I don't mind the play call on 3 & 2 but they seemed rushed & don't use a rook RB to execute that play:bang:

But both Wiz & BA were both dumb enough to use #75 at LT:bang: lol

Coming off a timeout that shouldn't happen. I thought it was a horrible call. With the Rams kicker we could not give them the ball back there.

Disappointing, but they look way ahead of last year's model. The third down call sucked, I would have preferred a run over that.

The more things change....

4 sacks given up today didn't hear Dockett's or CC's name called once that was the difference. Dockett, Campbell, Levi whole lot of money doing a whole lot of nothing

Yea Dockett was a complete ghost today. Especially for a guy who was being "turned loose.

Really worried about what I saw in game 1. I saw an offense that can move the ball, however we are hamstrung by a bad offensive line. I saw a defense that could not pressure Bradford at all and got shredded. It's going to be a long season if we can't get to the QB.

Simple, their kicker makes a clutch 48 yarder, ours misses a clutch 50 yarder.

I just can't believe the Cardinals could not generate more pressure on Bradford. I won't even comment about Levi.

Just about how I thought this would go and I expect most games to be like this throughout the year. It's going to be a long year boys and girls.

You done bumping your gums? You're taking this negativistic attitude to another level.

No one cares about your bitching and moaning.

That damn 3rd & 2 at the end killed us. Oh well, at least it was an entertaining game.

The schedule ahead doesn't look promising, but stranger things have happened! Still, it's nice to see an actual quarterback for a change.

Without looking at all the other comments, I'm still wondering why we didn't go for it on fourth? Our defense was worthless today, what made Arians think they would hold the Rams before the 50 yard line, and with a kicker like Zeurlin, that was a wrap. Also, Feely's kick before the 1st half is came back to hunt us at the end of the game.

I liked the call to Ellington but it was risky at that time. He was open but that play has to be about perfectly timed and they were off.

Normally I'd be pissed after a loss like this but I'm not mad at all. Guess I'm just happy to see a fairly competent offense for a change.

The D held the Rams to two FG's after TO's deep in their own territory, they just held the Rams to a 3 out whne needed, oh yeah, they scored a TD.

The D wasn't the main problem today. It was the pass blocking and special teams.

The Cards had a long field all day. I wonder what their average starting field position was. It couldn't have been good.

Didn't like the play calling in the second half as much since the OLine seemed to be struggling, but overall, decent game for a new coaching staff.

I wasn't sick at all after watching all four quarters except for missing on the 3rd and 2 at the end...

Way to make something that is not personal, personal. Just because my expectations were more on point than yours for the first week doesn't mean you need to take your ball and go home. I believe things when I see them not when someone new comes around and spins the yarn I want to hear. But that is fine, keep piping your clown ass off to those who don't accept buffalo nickels as a legitimate payment method.

Levi's ineptitude aside, our biggest concern has to be this defense. We knew it would be worse than last year but this was real bad. No mention of DD, Campbell, or PP doing anything--that is just bad scheming. They weren't anywhere in the facinity to make plays. Even our 6 man fronts generated no penetration. Secondary was shredded as well. And as has been mentioned the Rams arent good. Our lack of speed showed.

I expect Nate Potter to get an opportunity at left tackle and a new kick returner. I thought the defense would be good enough, but I was dead wrong. I do expect a lot of changes this week. Good news is the offense looks so much better. A very good day for Andre Roberts and Carson Palmer. I feel by the 4th or 5th week the offense will be hitting on all cylinders. The defense will be a work in progress all season long.
