Wildcard Weekend Discussion Thread: The Elephant Edition

Gotta love seeing Stafford get the win last night. It was well overdue in my opinion. I'll deff be rooting for him throughout the playoffs.

I'm still scratching my head though trying to figure out what happened to the Cardinals this season. They were so dominant in the first half of the season, then looked to have fallen off a cliff, even with Murray coming back. Did opposing teams figure out Kingsbury schemes? It just seems so odd to see a drop off of this magnitude.

Hopkins got hurt. End of the story. He makes that much of a difference. Which is why I’ve coveted him for so many years, including the year he was drafted. We had the ammo to move up and get him but didn’t.

Even Jalen Ramsey admitted that Hopkins not being there completely changed the way they defend Arizona.

There’s no question. But their D was dominant, what happened there?
