MNF 12/12 Pre-game thread: Pats @ Arizona

He probably should just keep his mouth shut. Not sure making fun of your upcoming opponent is a good idea.

It didn't really sound like trash talk lol. But the offense needs all the bulletin board material it can get. Maybe this'll fire them up and they'll light the cardinals up with 17 points

I think if the defense throws up a shut out, we might have a chance to win.

Yeah I think we're undefeated when we hold the opponent to 0 points. And winless when they score 10+ or something

was Bill that wanted to change the offense after McDaniels left.

Problem is other than the rookie LG, we didn’t have the type of smaller, more athletic linemen to run the outside zone schethat proved such a disaster in the preseason.

Cardinals DC: Patriots look 'like a defensive guy calling offense'

Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph made some interesting comments on the New England Patriots' conservative offensive approach ahead of their Week 14 matchup.

www.nbcsports.com

"It's a very conservative pass game," the Cardinals defensive coordinator said during his press availability period. "Lots of screens. All kinds of screens. It's like a defensive guy is calling offense."

At that, a nod to Matt Patricia's NFL expertise as a long-time defensive coordinator with little offense-specific background, the media in attendance chortled.

Joseph continued: "It's how a defensive guy would call offensive plays, right? Let's not turn the ball over. Let's get four yards a play. Try to burn clock. That's what they're doing. That's what he's going to do on Monday night. He's going to be patient. Maybe take a shot from time to time. But for the most part, it's running game, it's quick game and it's screens."

Sounds like he's jealous.

Lol, it's not that bad.

Pats are 6-0 when opponents score <20 pts.
Pats are 0-6 when opponents score 20+ pts.

Cardinals have averaged 25 ppg since Hopkins came back in Wk 7.

So you're saying we're due? Nice!

We need Marcus Cannon.

We need a Real Right Tackle, not this collection of barely-useful crap.

Ash what happened to OT: Yodny Cajuste last week??

He punked out, again... Guess he thought he was being over-worked, starting all those games in a row...

 

[Brick27]

This sh*tbag Cardinals team has allowed more points than all but 2 other NFC teams. Regardless of their own issues to sort out, it would be extremely embarrassing if the Pats get pantsed by these jokers.

TGIF to all, getting you ready for a Friday:

 

[40yrpatsfan]

The extra day off may be key for us this week to get some of these guys back.
