Cardinals lose at home 21 to 62 and leave their fans upset
Week 2 didn't play out like the Cardinals had hoped it would. After a the short New Years break the players got everyone seemed to be sluggish out on the field and it really showed during the game Sunday afternoon. I think some of the players might have celebrated a little to much during the Holiday ????.
The Cardinals defense came to play and had numerous picks and stops but when they are on the field for 3 quarters of the game. They start to burn down and give up more and more big plays. The offense was able to put together 2 scoring drives all game and the defense scored on a pick 6 but the 21 points was not going to mean anything against a team that racked up 62 points on offense and defense.
Dwayne Haskins just recently signed with the Cardinals and is already in the dog house for the team. He was caught at a strip club the Friday night before the game and he was extremely intoxicated when the Uber driver took him back to the hotel. Throwing 4 interceptions and only producing 159 yards wasn't his best performance of his short career but it also wasn't his worst. The team has a lot to discuss about the coming weeks until Kyler Murray comes back from his injury. I don't know if a player has ever been fired by 2 teams in one week but Haskins might be the first player to get canned twice in one week. There's just no excuse for how he played sunday. I know the players wanted to kick back and enjoy the holiday with their family but you also have to be responsible enough not to go get wasted at a strip club 2 nights before game day. I'll make sure I keep following the news around Haskins and keep everyone updated as the reports come in.
over all I think the Cardinals had a huge eye opener and are really missing their fearless leader right now. Haskins horrible week might actually increase Murray's value and have done him a favor when it comes to his contract extension.
Even though I know everyone is angry with the team right now. Please don't lose hope yet. They will pull it together and when Kyler comes back the team should really pick up and start giving you guys what you want to see.
Until next week
Happy New Years!!
