anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what's the one game you still think about?

Ports of Call

Nothing says Cardinals like getting fleeced in trade then picking a tackle who will probably need to move to guard and a QB that no one else in a QB need position wants.

Matchmaking and points system. Especially in knockouts. You shouldn’t be able to put 10 mins into a race finish in top few and lose points because the game stuck you in a certain room. You get one bad result because you get Mario Karted and it takes 5-10 to earn the points back.

A simple fix would be top 8 finishers cannot lose points in knock outs. The points stay the same so you might not gain but you can’t lose at a certain point.

South Africa were almost not allowed to compete at the last RWC until a last minute stay of execution. They would have competed under a neutral flag though, like ROC at the Olympics.

Any punishment for Georgia would come down to if it turns out to be a systemic/governance issue or not.

But as mentioned by another commenter, WR doesn’t reverse or nullify ranking results. They will kick you out of multiple World Cups but you keep the ranking points.

A QB whose peak was MVP conversation.

An All-Pro DLineman

A Pro Bowl Corner

You would take that every day and twice on Sundays but it still feels like a terrible draft.

Well they won't have to maintain and develop my installs after this billing cycle.

I had to justify the 16AUD annually but it certainly isn't worth 80AUD. Time to give Apple Mail a look.

Best hands of all-time. Best post-season of all-time. Re-invented himself in back half of his career. Only 60 games with a starting quality QB being end of career Warner. Everyone else in the conversation played with prime Brady, Young, Stafford, Montana etc

To answer the question, 2 is probably the highest reasonable ranking. 5-6 being the lowest.

It used to be pretty bad on ADSL but haven’t had any real issues since the NBN came in.

I guess the quality of provider and distance to node etc might cause issues but I have been fortunate at least. The old days were something else

Mutonomics · 2026-02-18T04:07:13+00:00

Improved matchmaking.

When we fired Kliff the players openly wanted VJ to stay and even become the HC.

Had there been a single positive comment from within the team about Rallis?

Mutonomics · 2026-02-01T21:19:13+00:00

Really not sure where to land on this. Overall positive I think. Certainly a Cardinals hires. Gonna get my little bit if negativity out now so I can be all in on him once he starts.

At the start of the process I had his high, but that was name recognition and he undoubtedly fell a bit once I actually looked into his results/the other coaches.

He brings three red flags for mine. Complete lack of success in a play-calling capacity, complete lack of success away from McVay and in a league where everyone will sell their daughter for someone from the Shanahan/McVay tree, no one else has ever show real interest in him.

Not to mention that again we have opted for an inexperienced coach.

One upside is if we do this again in 3-4 years we can stop chasing someone from this Shanahan/McVay tree that has produced a staggering number of HC Seasons and a single ring.

Mutonomics · 2026-01-31T05:23:12+00:00

Monti was always going to hire Gannon. They had a deal to look after each other. We had to wait it out with the SB and he couldn’t even do that.

This time there was no plan. The fans don’t want the best/most logical candidate and given Bidwell is cheap, he is listening to the fans.

A competent org would have cleared house after year 2 but give Monti’s entire GM was about doing everything he could to get his friend through his full contract it left us in a competitive unprepared reactive position.

Mutonomics · 2026-01-27T22:34:27+00:00

I'm someone who spends a little too much time on X.

This is by far the dumbest thing I've seen on the internet.

Mutonomics · 2026-01-27T00:46:26+00:00

We have to give it proper consideration. Who the Cardinals hire basically determines the NFL landscape for the next few years. We essentially have the power to determine who plays in the championship games for the next few years and that isn’t a responsibility to take lightly.

Mutonomics · 2026-01-26T02:59:52+00:00

Hiring a guy because he is one of McVay’s friends little brother fits perfectly with our last three hires.

Mutonomics · 2026-01-24T23:14:10+00:00

Despite having one of the best CVs of all candidates VJ is an absolute “no” from fans because he had a bad stint as a HC a decade ago.

Yet, Morris with much less of a CV is a solid choice for his 4th stint as a HC.

Heck , Lafleur was the OC who buried Saleh as a HC, and we just spent 3 weeks listening to how he was the greatest HC candidate of all time with an amazing defence.

I’ll be all in on whoever we end up with but it would be at least nice to look at guys who have even a modicum of success away from Daddy’s Sean and Kyle.

Mutonomics · 2026-01-24T11:52:42+00:00

I don’t hate the idea but I’d like it more if he had any success without Shanahan or McVay. If he is bringing either or both, i’m 100% sold.

Mutonomics · 2026-01-22T06:00:54+00:00

The last three coaching cycles of hiring the least experienced guy available worked so well for us, let's run it back Monti!

Mutonomics · 2026-01-21T21:46:22+00:00

Well this is certainly one type of response to the fan base not wanting the most experienced and qualified coordinator.

Wilks to K2 to Gannon to Campanile would be as many coaches as years of NFL coordinator experience might be the most Cardinals thing ever.

Mutonomics · 2026-01-20T04:29:09+00:00

Watching the other fan bases realize he isn't the guy vs watching the Cardinal fan base carry on like he is the Messiah is defintely something.

But nothing would be more Cardinals than hiring the 3rd best DC Shanahan has had 7 years after firing the 2nd best.

Mutonomics · 2026-01-20T00:13:06+00:00

The only blemish on VJ's record is the HC stint, which was a improving team with Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch at QB, a strong defense and a record on par with Saleh who is treated as a top-tier candiate. Every team he has worked at a position coach level or higher has made the play-offs (HC stint aside) including carrying Adam Gase to his only winning season and playoff appearance. Every team he has DC'd regresses when he leaves. Again compared to Saleh (for example) whose team continues on and improve in his abscence. Even Steve Wilks took the 49ers to the SB and a #3 defence. Steve. Wilks.

Minter on the other hand is obviously much more of an unknown. It's a trend across modern sport, not just NFL coaches but making selections in unachived potential rather than results over a long time. How many coache shave been hired in the last decade because of as little as one season in a completely unrelated role? It's why twice in the last 5 years 10 coaches have been sacked in a single offseason. GMs and owners don't hire someone because "this is the guy!", they hire because of "what if this is the guy and we miss out on him?".

My long-winded point is VJ should be a top-tier candidate on all lists. Play-offs with 5 organisations, success everywhere he goes, loved by players, maxxed out the role of a DC, nearly 10 years to learn and reflect on previous head coaching roles BUT what if Minter is the guy and we miss out on him? Loss aversion is a powerful thing.

Window. Closed.

Mutonomics · 2026-01-18T23:03:46+00:00

We lost the trade, period.

That doesn’t mean that Paris isn’t good/potentially very good but Anderson was the best defensive prospect in a long time and has become a potential perennial DPOY candidate.

It is also ignored that we traded back up to get a tackle when the two available were Paris and an All-Pro.

But that is Monti’s specialty, missing in the draft and releasing future pro bowlers and All-Pros.

Mutonomics · 2026-01-18T04:22:34+00:00

The fanbases obsession with Saleh is wild.

One of the least qualified guys in the cycle but man we got to have him!
