Greetings, Cardinals fan here. Just going to say I'm nervous about this game because the Cardinals have a long history of losing games they should win.

And I do think the Cardinals are the better team overall. I thought so before the season started and I was laughing at all the media talking heads that had the Cardinals as the 4th best team in the NFC West. Why? The Cardinals have a really good QB and a bunch of weapons at his disposal. That's a recipe for success in the NFL.

I picked the Niners to be 4th in the NFC West because I don't believe in Jimmy and the Niners have a roster of good players made out of paper mache. The one thing I can depend every year recently is that the Niners will lose 4-5 key players for a good chunk of the season and as we are seeing, this is happening again.

Why do I think that the Niners will win though? The Cardinals have struggled to stop the run. Part of that is that they have sold out to stop the pass in most games. Last week against the Rams they ran a lot of 2 down lineman looks. That's not a lot of beef to stop the run and the Rams go a ton of rushing yards against that look. The Cardinals have also struggled against the stretch zone runs and I know Shanahan is going to exploit that. Additionally Byron Murphy Jr, who has looked like a top cover corner is going to miss the game and rookie CB Marco Wilson who has played very well might as miss the game as well. RB Chase Edmonds is questionable, though I'm not that concerned because the Cardinals don't really rely on RBs that much anyway and they have options to fill his spot.

I watched tape of Lance last week and I wasn't impressed. Not even a little bit. He's going to take a lot of time to adjust to the NFL game. WIth that said, I think the Niners need to commit to him now, because he will improve more by playing than he will by sitting. It will be a long season for the Niners, but he has tools to develop and the Niners need to figure out quickly if he is the guy. I think the smartest thing the Cardinals have done in the past few years was how they handled the drafting of Rosen and the subsequent drafting of Murray. Any team who has gone through the QB wilderness of not having a good QB knows that your team should go hard after a top guy and spend whatever it takes to get a franchise guy.

Murray is now in his 3rd year and he is starting to play really well. Don't let the highlights fool you, Murray is actually the highest rated QB in the league from the pocket and is completing 80% of his passes from the pocket. His mechanics have improved dramatically and he is starting to go through his progressions and check into better plays at the line of scrimmage.

But I think the Cardinals are going to blow this one. I see the Niners winning by 10.

This dude knows our own team better than most fans in here. LOL. Welcome.

I don't know about Shanny exploiting anything though. Makes too much sense

Dontae Johnson wants revenge on Hopkins for costing him his starting job and derailing his career, after that one awful day in Texas.

I say we let Dontae shadow Hopkins all game, to make up for that performance.

Edit- Holy s**t

"I'll chalk this one down as a performance that I would like to give back and redo it again," Johnson said.

This game will be close, everyone is overhyping AZ just because they beat LA. They're still the loser Cardinals franchise that they've always been and will find away to choke the season away because Kliff Kingsberry is a joke

And our team finds a way to lose winnable games. we have nothing to be arrogant. the lack of respect given to the cardinals with the weapons they have on offense and defense while our team is a very poor 2-2 outfit who is poorly coached in all three phases of offense defense and special ed teams, is stunning ,. but not surprising as alot of our fan base is stuck in the past.. our team is not team of two years ago. the cards are not the same team of years ago. people keep hyping oh. treys first game will be like cks first game vs the bears. oh kyle is going to be just like bill walsh. years ago when we started young kids in the secondary who ended up trash. oh.. this will be like 81 when we started four rookies and made the super bowl.. oh. look. we have five super bowl trophies.. a bad beating like i think we will get today will tell us if kyle can hold a locker room together
I can't believe it's time! Long time since that 3 pick to now.

Go 9ers!

Bacardi and coke poured! Ready to see Trey in action.

This GB game wow. Hope it doesn't go OT.

What the hell is up with Banks. I think he's the only rookie who hasn't started yet right??
Imagine being a 3rd round pick and not being able to beat out Dontae Johnson.
