Hood wasn't the greatest but I never saw him look totally lost like McFadden does today. Without a doubt #25's worst game as a Cardinal.

Hood was no world beater but he was better than McFadden, McFadden can't make a play on the ball to save his life.

Ask your mom to spring for DirecTV so you can actually see the game. I'd say the penalties on those two are far from egregious.

Don't worry my roommates and I pay for Cox Cable in HD, I can see just fine. Last time I checked a referee didn't cause McFadden to have no idea where he was on the Housh pass, which really pisses me off since I saw way too much of "I can't turn my head towards the ball" syndrome last year. Gandy has been ticking me off all season, so even if he gets flag for a BS call I will get mad. I am so sick of penalties right now, so I'll just keep it to myself from now on. Only positive posts.

Well, you're alone in that opinion, but since you seem convinced I guess we'll just have to wonder why Rod Graves let him go.

Try to remember among "all" the plays on the ball Hood made, how many times he gave up even bigger plays. With his "spot on" coverage.

I can buy that. Bad game. Not enough to make me wistful for Hood. I can very easily remember games where he didn't look lost....getting repeatedly burned.

But that was from guys running by Hood.

On several plays today McFadden has either lost the ball or the WR. Started with the first drive where he was looking in the backfield instead of at the WR and the Seahawks completed a first down pass 6 feet from him.

I will say this about Wiz, he knows what plays to challenge unlike many other coaches.

I don't like the challenge in this situation. Maybe challenge it if it was third down, but not first.

You are smoking... McFadden has had a bad game today but has been solid so far.

Remember.... Chicago let go Hood in the pre-season as well.... And we all saw how poor their secondary is.

We will disagree, if you really think McFadden has been "solid" this year when teams complete passes on him regularly then there is obviously no way to convince you otherwise.

McFadden is not a playmaker and he isn't any better in coverage than Rolle was at CB.

No argument there. McFadden is having a bad day. I'll still take him over the guy who isn't even there in coverage.
