No new injuries.
Disappointed in last night.
Gonna do what he knows works for "us".
He says they were handled up front. Gonna do some things to counter that...
He felt like the team was ready to play. First fumble deflated them. 3-and-15 conversion also hurt.
On the first fumble: "Beanie didn't get his arm up", didn't think he is impatient or anxious to get the ball.
Didn't challege Crabtree TD because they didn't get a good review until after the PAT.
"It's hard for me to sit here and say we don't have a bad football team"
We know our preparation routine works, we won't change anything.
Don't want to lose our identity. Wants to stay the course.
Don't foresee making a change at QB.
Wishes DA would have handled outburst better. He talked to DA and Deuce and his sense is that what is being reported is not what really happened. He's not reading too much into a few seconds of sideline video.

If this team has an identity, he should want to lose it because it's not a good one.

Anderson remains the starter.

Yep. I've been e-mailing Somers to call Whiz out on playcalling, personnel decisions, etc. I think he asked one benign question. We need more women in the press room.

Never seen so many people (including myself) hanging on every word the man says on one of his pressers than ever before; yet I dont think there's a single thing he could have said that would make all of us happy.
Im tired and irritated about this season and cannot wait for the offseason to come.

Very concerning. It's obviously not working and there are times you have to change and adapt. If he stays this stubborn ..... not good.

He at least clarified his continued use of "We're going to keep doing what we know works" as being practices and preparation as opposed to staying with the same schemes and personnel.
The problem is that his personnel decision making has been horrendous and continuing to trot DA out there is akin to forcing us to watch re-runs of an According to Jim marathon.
His continued lack of commitment in the running game doesn't show me that he's willing to change his scheme one iota. We ran the ball 10 times in this game (DA's scramble for 0 yards excluded). Early in the 3rd quarter, Beanie looked like he was starting to get on a roll. We had a drive and in the first four plays he ran the ball 3 times for 17 yards. But the last run of 4 yards was called back for holding on AP...I mean Levi Brown. In the remaining 6 plays of that drive (excluding the punt), we passed 5 times and Beanie ran it one time (In a 2nd and 10 for a loss of 3). I understand the logic that Whisenhunt is using in these situations. We just had a hold and went from a 2nd and 2 to 2nd and 12. If you have a halfway decent QB, your odds are better throwing. However, your running back was looking good and just made a nifty run for 8 yards before the following penalty and your QB has proven to be unreliable, inaccurate and turnover prone.
So why not stay with the hot hand? Up to that point Beanie had touched the ball 3 times (1 bad handoff, 1 nice completion and 1 run of 2 yards). After this possession, Beanie was given the ball just one more time in a 2nd and 16 situation (after DA took a sack to start the drive) and gained 1 yard.
It is simply mind bottling (Thank you Will Ferrell) that our staff not only picked DA to be the starter over Leinart but that after seeing how TERRIBLE he is, we continue to rely on his arm and decision making. We need to just say, "F* it, we're running the ball 75% of the time and the rest is punts and the occasional pass to try and keep them honest).
Conrad said it perfectly. It seems that, what, 90% of us saw this coming with DA and were shaking our heads in disbelief at the decision to jettison Matt and tie our hopes to a QB that had PROVEN himself to stink so badly that he couldn't beat out Brady Quinn for the starting job in freaking CLEVELAND.

What identity? The one of us being losers and underperformers? The one of us being totally embarrassed on national TV? Or the one where we continue to suck week in and week out, yet we do nothing to change it?
Kent Somers being interviewed live on ESPN right now.
Kent Said duece said "He had DA s back no matter what " DA said "thanks" and thats what they were smiling about.

IF AND WHEN HEALTHY...
DID any of the press ask him what that "identy" is? If not, Why the hell not?
Also, I want to hear a reporter ask Whis, "When you cut Leinart and chose DA as your starter is this what you invisioned?" "And, if iit is not what you invisioned, what in Anderson's proven past led you to believe he could lead this team to a division title?"
And/ Or, "Where is the leadership on this team and if a fumble on the first offensive play of the game is enough to deflate this team--as you say--what does that say about players/coaching staff on this team?"

Did any body else just see that?

So not true... How 'bout these for starters:
- Benching DA for the rest of the season. The QB position will not be handled by Hall and Skelton.
- Firing Bill Davis, effective IMMEDIATELY!
- Realizes that what has been used in the way of preparation has NOT been working. That this team does NOT have an identity. Therefore, changes in how we prepare will be made.
- I'm very disappointed in our performance and our inability to control the lone of scrimmage on both side of the ball at any time during any game. It's surprising. I'm frustrated by it and changes will be made.
- 2011 Jobs are on the line for the rest of the season... The balance of the year will be used to determine who are starters and keepers, and who aren't.
- I expect us to be far more competitive the rest of the season. Can't promise wins, but I can say that with the above changes, we will do allw e can to put a better product on the field for the balance of the year. (Of course, none of us fans really want this as we need to be sure the Cards will lose out to ensure our highest potential draft pick...
).Those are just a few that could've produced some praise from the fanbase...

Like the way Sam Bradford or Colt McCoy have been damaged. Joe Flacco damaged his way to an AFC championship game his rookie year.

Yeah I have the fear even if we did LUCK into a QBOF Whiz almost certainly will screw him up with his stupid mind games and not playing him, and or just not playing towards his strengths. I am afraid Whiz is no where near the coach we all thought he was or wanted him to be. This team has gotten away from him badly so much so I think one really has to legitimately wonder if he needs to go!
