Everyone needs to relax look on the bright side... we have 13 days to enjoy a professional football team in Arizona that doesn't lose a game.

Hmm.. maybe Bartel does enough in garbage time to give people something else to discuss this week beyond how bad we suck. (no way he takes Kolb's job)

He looked exactly like he did before the last preseason game.

He stares down his receivers and he throws into coverage too much.

1 pick, 2 more that could have been easily picked if his WR's didn't deflect them. I know Kolb was bad today as well but if we actually started Bartel I think it would tell the rest of the players we've given up because he's just not ready to play in the NFL.

He'd be better with a week of practice knowing he's the guy of course but he never looks anywhere but where's he's throwing.

Yeah, I'm not high on Bartel either -- but at least it would have given us something to talk about for 2 weeks.

I'm not going to defend Kolb today I missed most of the first half and what I did see he was bad.

But I just think people like Bartel because they haven't seen him that much. We saw too much of Hall last year and we saw enough of Skelton to see he wasn't ready. So when Bartel played well the last 2 preseason games people decided on him.

Kolb has to play better no doubt, but if he's not the guy, the guy isn't on the roster.

I would not let Russ Grimm on the plane.

if its our OL in charge of keeping him from getting on he'll have no trouble getting by them.

He really needs to go though our OL is horrible.

He's the Mean Joe Greene of the offensive line, another HOF'er that was terrible as a coach.
