With nearly no offense for the Arizona Cardinals, their teams’ fans almost all reacted in unison to the 26-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on Oct. 15.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Thanks to three field-goals by kicker Matt Prater, the Cardinals led at half time 9-6, but that was the only offense they got.
In the last two games against the Rams and Cincinnati Bengals, Cardinals quarterback Joshua Dobbs has given up 5 turnovers, thrown three interceptions and lost two fumbles.
Today, he threw 1 interception, threw for 235 yards and was 21-41 on his passes being completed.
Even though some fans also blamed the offensive line for various miscues, the jury was out on Dobbs.
Online, Cardinals fans were not happy about Dobbs against the Rams.
Why do we still have Joshua Dobbs starting?

Due to the performance as well, Arizona’s injured, starting quarterback Kyler Murray’s name has been trending for a third-straight week.
This competitive team NEEDS a healthy Kyler Murray on the field to win these games.
In the meantime let’s look towards the future. Let’s give the rookie Clayton Tune his shot. #BirdGang

We’re really not gonna win another game until Kyler gets back, ha? 😞

Kyler will hopefully be off pup this week. I’m absolutely disgusted at this point with the lack of second half adjustments by this staff over the past few weeks. TBH really the whole season starting to remind of kliff 🙃🙃

Moreover, it was a field-goal shootout as Prater had 9 points and Rams kicker Brett Maher had 12 points from four successful attempts.
With the injury to Arizona running back James Conner, Keaontay Ingram started at RB and ran for 40 yards on 10 carries.
As the Cardinals are missing two of their bigger stars in Murray and Conner, the offense was quiet pretty much the whole game.
However, both defenses for each side played well in a low-scoring first-half.
Then, like other games this season, the second-half performance from Arizona cost them the game.
L.A. wide receiver Cooper Kupp and running back Kyren Williams scored two touchdowns followed by extra point conversions by Maher.
In contrast, the Cardinals didn’t register a single point in the second frame.
After the game, Arizona fans let out their emotions after falling to 1-5 to start the season.
Embrace the tank #BirdGang

Why do the Cardinals refuse to play Clayton Tune. Josh Dobbs is trash and 1-5 with only one good game. Give the rookie a chance#BirdGang

Many frustrations.
OLine looking rough
Inaccuracies from Dobbs
Michael Wilson not enough targets
Wonder what, if any, trades will be happening in near future….Defense is better but we will badly need CB help and we need more pressure on Edge.
Overall “FRUSTRATING”#BirdGang…— Kiernan Ryan Daley 🌵 (@KiernanDaley) October 15, 2023
With the loss, Arizona is 0-3 on the road and will head to Seattle next week to play the Seahawks at Lumen Field on Oct. 22 at 1:05 p.m.
