Uncharacteristic. That word sums up the Cardinals performance in their 34-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

The guys also discus…

Ep. 807 - Winning in the NFL is already hard enough. The Cardinals made it a heck of a lot more difficult on themselves in Green Bay. Too many penalties. Too many turnovers. Too many negative plays. “If you beat yourself, you’re not going to beat anybody; we played versus two opponents today,” head coach Jonathan Gannon said following the 34-13 los…

Ep. 805 - It’s been a little while since Darius Robinson has been seen on the field. That changed Wednesday when the Cardinals rookie defensive lineman had his practice window opened.

Ep. 803 - It’s been a long week. Losing happens, yes. But losing like that, by 28 points despite a relatively healthy roster, is not something the Cardinals had ever experienced under head coach Jonathan Gannon. So, here’s the question: what is the team’s response on Sunday in San Francisco? We’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, Craig Grialo…

See omnystudio.com/listener for pr…

Ep. 802 - He’s only one player. And he only missed one game. But when Kyler Murray says it’ll be “huge” to have Trey McBride back on the field this week, that means something. And it might mean a lot for an offense that has been held to 13 and 14 points, respectively, the past two weeks. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss McBride’s potential ret…

Ep. 800 - No one will say it publicly, but how can it not be just another game?

Ep. 799 - Kliff is back. So, too, is Jayden Daniels. And don’t forget about Zach Ertz.

Craig Grialou and Paul Calvis…

Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson discuss the Lions aftermath, how the offense can jump start a run game that had little production against Detroit, the strong secon…

Ep. 798 - Not sure you could’ve asked for much more out of the defense. They pitched a shutout in the second half. The offense, however, couldn’t take advantage. No run game. No downfield passing game. No sustained drives. It’s left everyone with the opposite feeling compared to this time a week ago. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss all that h…

Ep. 796 - A 41-point performance that sees the quarterback record a perfect passer rating, the running back top 100 rushing yards and the wide receiver score his first two career touchdowns, yeah, that is going to overshadow pretty much anything else that happened. That said, Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck give the defense its flowers. Specifically,…

What in the name of Markus Golden was going on for the Cardinals against the Rams in the home opener? Everything clicked, and Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck have to wonder if it was Kyler Murray’s best game in the NFL. (The Raiders win in 2022 has something to say.) So much good went on in the first win of the season, including Marvin H…

Ep. 795 - What’s not to like about a 41-10 win at home against the Los Angeles Rams? That’s right, nothing. In fact, there was almost too much to like - ok, that’s a lie.

Ep. 794 - Run the ball. Stop the run. Each week that seems to be the goal of offenses and defenses, respectively.

It was a rough Buffalo ending for the Cardinals, and Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck try and put it in perspective with the Rams up next and the home opener awaiting.

It was a good start. Now, if the Cardinals can work on the finish. Craig Grialou, Rob Fredrickson, and Paul Calvisi look back at Sunday’s loss at the Buffalo Bills.
