Cards vs. Patriots game thread

[Russ Smith]

I am saying its typically awful play. A 6 point half, less than 4 yards per attempt, are we really claiming this is good passing? Once again, our QBs suck, not just Kolb, but this effort is no better than the majority of our efforts by QB. Its not as awful as some games we have seen, but its certainly not good, or even average. He has played poorly this game. He cant convert a 3rd, he cant hit guys down field. Its been check down charlie.

I'll take it over him playing like he did vs Minnesota last year, but I am not going to claim its anything but poor play.

Take away the one throw to Welker and Brady has been even worse/

Missed Gronk for a TD, threw a pick, has just dumped the ball off etc.

Now I'm not saying Kolb is as good as Brady that's insanity, but both teams have some issues offensively that are hurting them.

NE's defense is pretty good, so is ours.

Agree but once again Heap got overthrown for a sure TD. No matter who our QB is we simply can't hit a TE down the seam to save our lives...

Housler wouldve had the speed to get to it.

 

[Darkside]

My concern is that I'm positive the Pats will score at least one touchdown and I don't know if we can.

Overall, I'd agree this is a fairly inept offense but it's not on Kolb. He's a part of the problem but it's bigger than him. Let's see some no huddle in the second half and maybe we can give our D a little breathing room.

I'm not putting anything on Kolb but I think if the Cardinals are going to rely on their defense to win this game they are mistaken. It's too much to ask. If Kolb cannot get the offense going and the Patriots score I think we will should see Lindley for better or worse. I hope I'm wrong and the Cardinals can get their offense going.

3 really ugly overthrows! Proud as heck of the BIG D!

We get the ball first in the 2nd half.

Nope, we had it to start the game. They deferred and kicked to us.

Odds on an opening drive NE TD???

So you want to put a rookie in a tie game ?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Need to break out the no huddle and make all those NE 260 lb LBers suck wind.

Agree with this. Gotta change up the tempo

Fair point.

Lindley.. Yea that's the ticket. NOT.

 

[Lagerfilled]

We need 2 go no huddle & get another turnover or 2.

I'm just in agreement with Darkside's comment. If the Cardinals offense cannot get going and the Patriot's score a TD, then the Cardinals still need to think about winning.

My concern is that I'm positive the Pats will score at least one touchdown and I don't know if we can.

Kevin Kolb out passing Brady.. Booyah

Till that play.

Apparently Popeye Feely ate his spinach at halftime.

Gay got beat like a drum.

NE's defense is pretty good, so is ours.

Fail to see why him having a bad game at the same time of the opposing QB having a bad game makes it commendable. Our D is shutting down a 3 time superbowl champ QB, and our offense is wasting the effort.

And our D is better than New England's.

I know the point you're trying to make but these comparisons are silly to me. Brady is a future hall of famer and a superstar who is having a bad game, obviously people are not going to look too much into it and they know he is a better player than what we're seeing. Kolb does not have that kind of background, for most of his career he has been a complete stiff, to see him our there being a stiff is hard to brush off and think that its fine because a guy with crazy amounts of success is also struggling. If Kolb ever has even a fraction of the success that Brady has had then people will gladly gloss over games like today, but he hasnt.

With all the comebacks we have had over the Whiz years I wouldnt call halftime adjustments a weakness.

However, we are going against the greatest coaching mind of his generation so I'd imagine our defense is going to see some adjustments from New England's O next half.

We will see.

 

[desertdawg]

Was that Gay that got burned by Welker?

 

[1DS]

WTF Floyd? I don't even think we were going to snap the ball but he had no clue where to line up people kept telling him and pointing out where to go

Dont get me started on him. Womp womp...?
