NGT: At least the cardinals werent tanking

[ralphpal1]

We are 1.5 games behind since we lost the only divisonal game
But the cardinals were not tanking as we see
So we did come back for real
So this week they have to get into the mindset this is a new season
Lets win some games
If we lose this week it just shows we are not good enough
Blood is in the water
Who is going to take it

Well, we got TEN captains, but do we have ANY leaders ??????

I think this 10 captain stuff is pure B.S......at least on this team.

Time for some internal toughness to either develop or rise up.

I think sometimes fans misuse the word "tank" in reference to a team's approach to an NFL season.

I don't think there are really ever times where the players being put on the field actively try to lose or are told to make mistakes or not try their hardest. That doesn't happen. That would never get kept secret, and that's just not something any owner or GM would want to risk.

What does happen though is teams will trade away vets for draft picks and free up cap space in future years. So they'll deliberately put lesser players on the field than they could have if they were maxing themselves out for the current year. To me that's what "tanking" means. And plenty of teams do that. I don't think any owner, GM, or coach is actually telling the players who they send on the field to try to lose. That's fantasy land. It's about who they put on the field, not what they tell the players to do.

They are not a bad team as painted.

[Giant Jim]

Why would anyone think a team would be tanking from the 1st or 2nd game, especially with the lawsuit by Brian Flores on going?

Look, I spent the better part of last year calling the Cardinals a dumpster fire because that's exactly what they were at the time.

They have a new GM (Ossenfort who, in case you forgot, was a strong candidate for the Giants' GM role), new head coach in Gannon, and maybe the best thing that could have happened in Murray being on the injured reserve for a good chunk of the season to allow Dobbs a chance to start fresh on a new team.

They've played competitively in all three games against NFC East teams so far. They'll have a much more difficult time against San Francisco this weekend but it will be a good litmus test against a 49er team that toyed with the Giants.

The Cardinals are NOT a tanking team by any stretch!

Peace!

A) LOVE THIS!

B) I vote that out of the 10 Captains, we select 2 Generals, one for each 5 Captains and let's start LEADING from the front to the back!
