Anyone see who the injured cardinal was on the GW fg? Looked like terrell smith.
It was Nathan Hodel

I am glad they won a game they should have dominated, but I still hate Rackers...

As the week goes on I think(for me anyway) it will fell less hollow. We lost games this way plenty of times this century, surely we're due for some wins.

Of course a win is much much better, but don't bury your head in the sand and ignore that this team sucks, both coaches and players except for a handfull of them.
Talk about an overreaction.

It really seems this team cannot play well with a lead. The offense goes into a shell and the D gives way to much cushion on the WR. That was a truly terrible 4th quarter...

Talk about complacency.
Your right. You absolutely have players on this team that are complacent. No doubt about it.,

The beauty of the NFL is that a win is a win is a win. I would rather play horribly and win then play well and lose.
I was going to go ballistic if we lost this game. But we didn't.
And in the offseason when we are reflecting and thinking about how we anticipate next year will play out - we will form our judgements (assuming we beat the Rams) based on the record rather then how we individually played each game.
And thats fine - with this team the perception is more important then the reality. At some point these players will just have to believe.
I think what is skewing alot of peoples perceptions is that we are not the same team (and especially defense) that we were the first 6 games. The talent level just isn't there. Everyone keeps talking about our secondary but we lost our #1 corner and best player from that unit. What do you expect?
Needless to say - I'll take it.

It was an entire 2nd half, the offense couldn't move, the defense gave up yards and scores, the special team was nothing special.
And we are talking about against one of the worst teams.

That may be because they are nvere used to playing with a lead.They usually are scrambling their way back into games.

One of those bad exchanges, but they never replayed it to see exactly how it happened.

Peeps, we are 7-8 with a chance to hit .500 next week.
I'm not doing cartwheels or anything, but some reactions need to be tempered.

Yup .500 ball is a HUGE step in the right direction with this team. Especially .500 ball with our health the way it is and has been with KEY players.

there was a game back in 1996 when we beat the Skins 27 to 24 with a last second FG, which brought us to 7-8, after we had climbed our way up to 6-6 and in control of our playoff destiny, only to follow it up with two straight road game ass kickings. Same kind of thing here. Too little, too late win... although this one's a little less exciting considering the Skins were actually an NFL football team.

barley beating a horrific team in a meaningless game isn't much to stoke my ticker. I'm happy they won, but there was nothing exciting about it to me.

I guess as Cardinals fans our expectations level is quite low... so we get satisfied with very little.
