IF someone else is going to listen live please post it I'm booked up. If not I'll listen to the archive later and post it.

Really want to hear someone ask Green if he agrees with JJ's comment on that run, I gotta believe Green will be mad as hell about that.

Boldin and Fitz cant do it by themselves. they want to be the best duo in he NFL and want to be on a better team. (edit: Woops! this implies they want to leave the Cards, not what he said.....They want to make this team a better team!)

Rackers is pushing hard on the rehab. His leg felt fine. He shortened his steps. Probable for next week. wont kick till thursday or friday.

Arent scoring enough td's in redzone. Rackers has proven he is the best kicker in the NFL. If opportunity presents itself to break record but he had some chances to get more kicks this year but Cards were trying to be sportsman about winning.

Watched Houston game yesterday. Not as bad as their record. Lost games by bad luck. try to get 3rd straight win on road.

Lost 4 games where we had ball in last drive. Inability to convert is killing us. Last 3-4 minutes killed this team...Carolina, Jax, Washington Rams, should have won

Yeah, well, too bad. That's what people are talking about because those last two plays were atrocious.

I'm not surprised, he doesn't deal with any controversy in these pressers. and he's always said he won't call out players to the press so even if he thinks JJ Arrington is a girly man he's not going to say that when asked.

But it sure would have been nice to hear if the first play was an audible or not, and why they felt on 4th and 2 we should "trick" Washington instead of trying to get the ball in Boldin's hands. That's what I can't get over, 2 biggest plays of the game and Boldin's not involved.

I actually don't have a problem with the last play call.The reason being, if you look at it on TIVO, you can see if JJ doesn't piss his pants and can get by Taylor that he would probably have scored.There was no one between him and the goal line. The play was blocked correctly and it's usually the backs job to make 1 guy miss. For JJ to say he got all he could out of the play is ridiculous.

Paul Calvisi asked Fred Wakefield about the last 2 plays and he said one was an audible and one was the play called...

FWIW Taylor said they read the play at the LOS, he said he and Prioleau made eye contact prior to the play on what was coming and Taylor said he had a running start to the play. He said they all stayed inside their blocks to string JJ to the outside where Taylor was running so he had the play 1 on 1.

I couldn't tell from the angle I saw who was the last guy it may very well have been Taylor but he seemed to be saying he wasn't.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the 3rd down was the audible, because Boldin said the 4th down had a check in it to the pass and since we ran, that implies we didn't audible.

Yea, but Taylor also said he didn't pull a gun on that guy either :D . By the way, whatever happened with that?
