Saturday Night Open Thread with Revenge of the Birds

Free agency has come and the defections have started from the Arizona Cardinals. It makes sense, for the Cardinals, they finished the season 7-8-1 and as the incomparable Jess Root explained, it makes sense.

What tends to happen with teams is they get to their pinnacle and then teams wait too long to reshuffle the deck, and then windows close.

The Cardinals window with who they were closed, that is why you see the changes being made.

Carson Palmer, Larry Fitzgerald and Patrick Peterson are really it left. You have a greater focus on David Johnson and Deone Bucannon now. Chandler Jones is one of the defensive leaders.

You have Tyrann Mathieu, but you never know for how long.

This change is hard to understand, but standing pat after 7-8-1 would have been even worse, in my opinion.

What is on your mind?

Few house keeping rules:

During this time, please no discussion of or references to politics or religion. We like everyone, please keep it that way.

Please keep the conversation as close to PG-13 as possible. The PG rule also extends to the posting of pictures and gifs. Any nudity (this includes photo's with see through clothing) or anything else of an offensive nature is strictly prohibited and posting such may result in a warning.

Please keep your pic's and GIF's to a reasonable number and a reasonable size as to not slow down the load time of the thread too much.

Enjoy your Saturday night.
