Cardinals fall short despite late momentum vs. Seahawks in Week 4 | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

UH OFF YOU GO RUN PFT ON THE ROAD. ALL RIGHT, SEAHAWKS, WE’RE ON THE ROAD LAST NIGHT TO PLAY THE ARIZONA CARDINALS WHO LOOK LIKE SOME OF THE DIRT FROM 1 OF THE ROADS IN ARIZONA HAD BEEN SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE UNIFORMS AND LET ME START THERE. I SAID THIS YESTERDAY, I DON’T WANT TO SAY IT AGAIN AND I’LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO CHIME AS MUCH AS I HATE THE NIKE OF THE NFL, THE. KIND OF LIKED. IT SPATTER. IT LOOKS LIKE THE GUY WHO WAS RIDING BEHIND THE FRIEND WHO WAS ROLLING HIS BIKE THROUGH MUD PUDDLES. AND WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE, WHERE WE’VE COME HOME AND WE’RE COMPLETELY COVERED IN TYPICALLY WATER. FROM BEING THE SECOND GUY IN A LINE OF OF BIKES BUT THE, THE, THE 2 OBSERVATIONS I HAVE BEYOND THE FACT THAT I LIKED IT OR THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S A DIFFERENT SPATTER PATTERN ON EVERY JERSEY, WHICH IS KIND OF COOL. IT’S NOT THE SAME THING BECAUSE 2 GUYS WERE SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND I WAS LOOKING REAL QUICK TO SEE IF IT’S THE SAME DELIBERATE RANDOM PATTERN. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE’S SOME RANDOMNESS TO IT. SO I LIKE THAT AND NUMBER 2. IT NEEDS TO BE ON THE HELMET. YOU CAN’T DO IT ON THE PANTS AND THE JERSEY WITHOUT DOING IT ON THE HELMET. THERE YOU GO. THAT YOU KNOW WHAT? OH, YOU JUST IT MAKES SENSE. NOW BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT IT, YOU SAID YOU LIKED IT. UH, I SAW THAT THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC WRITING ABOUT THE GAME SAYS, HEY THE BEST THING ABOUT THE GAME WAS THEIR UNIFORMS? I’M LIKE, I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT, I DON’T KNOW IF I LIKE THOSE UNIFORMS. SOMETHING’S MISSING AND WHAT’S MISSING? YES, PUT IT ON THE HELMET. IT JUST SEEMED IT WAS LIKE OKAY YOU GOT THE IDEA SOMETHING SOMETHING’S THERE, IT’S NOT TERRIBLE. DON’T HATE IT. BUT IT’S MISSING SOME ELEMENT THING IS I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN ARIZONA, SO HAVE YOU LOTS OF SUPER BOWLS THERE. LOTS OF BIG EVENTS THERE. IT DIDN’T SAY, I SAY, WHAT’S IT SUPPOSED TO BE COMMUNICATING, TO ME, DOESN’T SAY CARDINALS, DOESN’T SAY ARIZONA. DOESN’T REMIND ME OF ANYTHING. GUESS. WHAT’S THE WHAT’S THE THE UNIFORM SUPPOSED TO BE? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE WELL, YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE FEELING THAT YOU WANT TO. LOG ON TO THE NFL’S OFFICIAL WEBSITE, NFLSHOP.COM AND BUY IT. THAT’S ALL THEY’RE TRYING TO PROVOKE. I WASN’T FEELING THAT EVERYTHING ELSE IS CLUMSY CLUNKY MARKETING BS. THIS WHOLE IDEA OF RIVALRIES UNIFORM THAT ONLY 1 TEAM IN THE GAME IS WEARING. IT’S A RIVALRY AND WE HAVE A SPECIAL UNIFORM FOR THIS GAME. OH, WHAT’S THE OTHER TEAM WEARING THEIR USUAL STUFF? WELL, OH WELL, THIS DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. I JUST THINK THAT IT WAS THE BEST DON DRAPER IDEA