Final..

Graves hung tough the entire game and made Mayfield earn everything they got. The Mayfield defense held Graves to 3 yrds on 9 plays in the 2nd half and went old school with the 3 back sets and ran it down there throats in the 2nd half, racking up 189 rushing yds and 13 1st downs and 259 yds and 21 1st downs for the game, but, more importantly, chewing up clock... The Cards did turn it over on a fumble inside the Graves 6 yrd line on there opening 2nd half possession and had the ball inside the Graves 4 yd line to end the game...

Hats off to the Eagles...they played inspired football and are faster than I expected. Mayfield completely dominated the second half...JJack rushed for over 200 yards, and Guhy threw for clost 100. Good win, Cardinals.

Graves played a good hard nosed game. Big crowd but Mayfield nor its fans seem fired up, almost like they took it for granted we would win. Mayfield will now cruise until Thanksgiving.

Hats off to Graves. They came to play and was a hard hitting bunch. The Graves linebackers were very fast and they made it hard for Mayfield to turn the corner on them. Mayfield's D gets the game ball in this one. One hard hitting game.

 

Jackson played his heart out in this one. Congrats Cards.

hard to believe that Graves has not had a better year. I know its a rival game but they suprised me in the first half, they were amazing efficient. We solved their offense in the second half. What a show by the Cards defense and I came away feeling great about our offense who demonstrated that they can still line up and just ram it down your throat if needed. That was somthing I was not sure we could do and will pay big dividens in the playoffs

You mean until Dec...remember, "beat'em with ease"

If we get to the Dec. game that will be an ease.

Don't you mean we, Snake? You say THEY took it for granted, then YOU turn around and take the rest of the schedule to November for granted yourself...lol...You know I'm just giving you crap, but, that just struck me funny...I know what you mean though... Hard to get too fired up for the Fultons, although Marshall, Rslville and Caldwell are pretty decent teams and capable teams if the Cardinals don't take them serious...

They will take them serious but most of those games will be non competitive.
