Cards Falcons 2012 Game Thread

[Russ Smith]

Skelton should never play a snap for Arizona again regardless of the outcome of this game.

To be honest if I'm coaching I put him back in not because I want to but because Lindley is just overwhelmed and you can see it.

If Floyd catches that one ball he dropped maybe Lindley is a little better off but the main thing is he can't read the defenses yet so he's throwing balls into coverage that will get picked.

Skelton is horrible and I'm so tired of his not being ready to play early stuff, but if we want to win the game he should go back in IMO.

 

[desertdawg]

no. Your crystal ball prediction is NOT logical enough for me man

It is a 420 type of logic.

 

[gmabel830]

Some plays yes, other plays (crucial plays) no.

I have no complaints about the OL today except for one huge play (and even then Potter should have probably had some help).

 

[Red Dawn]

Whiz should have waited til the half to jerk Skelton.

 

[Russ Smith]

That mental fart on the fumble return for TD really going to hurt otherwise our defense has held them to just three FG's.

I still say that's a bad call. If that's matt Ryan it's ruled incomplete on the field and the replay is inconclusive. but because it's Lindley they didn't give the superstar initial call and the replay doesn't change it.

Fitz should have picked it up that's on him not Lindley but if that's any other QB they never call that a fumble live.

 

[az1965]

I agree with others that at this point put Skelton back in. Lindley is just not ready.

 

[Bodha]

We MUST draft a QB in round #1... the OL is doing a good job so far

Who?


Everyone knows that Skelton, Lindley, and probably Kolb arent franchise QBs. But just saying "We need a New QB!" Doesnt make one available.

Im a draft/ scouting bum. There is not a single QB in the 2013 draft thats worth more than a 2nd rounder. Do you want to waste a 1st rounder just so we can get a new name in here at QB? Regardless of whether or not hes good?

 

[gmabel830]

Whiz should have waited til the half to jerk Skelton.

Skelton missing the TD pass to Fitz is the play that totally changed the whole momentum of the game, IMO.

That's a bs reply sanders. Talk football or I'll, oh yeah, YOU'RE the moderator . . .

It absolutely isn't. If you are sooooo miserable...then go do something else.

No one forces you to watch the Cardinals. No one forces you to post here.

If life sucks so much and you are going to whine about it in public, then expect advice. My advice is "change it"

One thing I am not doing is letting you or your brother turn this into another round of "Sanders is a meanie moderator". Got it?

Regardless, the players need to be mentally alert and jump on the ball no matter what the ruling is and if whistle is blown or not since you never know... like today

Maybe, but dude we had momentum and a lead...Wiz was waiting for an excuse to yank Skelton even though we had a solid run game working. Why can't you call it like it is. It was a mistake when you have a solid lead to stop the flow of your team on both sides of the ball. Instead he should have kept going to what was working. Running the ball. For the record, this season I have not bagged on Wiz much this season until we lost 5 in a row. I even said with a good Qb and a Oline he could be a decent Head coach as long as he lets someone else make the Offensive game plan. He is not getting the job done and needs to fast or get out of here.

We were already losing that momentum though and Skelton wasn't just bad, he was horrible. I don't know if pulling him was the right decision and I don't know if putting him back in is the right decision. I just think it's absurd to take shots at Whiz because he tried something different. Rip him for being a big part of why we are in this position to begin with but not for grasping at straws. We've lost 5 in a row and we NEED to grasp straws.

[Bodha]

Whiz is a jerk.


PUT SKELTON BACK IN YOU IDIOT. Youve made your point.

 

[desertdawg]

[Red Dawn]

[WarnerHOF]

Exactly the momentum was gone thanks to Skelton he had to do something

 

[gmabel830]

Gotta get Fitz going!!

 

[WarnerHOF]

Wait, is that Skelton or Lindley? Commentators have confused me.

 

[gmabel830]

Dang... I like the attempt -- that was close!

 

[Rats]

That was on Fitz...he slowed up and should have kept running....good throw

 

[Bodha]

I think Larrys lost a step. He wouldve caught up to that back in the day.

 

[Red Dawn]

It is sad watching Larry languish with these qb's

 

[Rats]

No Russ, he didn't. We were running the ball effectivly. HE SHOULD HAVE RUN THE BALL, and picked spots for Skelton to find a seam. A solid Offensive Coordinator would keep going with what was working. They didn't and instead said it was all on Skelton. BS....playcalling has alot to do with it. If the run is working use it.

 

[desertdawg]

Nice laser by Lindley there.

 

[Bodha]

Wow that looked like a pick in real time.