FOR SAYING AND JUSTIFYING ANOTHER LOOK THAT CAN BE SOLD. AND YOU SEE THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF NIGHT WITH THEIR NEW MUD SPATTERED, CARDINALS JERSEY THAT THEY CAN WEAR ONCE A YEAR IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO, AND I THINK THEY HAVE LEEWAY TO WEAR IT MORE THAN ONCE, BUT THERE’S A CERTAIN NUMBER OF TIMES THAT YOU CAN WEAR ALTERNATE JERSEYS AND THERE’S A CERTAIN NUMBER OF ALTERNATE JERSEYS YOU CAN HAVE AND PRETTY SOON. THEY’RE ALL GOING TO BE THE OREGON DUCKS, WHERE EVERY WEEK, THERE’S GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT LOOK BETWEEN THE HELMET, THE PANTS AND THE SHIRT. IT’S GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT LOOK AND YOU’RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO RELY UPON THE SCORE BUG TO TELL YOU WHO THE TEAMS ARE. OKAY? UH THEY MAY THEY FOR A LONG TIME LAST NIGHT, MICHAEL. I THOUGHT THEY MAY NEVER WANT TO WEAR THESE UNIFORMS AGAIN. BECAUSE IT WAS SLUGGISH. IT WAS SLOPPY, THEY WERE GETTING BOOED. WHEN MARVIN HARRISON, FINALLY, CAUGHT A PASS, HE GOT THE SARCASTIC CHEER BECAUSE HE HAD A HORRIBLE DROP THAT BECAME AN INTERCEPTION IN THE FIRST HALF. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, MOMENTUM IS REAL, IT’S 1 OF THE REASONS WHY I SAY, LET’S NOT COMPLETELY TURN FOOTBALL INTO AN ANALYTICS EXERCISE BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR OF WHATEVER. COLLECTIVELY COMING OUT. WAS IN. AND PLAYING EFFECTIVE FOOTBALL LATE IN THE GAME, AND THAT HAS TO BE FACTORED INTO YOUR MATHEMATICAL FORMULAS. GO FOR IT. DON’T GO FOR IT. WHATEVER. OTHER ANALYTICS. BASED DECISION, YOU CAN MAKE THE CARDINALS CLEARLY. CAUGHT MOMENTUM AND IT TRACES BACK TO THE JACKSON SMITH AND JIGBA HOLDING PENALTY. THAT TOOK A TOUCHDOWN OFF THE BOARD THAT HELD THE CARDINALS TO THE FIELD GOAL THAT TOOK THE GAME FROM 176 TO 20 TO 6, AND 20 4 TO 6. AND WE WE HEARD JACKSON SMITH AND JIG BONE. THE OPEN MIC. THAT WAS THE MOMENT, IT ALL CHANGED. THAT WAS A MOMENT. THE CARDINALS CAME OUT OF THEIR FUNK. YOU THROW IN A MISSED FIELD GOAL THAT FUELED IT AND THE NEXT THING YOU GAME’S TIED. SO A VERY THAT WAS THE MOMENT, IT ALL SLUGGISH PERFORMANCE BY THE CARDINALS BECAME VERY EXCITING IF WE JUST SET ASIDE THE FINAL 28 SECONDS YEAH, I SAID TO YOU BEFORE WE CAME ON IN THE AIR, IT WAS AN ODDLY ENTERTAINING GAME AT AT POINTS OF IT. I THOUGHT I’M REALLY GONNA STRUGGLE TO STAY AWAKE WATCHING THIS THING AND THEN IT TURNED. NOW, I I’LL SAY BEFORE IT, YOU KNOW, ALL THE, UH, THE DRAMATICS OF THE FOURTH QUARTER, THE LAST 5 MINUTES. I FEEL LIKE I’M MISSING PART OF THE STORY WITH THE ARIZONA CARDINALS, LIKE I I’M NOT A CARDINALS FAN OBVIOUSLY SO IF YOU’RE IF YOU’RE INTIMATELY FOLLOWING THE TEAM, IF YOU’VE BEEN TRACKING EVERY SINGLE MOVE OF THE TEAM UH FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. YEAH, YOU, YOU GET THINGS THAT I DON’T GET, I, I, I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT THE BOOZE STARTED TO COME EARLY. SO, THERE WERE 2, AND THEY COME INTO THIS GAME. THEY’RE 2 IN 1, THEY LOST A