All I can say is "same old Cardinals".
As much as the homers want to wail and moan about it, this franchise has been so bad for so long that the names and faces don't even matter. The players assume that they will lose, and then voila, they lose.

Nope I won't say it because thats an easy out. Its the cowards way out
This team loses because they're poorly coached and don't execute all game long. Has nothing to do with ownership or a curse, this goes to coaching and dumb players for blowing the game

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
I just emailed the Pottsville Maroons. Hopefully they'll get back to me soon with a picture of a trophy or a number for a trophy shop.

I said dumb players, I think they can be put into that category

What about playing conservative offense after having 14pt first quarter leads the past two weeks? The Tards should have put up 30-40pts each of the past two games yet after having two TD leads they got too conservative WAY too soon.

Playcalling was not a problem. When up in this league you need to be able to run and hold onto the ball (Hear that Edge?).
Of course it would be best to to have a special teams coverage unit that well actually covers. It seems our plan on ST is to have players flail their arms and yell "Fall Down! Fall Down!"

When the Bears have a run blitz D going and all the Tards do is run right smack dab into the middle of it, isn't play calling??? Listen after about rush #26 and Edge only having 40 or so yrds they should have known there was no running game. Yet they kept going to it over and over. Their strength is the passing game.
Take away 6 of those rushing attempts and turn them into 4/6 passes for 20yrds, take an extra 2min off the clock and the Tards win.
The same damn thing happened against KC. Both KC and the Bears should have been blown out.

Thats a helluva lot of assuming on this game. In fact you're really reaching
Would you still say it was great playcalling if he only went 2/6 and the clock stopped continuously? They lost this game on stupidity by the players, not the coordinators

This isn't on a curse, this isn't even on the coaching, I despise our HC and I'm telling you this had nothing to do with him.
This was a few key players or shall I say large people dressing like players who did this, they have identified themselves, cut them and move on.
That is what I call reaching. If the play calling had not got conservative and the end of the half they might have 7 more points. If they had not ran on 1st and 2nd down every freaking series in the 2nd half, they may have had more points.
I agree with you the players are to blame but the coordinators have their hands in the cookies jar with this loss too.

And, just like in the KC game, with 10:54 on the clock:
They throw on first down - INC
They gain 1 yard on 2nd,
They throw on third - INC
They punt the ball after having run only FORTY seconds off the clock.
I know people want a convenient scapegoat, but it's not that simple.

How many TO's did they get, how many of those were short fields and how many scores did they get off those 6 TO's??
Hey, on the last run of the game why not center the ball rather than run to the hash mark?

I just disagree and I'm not an apologist they don't set the world on fire but they had a great plan that worked in the first half, in the 2nd they went to the run with a big lead, that's just what you do, they don't block people, I think they are going to have to realize they have to throw or die but it shouldn't be that way, you don't pay Edge all that money along with our line and then start throwing with a big lead and rookie QB, no one does that, we might have to start but honestly, no one does that, zero, zilch, none.

13 points off of those turnovers and they weren't all on a short field. When you're up by any NFL worthy team should be able to run the GD ball.
They took themselves out of FG range a couple of times because evidently our players don't know that they need to be at the actual LOS. Penalties, not playcalling
Rackers hooked the ball it wouldn't have mattered if we centered the damn thing. Not to mention he seems to have his head permanently lodged in his ass

Again, you're assuming that everything goes right with our passing game.
There are 3 things that can happen when you pass the ball and 2 of them are bad. NFL teams that win can run the ball. Hell the Bears had one of the worst QB situations in the league last year and still managed to go 11-5

Count me in the "Too Consertive Play Calling" category.
Sooner or later the coaches need to learn that this team cannot run the ball. After a while, running for no gain, wears on a team and brings down moral.
I said to my friend when I saw that the Cards were going for a FG instead of the TD at the end of the 1st half, that the Cards were going to give the game away because they were playing "Not To Lose", instead of playing to win. Of the 3 plays at the end of the half, one of those (preferable the 2nd down play), should have been some consertive shot in the endzone. That makes the players feel like the coaches are trying to win. It's a moral victory for the Bears to just run,run, run, FG at the end of the half.
Give it up. The Cards cannot run. They are a passing team again this year. Use the pass to setup the run and do your best imatation of the Houston Oilers with Moon and rack up the passing stats.
