Maybe, but I don't care.

How many years have opponents drubbed us?

So sad, too bad. Let the league deal with it.

I don't think so. We're Arizona man. Even Fitz, last week and this week, said the games have a different feel and vibe to them.

BA is instilling a sense of dominance in this team. A sense of belief. He's getting them used to it, the winning, the scoring, the domination.

He also wants them to know what it looks like and feels like when an opponent is beaten, before they even know. That's how you win.

I recall a game against the Cowboys about ten years ago where Tony Romo faked spiking the ball and when our D line eased up he ran it in for a TD just to pad the score and the announcers saying how great that was and how the Cardinals need to be prepared for such things and shame on them that they weren't. This is the NFL. We took enough ass beatings that I can't recall anyone letting up. We can't win the games by enough as far as I am concerned.

We are, but we are only doing it because of the current practice limitations. We aren't the only team that is leaving the starters in through most of the 4th quarter in a blowout. We have done it in each of the last 2 games and the Pats did it today against the Jags. The Bills also appeared to do the same thing today. I think it is something we will see on a regular basis in these blowouts because of the practice schedule.

Edit: Looking at some games last week you can add the Steelers against the 49ers and the Titans did it against the Bucs as well.

No. I think they could have easily scored more.

This was sent from my cell pjone so please excise any typeos or other errors.

:yeahthat:

Could have probably dropped 70 on them today. There is no way we ran it up.

I'm so enjoying the thread title:

"Are we guilty of running it up?"

Has anyone ever thought this would be a Cardinals topic?

Kicking a FG up 35 would've been more disrespectful. Nothing wrong with hooking up DJ with some carries and #11 a TD he deserved.

San Fran ran up 55 points on us in 2003. Seattle beat us 58 to 0 in 2012. Pretty sure the rule is that if the defense can't stand up for itself, then all bets are off. As it should be.

Guilty, guilty?? Really?? Cards are guilty of nothing. They beat their butts. Leave it at that.

we've scored 17 touchdowns in 3 games.

That's ridiculous.