GAME, BY A POINT TO THE 49ERS. THEY DON’T PICK UP A A A THIRD DOWN. IT WAS THIRD AND 2. THEY PICK UP A YARD AND JONATHAN GANON DECIDES TO PUNT ON FOURTH AND 1 THE BOOZE COME THERE, UH, THE COME, THEY’RE BOOED OFF. THE FIELD AT HALFTIME. WHAT AM I MISSING? I KNOW THEY’RE NOT PLAYING GREAT BUT IT’S ALMOST LIKE IT’S IT’S NOT THE ABOO OF YOU SHOULD DO BETTER THAN THAT. IT WAS IT WAS DEEPER. IT WAS WE HAVE A HIGHER STANDARD, WE HAVE GREATER EXPECTATIONS, WE’RE GOING PLACES THIS YEAR. I’M LIKE, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE PEOPLE? WAS THAT WEIRD TO YOU. THAT THEY JUST SEEM TO BE READY, VERY EARLY PRODUCTS. WELL, THEY’VE BEEN LIVING WITH A SLUGGISH PRODUCT FOR A LONG TIME NOW. AND I THINK THAT THE BOOZE WERE A MANIFESTATION OF, WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR AND BASED UPON THE FIRST 2 AND A HALF 3 QUARTERS OF THE GAME, IT REALLY WASN’T DIFFERENT. THEY, THEY WON 2 GAMES EARLY IN THE YEAR PLAYING OVERMATCHED OPPOSITION THE SAINTS WHO WE SAW WITH THE SEAHAWKS DID TO THEM ON SUNDAY AND THEN THE PANTHERS AND THEY SCREWED AROUND AND LET THE PANTHERS GET BACK IN THE GAME AND MAKE IT LOOK MORE RESPECTABLE THAN IT WAS. BUT YOU START 2 AND 0, AND I THINK IT’S ALSO FRUSTRATING. ANYTIME, YOU HAVE THAT SUNDAY THURSDAY, TURN AROUND YOU LOSE ON SUNDAY AND IT’S SLUGGISH ON THURSDAY AND YOU GO FROM 2 AND 0 TO 0 AND 2. 6 DAYS AGO, 5 DAYS AGO THIS MORNING THE CARDINALS, WOKE UP, 2 AND 0. AND NOW THEY WAKE UP 2 AND 2. AND I THINK THAT IF ANYTHING ELSE THAT FRUSTRATION WAS A COMBINATION OF THE NATIONAL MEDIA LED US TO BELIEVE. AND THE CARDINALS, OF COURSE, DID NOTHING TO TAP THE BRAKES. THAT THE CARDINALS COULD BE 1 OF THESE TEAMS THAT THAT’S ON THE RISE. THIS YEAR, THAT CRASHES, THE THE PLAYOFF PARTY THERE WAS A TIME. 20 YEARS AGO, FELT LIKE EVERY YEAR THEY WERE, THE TRENDY PICK TO FINALLY, GET BACK TO THE PLAYOFFS. AND I THINK IT WAS JUST THE EXPERTS PLAYING THE LAW OF AVERAGES, AND THEN THEY HAD THIS, LOOK WHAT I FOUND SUPER BOWL APPEARANCE TO CAP THE 2008 SEASON, WHEN THEY WERE CALLED THE WORST DIVISION CHAMPION, EVER QUALIFY FOR THE PLAYOFFS BEFORE THEY STARTED WINNING PLAYOFF GAMES. 1 AFTER ANOTHER BIG PICTURE, SMALL PICTURE. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEY WERE DOING AT THE END OF THE HALF WITH THAT, THE CLOCK, RUN ALL THE AND RUN A STUPID LITTLE SCREEN PASS. AND THAT WAS IT. IT JUST LIKE WHEN, WHEN THE AIR GOES OUT OF BALLOON AND ALL THIS LEFT, IS THAT KIND OF FLOPPY DARKER THAN THE BALLOON IS SUPPOSED TO BE CLUMP LIKE THAT WAS IT AND WHAT A WAY TO GO INTO THE LOCKER ROOM. I THINK THE FANS NEEDED THAT 13 MINUTES OF A BREAK, TO FORGET ABOUT WHAT THEY’D SEEN IN THE FIRST HALF AND IT STILL TOOK SOME TIME FOR THE CARDINALS TO GO ON. I CREDIT THE CARDINALS FOR FINDING THE GAS PEDAL. BECAUSE THEY COLLECTIVELY HAD THE DEMEANOR OF A TEAM.

Despite Kyler Murray and the Cardinals hitting the “gas pedal” after a “boring and sluggish” start against the Seahawks, Arizona finds itself 2-2 after Week 4 in a loaded NFC West. #NBCSports #NFL #ProFootballTalk
