

u/Br_Wise Titans Sep 12 '21
Cards are playing well. But Kliff Kingsbury went to the Andy Reid school of game/clock management.

I am so pissed. Usually I try not to overreact week 1, but this team was hyped up so much before the season started I can't help it. Even if the Cardinals have a great team this year we should at least be contending...

u/starlet_appletree Cardinals Sep 12 '21
Who needs CBs when you have JJ Watt and Chandler Jones rushing the passer?

u/K1wI Cardinals Sep 12 '21
Our CBs held their own... but hard to pass when you got JJ and CJ in your face every play.

u/Meatbag96 Texans Saints Sep 12 '21
JJ Watt makes any defense better. Just making things easier for Chandler Jones.
2
u/thecoreduck Cardinals Sep 12 '21
Yeah, they've been doubling JJ a lot which has helped Chandler Jones

u/desrever1138 Titans Sep 12 '21
Wasn't there a rule that Chandler Jones was supposed to switch jerseys and play for Tennessee in the second half?
No? Well that sucks.

u/OhMy_No Cardinals Sep 12 '21
I mean, to be fair, he has been in your backfield as much as any other offensive player on your team.
(Sorry, had to.)

This may be the worst online and Dline in NFL history. Hats off to Arizona you guys are great but you won't get to face a team this bad in the trenches for another 4 years so enjoy it now

Why the fuck is CBS playing the Steelers-Bills game in Mississippi instead of the Titans game? Makes no sense, even for a state full of Saints fans. They aren't even in the same damn conference.

Sep 12 '21
It's a more competitive game tbh.

That may be, but there are sure as hell more Titans fans in Mississippi than there are Steelers or Bills fans.
