Cards / Bengals Game Day Thread

[AsUpRoDiGy]

The Skelton/Kolb combo has to be the most unenjoyable QB combo in the league. One can't hit the backside of a barn, and the other can't grow the balls to stand in the pocket and throw the ball.

How the hell is that pass interference?????

Obvious PI. But Money Mike did it to save a TD. Can't fault him for that.

Oh man, it's gotta be Orton vs. Tebow for the playoffs... it's just gotta be!!

 

[gmabel830]

Miami 17 - New England 0.. I'm at the point where I wouldn't be surprised by anything in the AFC Playoffs.. the Raiders could make the Super Bowl and I wouldn't consider that an upset at this point!

 

[Renz]

Is Bartel active? Can't do worse than Skelton.

 

[Jetstream Green]

let see if Skelton drinks his magic half potion while we get drunk

 

[Rats]

We've been lucky every game this year hasn't been 35-0 bad guys at halftime.

The Cards are a really, really bad offense.

Yeah, everything starts with the OL and it is terrible. But the thing is that we are terrible at pass blocking, totally horrendous and yet we continue calling pass after pass after pass....get a clue Whiz!!!! Run the damn ball more. Quit throwing every 1st down and run Beanie. Hope those patting themselves on the back for Whiz being a .500 coach broke there arm.......he has to fix the O. Warner is gone so stop coaching as if he is there in his prime and run the ball more.

Story of first half:

Skelton 5/13 (38%), 63 yards, 2 ints... what is his QB rating? 10?

We ran only 6 times... but Beanie can't seem to break any either.

Horrible tackling by defense.

No pressure at all.

Again couple of dropped ints.

We did not force any punts.

The only good thing that happenned is two missed FG's.

Gawd, you nailed it. But it would be just our luck that Skelton pulls this game out of his cavity again and the D steps up. Not till the 4th qtr though.

Then we're still sitting here wondering if we need to do something about the personnel particularly at QB.

I have to give Skelton a lot of credit for getting wins with this offense and play calling particularly with his skills. If they keep Skelton what can they do about Kolb?

 

[Darkside]

Been a bad game, especially on offense. We're pretty much doomed unless the offense can do something against a very good defense. It's not very likely.

 

[Brian]

That has to be the worst half of football I have ever seen. All 3 phases. Just terrible.

 

[gmabel830]

John Skelton may be well on his way to breaking the all time record for lowest QBR (ESPNs) since they starting tracking it. That record is currently held by... John Skelton!

 

[Jetstream Green]

Blue Moon is an enjoyable ale, just saying

really, how much football do you watch

 

[Seandonic]

Fix The Ol ....and The Play Calling....pathetic.

This is true Rats. However, I believe that you can't truly get a real handle on how good or bad the play calling is because the pathetic O-line play blows up everything before it begins. The O-line (especially the tackles) are truly sabotaging this entire team.

Grimm needs to be fired! He is a joke! The next off-season move should then be to attain some descent tackles and a new O-line coach.

 

[Jetstream Green]

I have seen other Cardinal halves which make this pale in comparison, LOL

Apparently you missed the first half against the Vikings.

 

[gmabel830]

The comeback starts NOW!!!

We will be .500 or less unless these things happen. You are 100% correct.

Yeah, this one doesn't even merit a mention among the all time worst.

 

[Rats]

Yeah, no reason to run Beanie in the first half..........

 

[gmabel830]

There's Russ.. working hard to earn another paycheck!

 

[PitchShifter]

To think I got up at 5am Xmas day for this...

 

[Duckjake]

The comeback starts NOW!!!

The only comeback we'll see today is the Cardinals to Arizona.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

1-6 to 7-9 is still impressive.
