Game 1 - What we learned.

[WildBB]

Pretty frustrating 1st half by the vaunted Arizona offense. This team should be up by more than a TD in the half.

Palmer - One of his worse first halfs to date. Should have been intercepted about 4 times. Has had pressure, but is making poor decisions, mostly throwing into coverage and locking in on recievers (partly because of the pressure). Not too much zip on the throws, not using DJ in the pass game to loosen up the D up top.

DJ - Non factor to this point.

OL - See Palmer and DJ notes.

Much improved tackling and overall coverage by the D. Encouraging. If they stay pretty healthy they may have to carry the Cardinals this coming season. I like how Beutcher is rotating the lineman in to keep them fresh.

MLB - It's evident that Reddick is going to add greatly to this D. His tackling is spot on. As he gets the diagnosis part of his game up to speed he can become a real game changing force like the Badger. Good to see the HB is back to his old self. I hope he can stay there.

CB - Props to Bethel for siezing the reigns for his spot. If he is a positive factor this season - there's no telling. The D has the possibility to dominate.

Looking forward to a better 2nd half from Palmer the Offense and continued presence and stickiness from the D.

Actually you are wrong about not trying to get the ball to DJ in the passing game but the rest you are correct sir

Might Palmer have a dead arm??

He was a bit better in the second half, but was all over the place much of the game

 

[Jetstream Green]

We have no running game, our OL has no push. Talking about age, Iupati is showing too

 

[BigRedRage]

Our line was terrible in the running and passing game both. Runners had no holes, Palmer had no time

I think Keim might be over ranking the offensive line has built over his tenure.

 

[PJ1]

Agree but there was good and bad with Bethel.

 

[eastcoastSUN]

One of the most worrying things was when Palmer had time, he completely UNDERthrew his receivers on the out/curl routes. Saw this happen at least 2-3 times...

Cardinals at an average age of 27.3 years have the oldest roster in the league. It showed today and that won't be getting any better as the year goes along. Time to blow it up and rebuild. The window for Larry has closed.

The coaching stinks.

He obviously hasn't been practicing enough but the OL gave him no chance

What I learned- the Cards and 49ers will be neck and neck all year trading places in the division standings multiple times- too bad it will be at the wrong end

After that performance Boone needs to take iupatis spot immediately.

I actually thought bethel played fairly well.

Bettcher is a front running D-Cord. He can't event adjust his ******* let alone his game plan.

Palmer is done. Yes it is early, but after last season and what we saw today, he is.

Sorry guys, that's all I got...

He's been done ever since tha meaningless SEA game that jacked his finger.

This had nothing to do with Bettcher, it had to do with a offense which possession after possession did nothing

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

Palmer's arm is not dead. His legs and brain are.

I actually think he hurt that finger against Philly. It was the same game that Badger blew his knee out late in the game when we were up by 35 points.

Not only him but veldheer looked slow and lost half the time on the right side.

 

[wit3card]

Palmer isn't spot on ... he throws bad balls, that was evident.

We need him to do better. This wasn't a good game.

Hopefully next sunday we see a much better team, hopefully than we win.
