what about that smack in the back on the kick return..oh well.

that's another problem I have with Mac: he never gets on the refs. Not in their face like you should. You know, to keep them honest.

oh well...we will get a new coaching staff and be back as a front runner in the eli manning sweepstakes.

bad news: I took the over on # of wins for the cardinals this season (4.5..so they need to win 5 games)..but I won enough on the chargers preseason game so that I will breakeven if I lose my season long bets....5 wins is starting to look iffy.

Someone needs to lose their job for this

2 jason mcaddley, bryan gilmore type receivers for the Browns are killing us..northcutt is almost expected..who are these other 2 guys?

 

[pinnacle]

another positive...dale hellestrate is calling the game..he is the early morning guy on KDUS...at least he knows the players and generally what he is talking about...

 

[BradMannTX]

Why the HE11 can't we address the freakin' blitz!!!!! Everyone knows Blake cannot handle it!

 

[pinnacle]

seems like I have this thread to myself.....

I am ready for josh mccown..at least in the 4th quarter. Our receivers actually seem to get open...blake never sees them.. are we sure plummer is not still our QB? The oline is not helping the situation.

And that person should be whoever decided to go into the season with no experience at WR and Jeff Blake as QB and this inept coaching staff.

Our WR's are getting open?


I haven't seen many guys running free. In fact, I haven't seen any. The only flagrant miss was in the first half when Jones was open and we wound up kicking a FG instead.

Another wasted timeout. Sheesh! - you would think this team would at least be able to get the punting unit in, it's not like they haven't had game experience.

 

[pinnacle]

ajcardfan..It is hard to tell..but they have run like 3 replays and show that guys seem to be open but blake never throws to them...

this one is hard to tell unless you are at the game...I am way more down on blake than our receivers..but it is all relative.

 

[BradMannTX]

Is Blake having the "too short" problems Jake used to have? It seems like that is why he can't beat the blitz, because he can't see over the onslaught unless he rolls out + batted balls + over/underthrows + interceptions

thompson was moving his legs..wasn't he?

Legs and arms.

 

[pinnacle]

something else about blake...he absolutely cannot throw on the run for some reason...he seems to be very inaccurate when he is moving - which is required on about every play...

 

[ajcardfan]

I'm not against a new QB pinnacle. But, a QB change is not all that is needed for this offense. It wasn't last offseason, it won't be this offseason either.

 

[pinnacle]

ajcardfan....I would like to find out if mccown has any talent whatsoever...hard to tell as long as we leave blake in. 34 - 6...may as well give mccown a shot.

 

[Renz]

Yeah. Barrett deserves #1 CB money.

I think McCown will get to play now.

If he gets in, I predict he stinks.

Horrific Horrendous Appalling Sickening Dreadful Horrible Terrible Dreadful Awful Ghastly

 

[pinnacle]

ajcard: at least we could flush out that issue now...since we are now squarly in the eli manning sweepstakes..I would not want to see us pass on him because we think mccown is the future.

 

[pinnacle]

well....Mac said the team never quits....as of right now...the cardinals defense has quit...especially the secondary.

 

[pinnacle]

another stat I would like to see...how many plays have we blitzed adrian wilson and how many sacks does he have?..we seem to use him quite a bit on the blitz..not sure he is the right guy to send..

 

[BradMannTX]

My fantasy team has the same problem. I have talent, but I can never seem to get it all together on the same day and I can't motivate my players to play as a TEAM. They all are in it for themselves. I think I should fire myself.

Out of the 32 teams in the NFL, I would rank us 33rd.
