LOL, very true.

Its natural with this team. I give the Cards around a 50% chance of winning this now.

The Ravens will probably go all Oklahoma on us in the second half.

 

[Russ Smith]

It's amazing how much faster our D looks today.

 

[Darkside]

The key is if he gets blocked he doesn't give up he circles around and comes again.

Yep, he's also starting his rush from further back than Porter (who's usually near the line of scrimmage). You can't tell if Scho is covering or Blitzing from where he's standing. (Bradley and Acho are doing the same thing, our alignment is much different without the old guys in, who don't have the speed to cover that distance). By the time he crashes into the line he's built up speed from the extra few feet and knocking guys right into the QB's face. You're totally right: he's a much better block shedder than Porter, there's no comparison.

17-0 Rams over Saints?! Will next week in Glendale be an NFC Championship Game preview?!

 

[SeattleCard]

Finally.... Something to cheer for!!! Please no "Bears 2006" repeat!

It seems like they should, but the way Flacco has played today... and his last several games, I dont think he is capable. They better stick with the run and hope it works.

 

[Darkside]

If they do pound the rock a lot in the 2nd half, they'll probably gash us. Porter and Haggans set the edges better than the youngsters, but I'll take the pass rush any day of the week.

 

[seesred]

Flacco will be forced to pass the 2nd half. Blitz,Blitz, Blitz! Keep O'brien, Bradley Washington and Petersen HappY!

Loved Larry's quote in the paper today:

That theory, however, doesn't work for Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald. The Ravens' losing to the Jaguars on national television and dropping to 4-2 is one thing. You want angry, Fitzgerald said, try going six weeks (and counting) without winning.


"They lost one game," Fitzgerald said. "We lost five in a row. If anything, they should be worried about how nasty we're going to be. We're a hungry group and we've got to get a win any way we can. I don't care if it's 3 to 6, 2 to nothing, whatever it comes out to be.

"People have said that to me a couple times. They've lost one game; that's the end of the world for those guys, they're 4-2 now."

I saw THESMEL posted something about Kevin Kolb today and was shocked he would talk about anything else but Beanie Wells.. then I actually read the post and it was really all bout Beanie. Way to be sneaky, THESMEL!

 

[gmabel830]

And the comeback is on!!

 

[splitsecond]

no excuse for having jefferson on boldin.

No worries! They're back!

 

[Darkside]

They got us right where they want us.

 

[THESMEL]

That PI is not called 90% of the time anywhere. Refs 7

 

[Phrazbit]

no excuse for having jefferson on boldin.

Agreed. I have been confused by some of the posters praising his play so far this year. He is a disaster in single coverage.

 

[gmabel830]

We are probably the only team in the NFL where with an 11 point lead the fan base universally thinks "WE'RE DOOMED!!!!"

 

[RedViper]

Just the other half of this teams fatal flaws. Can't ever hold a lead no matter how insurmountable it appears.

 

[WisconsinCard]

Well anybody that thought this game was over at half just hasnt been watching card football for very long. We still need to score
