Skelton looked like crap, but should have given him a chance to get in a groove, especially since we had momentum and a lead. Whiz is desperate.

We had a lead but failing to do much with it was already costing us momentum. How much do you have to see from Skelton before you yank him. He's looked horrendous in every appearance this season except one quarter of a preseason game.

The offensive system and playcalling are to blame here. Period. NO QB has been able to do it, which means it is problematic in itself. These are pro level athletes, they should be able to execute a reasonable system here and there.

well we had 3 turnovers inside the 50...and a run of 40 yards and kickoff ret of 65 yards.....

And Atlanta has been gashing us on 3rd and long. We weren't dominating, we were lucky spurred on by great blitz calls. That stuff rarely lasts.

Talent plays a role also...and right now we have ZERO talent at QB.

Cardinals started losing right when my wife came in and started watching the game. I love her but she's gotta go.

No protection. There's your period.

I would have kept him in to finish the half. Throwing Lindley into the game like that is ridiculous.
