Sarver hired a GM on the cheap, along with everyone else. He got exactly what he paid for.

Can’t expect much from a guy who still clings to 1990’s cell phone technology.

The Cardinals offense ranks last in the NFL in yards per game, rushing yards per game, first downs per game and average time of possession and 31st in yards per play, rushing yards per play, passing yards per game, passing yards per play, third-down percentage and points per game.

This is after a win. Barely. Against the other worst team in the league.

The Cardinals are a good example of what happens when nobody has any implied authority;

Keim had a DUI and this staff is his hire, he can't do anything without it reflecting poorly on him
Wilks hasn't been winning, so he is on unsteady ground
McCoy is shielded by the fact that Rosen is a rookie now, despite his calling being objectively bad. He turned DJ into a practice squad level back but 'won'.
Bidwill signed off on all of this and can't admit defeat this early into a new era

All it took for the old Cardinals to reveal themselves again is going from 2 great coaches (BA and Wiz) to someone struggling with personnel fit with a shit OC. The Chargers have scored 3x the amount of points the Cardinals have.

At least Rosen knows how to throw the ball away to prevent himself from getting killed out there. He's going to need to do that a lot this year.

Seems like the timing is a bit weird, right before the new season is about to start? I just wish Sarve would have taken himself with them.

I know everyone here is probably watching the Coyotes, but you can stream the Phoenix Rising game on ESPN+ at 8pm against Vegas. Road to the playoffs! #2 in the western conference currently.

Another big night of sports for Arizona. Phoenix Rising trying to bounce back from the beat down they took in Vegas Wednesday. They start the playoffs at home next Friday though! Sun Devils hockey takes on #1 Ohio State(lost 3-2 last night). ASU hockey will be on pac 12 + live stream.

I watched some of the 2nd period and all of the third of the ASU OSU game. It was much more entertaining than the coyotes. I need to get into more college hockey in general, I wonder if they have a streaming service. I think ESPN's app had a decent amount last year. Off to Google.

McCoy's offense had only scored 3 points with ten minutes left in the game. Fire him into the sun.

Wilks needs to save his own ass and can McCoy immediately. I can’t see this coaching surviving the Monday after the season ends unless there is a change at coordinator

Another 3 point half for the Cards as they get smoked. If McCoy survives that we'll know the old Cards are back.

Ending to the ASU game stunk. But geesus, this team needs to stop skating until the 4th and then try to turn on the afterburners. Silly pass at the end though have to go for the end zone there.

Not an ASU fan, but what the f*** was Manny Wilkins doing at the end of the game? 3rd year starting QB needs to have a sliver of awareness.... holy shit that was brutal.

My wife and I had purchased tickets for that Broncos game months ago. Honestly I think that was among the worst performances by a pro team - in any sports - that I have witnessed first hand. Just brutal.

A long time ago when I was in high school, I watched the Cardinals lose to the Chiefs 49-0.
