After Frustrating Seahawks Loss, Cardinals Fans Sound Off on Offense, Trade Deadline and Carson Beck
Defense Holds, Offense Stalls
The Cardinals’ 17-3 defeat to the Seahawks left Arizona with a 3-6 record. The team’s defense was seen as having played well, but the offense managed only a field goal.
Fan Sportsrgoated described the team’s contrasting performances, saying, “Defense steps forward, offense steps back.” Azupnextiswear also said the defense did its job, while the offense remained concerning, especially in the red zone. Nick criticized the offensive line and called for a finisher near the goal line, saying James Connor would be a major help if he can return to the field.
Trade Deadline Calls Grow
With the trade deadline approaching in two days, some fans urged the Cardinals to sell players and reconsider their leadership. One commenter called for a new general manager and president, saying there was little to anticipate beyond seeing Beck.
Dylan called for “a fire sale” and a focus on Beck. Another fan urged the team to sell what it could and fire the general manager before next year’s draft.
Beck Draws Attention
Carson Beck, a rookie quarterback, was a focus of discussion as fans considered whether he could soon enter the lineup. Dustin H said he was glad Beck did not start against what he called one of the NFL’s best defenses, adding that the result was largely expected.
John argued that the team needed changes from the top down. He also said LaFleur should have a voice in what he needs to succeed as the offensive coach.
