    I really dislike the No intentional grounding rule

    The premise the thread started with was that the rule favors mobile QBs and that it should be changed. I don't agree with wanting to chnage a rule becaue it favors a certain skill set.

    I really dislike the No intentional grounding rule

    Dan Marino was hands down the best QB I ever saw at knowing when to just throw the ball away and live to pay another down. I can't tell you how many times I saw him sail one over the head of a reciever into the stands inside the redzone only to come back and throw a TD on the very next play...

    I really dislike the No intentional grounding rule

    QB's benefiting from their athleticism is not any kind of unfair advantage. Some guys are mobile, some guys have strong arms, some guys are great at reading defenses, etc. I don't think rules need to be altered because they favor a certain skill. Any given player's strong suits SHOULD give...

    Another play that baffled me

    You will notice Wilson has a habit of extending the ball out as he is heading towards the sideline to try to pick up that extra arm's length of yardage. He does it just about every time he is heading out of bounds. I think he was probably attempting to do that but got hit as he started to...

    One comment on Pittsburgh

    One comment I'll make about Pittsburgh is that they seemed to have found themselves a hell of a kicker. That kid has a serious leg!

    18 runs 45 passes

    I wasn't a fan of Ellington starting the game over C Johnson. It seems to me CJ never really got going. I'd have stuck with the hot hand and fed Johnson the ball enough to get him in a rythym and brought in Ellington situationally. I think the 60 yarder he ripped off late in the game vs...

    16-0

    The two loses have showed me that this is a team that will play well most weeks but will also drop in an absolute stinker when you least expect it. I'm thinking we will probably see 2-3 more of these type of performances at various points this season. I just hope we don't have more than a game...

    Week 5 Heroes and Goats

    Once a team gets behind in a game like yesterday afternoon's game they basically have no choice but to try to bring out anything that is semi returnable. It's tough to cover kicks-offs, especially when you have to do it 6-7 times in a game. Guys get tired. If another team wants to identify...

    Silent Snap Count Required:

    What it seemed like to me was that the 9ers fans would start to get loud and make noise when the Cards had the ball and then for some unknown reason a lot of Cardinals fans would try to "shout down" the 9ers fans by booing or yelling over them which obviously only created even more noise. Most...

    Misc game comments

    I have pretty much accepted that there will always be a significant number of opossing fans in the stands whenever a "popular" team is in town. What I don't get are the Cardinals fans that try to drown out the noise of the opossing fans by booing, chanting let's go Cardinals, etc, basically...

    Misc game comments

    At the game yesterday I noticed something really subtle that CJ does at the end of runs which I had never really noticed or paid any mind to before but is actually quite effective. Right before contact he will kind of quickly shift his shoulders and head as he lowers them so that if a defender...

    Josh McCown Is The Answer

    Wow, this thread takes me back to a very, very dark time and place. This is back when a Cardinals loss would seriously ruin my entire week. Needless to say, I must have been one miserable SOB back then. I've always said that I think McCown is a decent backup QB. Although back then a statement...

    The newest member of the Red Sea has arrived

    Congrats! Always wonderful to have a new Cardinals fan brought into this world :)

    OT - Report concludes Patriots probably cheated, Brady aware

    I think Goodell is setting himself up to have some serious egg on his face... (again) Brady and Kraft are going to push very hard to have an independent arbitrator or panel preside over the appeal and Goodell doesn't exactly have the best track record in those instances.

    Dockett Deserved Better

    Hey, I personally will be doing it a ton over the next few days. ;) Let the free agency bonanza begin!

    Dockett Deserved Better

    I think it was just a case of when you are talking about someone else's $$ it's easy to say what that person should or shouldn't do. Then when it's your money all of a sudden it's nobody's business but your own. Hypocritical, yes, but I would wager we have all been guilty of it at some point in...

    Dockett Deserved Better

    I think Dockett got exactly what he deserved. The market always sets the price. By definition he got got what he was worth. He got a good contract and gets to play for a team that has a legitimate chance to compete. I mean it's not like he went to the Jaguars. $500k is A LOT of money. I don't...

    Deflate gate my arse!!

    Brady is the best I've ever seen. He's done more with less than any QB in history IMO. 4 world championships and 6 Super Bowl appearances are really all you need to know. To me though it's the 14 straight winning seasons. AND the 12 straight 10+ win seasons. (By the way currently on a tear of...

    What team would you like Fitz to be on other than the Cardinals?

    Patriots for me as well. For me the epitome of Fitz' last few years here will be the play agaisnt Carolina last week where he ran a picture perfect, beautiful route and was wide open in the end zone only to have a sure TD thrown a good 15 feet over his head. That was just an awful, awful...

    The D's demeanor after the INT

    Last week you could see it easily. Once the defense realized the offense was incapable of overcoming a more than 2 TD deficit they flat out gave up.

    Cromartie is the best CB on this team

    OK well then assuming all things things were the same in he regular season, who showed up in the playoff game? Cro was the better performer in 2014/2015.

    Cromartie is the best CB on this team

    Always appreciate your opinion 82! Luv ya buddy!! I really don't think that Cro had more opportunities to make big plays yet he consistently made them. PP21 was thrown at more often and just flat out did not make the plays. Against C. Johnson and D. Bryant (Weeden throwing to him) Peterson was...

    Cromartie is the best CB on this team

    Teams throw at Peterson all the time and he doesn't make make big plays. When was the last time Peterson actually made a big play?? It's been about 2 months.

    I guess production doesn't mean all that much anymore?
