Good-

• George: WR1. Great separation and some big time catches to give us some hope. The man will make plays and that’s exactly what he did today.

• TJ/Alex: best duo in the league. Can always count on them showing up and they did their job today

• James Daniels: moving furniture all day long on the OL and he was a big reason for it. Some really good blocks at the first and second level

• Benton: just an overall, complete player which is crazy because he’s a rookie. He will swat the ball out every week it seems, fills the runs. He’s solid and another good day for him

Bad-

• Special teams: Godwin running the ball out on opening kickoff when he fumbled it was the omen. Killebrew 3 penalties. Just boneheaded mistakes and this is a unit that is consistently on this bad list. We cannot keep losing the third phase here

• Killebrew: see above. Gave up lots of yards on dumb penalties.

• RZ woes: shotgun run at the 1 kinda described this game. I loved the decision to go for it but that’s your call? Just brutal. Aside from that, we cannot get In the end zone. Offense looks like it has some life and we just stumble. Gonna need points on the board and it’s gotta get fixed

• 99 yard drive to end 1H: again, described the game. You got them pinned at the 1 and you give up a 99 yard drive and there was like 5 third down conversions for AZ in doing so. This defense can’t allow that, no way around it.

• details: two illegal formations for the tackle not being covered up. How does that happen twice in one game? Just sloppy ball. False start DJ- Just cannot get out of our own way. It’s the little things that set this team back so far. Oh look, as I’m typing this we had 12 men on the field AFTER a timeout. Why not?

• Mason cole: Jesus H Christ. Two poor snaps and 1 ended in a TO. This dude, I tell ya.

• Mykal Walker: McBride ate his lunch and he got ran over all day. He’s been awesome lately but today was a brutal day for him

• Tackling: can’t tell you how many times we should have had Conner down and he just kept going.

Completely inexcusable game. Sloppy ball all around and did everything we could to lose the game. Pretty disappointed right now for a team that’s fighting to get in the playoffs and that’s the product you put out. Some major injuries today from Kenny, TJ hurt, and roberts for a quick turnaround Thursday night against NE. Sigh.

At this point if you ain’t on the fire Tomlin train, you ain’t a real one.

They got out coached by a 2-10 Cardinals team. 2-10. 2 and 10.

Oh, you mean Matt Canada isn’t the only coaching problem?

Mike Tomlin should be on the hot seat and there’s no getting around that.

He’s responsible for this offense, he’s responsible for the penalties, and he’s responsible for how unprepared we tend to look way too often.

He is way too comfortable churning out mediocrity.

There is plenty of blame to go around for this game, but Tomlin is easily at the top of that list. But hey, at least we’re still on pace to keep his non-losing streak intact.

This is the type of loss that gets people fired

I can’t believe Steelers-Pats is gonna be a primetime game. I bet the NFL wishes it could do anything to flex it out.

I said last week in the post game thread that we played well and won and the Cardinals got decimated and embarrassed so this was an obvious trap game. Sorry it came true. I wish this wasn’t our team but we have a decent history of losing games to teams we should not. I don’tt really know what to expect from the Patriots and Colts these next two weeks

i have a better chance of winning the lottery than this team scoring more than 20 points in a game

Y’all need to get someone to shut up Peterson first Purdy and now Kyler.

We have some talented pieces on offense, but we don’t have a cohesive vision nor a qb capable of executing an offense that scored touchdowns. KP is not an answer.

Defense our injuries at ILB have created a giant hole in the defense and we have zero quality safety depth. This is a huge problem because neither unit can cover the others weakness.

The good news is that Minkah broke his hand during the game.

Wait…

lol the commentator just said, “if cleveland would lose to the browns”
