Go For It!


Wtf Wtf Wtf Wtf!

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

Ya, that was BS.
Not like the defense was instilling a ton of confidence.

 

[Shane]

Hey that was the first TRUE first coaching blunder Whisenhunt has made since he was here.

That was a complete idiotic call in the truest sense especially with only 1 time out left.

JUST DUMB!

[dogpoo32]

I thought Whis was different. That was a "Same Ol'" decision.

 

[TJ]

Could have had a chance for OT, I have no idea what they were thinking. The defense wasnt playing great by any stretch of the imagination

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Agreed. Horrible call.

And lets call another WR screen since it was so effective today.....just not our day.

 

[Renz]

When will we learn? Whenever the Cards give us reason to hope, they ultimately let us down. Every time.

 

[RedViper]

Putting that defense back on the field at that point was outright cowardly. Might as well get back on the bus right then and go back to the hotel. Way to start acting like every other coach we've had in Arizona and maintain the status quo of losing.

You're a cop stop taking drugs.

 

[AZ Sports Native]

this game was one of worst coaching efforts i've seen in a long time by the cards staff

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

wth? 4TH 4 ANT MID FIELD, ONE T.O., AND DEFENSE STRUUGLING!?

 

[CardShark]

Cards conceded defeat with 2:38 left in the game

Well we had all 3 timeouts but it was still dumb....we hadnt held them all game to a 3 an out. Why would we there. The Cards again played like crap. And we also scored under 20 points for the first time in 11 games. But the refs really screwed us. The 4th down call we still had 1 sec on the play clock. and the INT was blantant intereference. I think both refs should be fired. No accountability when it comes to their jobs. Really. So they get down graded. Big wwhoop. I make 2 majopr mistakes and I am collecting unemployemnt. I heard Whiz is sending the tape in...But what will that do. Those 2 calls cost us the game.

If they lose next week I'll feel let down. **** happens. Just don't let it happen again.

 

[Osbern61]

Yeah, bad call. Even in the best case scenario we punt it and stop them with a three and out, we get the ball back with about 60 yards to go with a minute and change left and 0 time outs.
With our offensive weapons you gotta be able to pick up 4 yards there.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

i didn't mind punting it. Your defense has to make a play.They know 3 runs are coming.I don't know why we didn't have 11 playing the run. They would've gooten the ball back and Washington's punter has been struggling all year.I blame the defense not Whiz.

The defense wasn't stopping anything, run or pass. The Cards have shown they are very susceptible to screens. I am very supportive of Whisenhunt, but that was a poor decision. It was 4 down time. Even if the defense was dominating, you can't take that kind of chance when you are down by 7 and 2:38 left in the game.

 

[old card fan]

( Cbus, if you did'nt mind punting it, how did you like the outcome?)

Well, I was going to come on here and tittle my entry 4th & 4, but I see someone beat me to it. My mouth dropped when they made that decision. I thought for sure it must be a fake punt. But then again if we tried to win the game we would not be the same Ole Cards. PISSED. OCF

 

[Zeno]

It was a gutless coaching decision, at that point in the game I would trust our offense to make a play for 4 yards over our defense to hold them under 10 yards.

Pretty much says it all.

[Buckybird]

I love our coaching staff, but 4 & 4 near mid field, 2 timeouts and 2:38 remaining. You have to go for it. The defense wasn't stopping crap and we had no pass rush. I don't understand it. As much as Wiz and has gambled in the past, this decision made no sense. We had our chances. Until we start winning on the road on a consistant basis, no matter how much talent we have we wil never take the next step. We have to win at least 4-5 games on the road. We really need a win next week.

Well, I am a huge Whisenhunt supporter and I think he is and will be a great/smart football coach.. But, he definitely out thunk himself on that one trying to play the percentages. The thing is, was he even watching our defense today? That was just not smart, especially for a supposed calculated risk taker as he claims to be. Even with 11 playing the run, it's more a risk trusting in your spotty defense, than going for it on 4th. IMO

 

[nidan]

Made zero sense to me punting
