Gameday thread Bengals at Cardinals 11-22-15

[Azlen]

I'm betting the Green Bay game gets flexed to Sunday night. The Steelers and the Ravens are in that spot now and considering that Baltimore is done for the year, that game doesn't hold much appeal any more.

 

[crisper57]

NOW they can't say the Cardinals haven't beaten anyone.

Yeah, but we didn't beat anyone good convincingly...

I have a feeling that Powers will be in K9's goat list..

NFL rule #1: thou shalt not flex out of the Steelers

Should get all 3 spots for 3 different plays.

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

Yep. Heartless 8-2 team......

No kidding lol..

Maybe he prefers the McGinniss "one heartbeat" era?

Hard to do that when that's a hard hitting rivalry game

 

[crisper57]

I love this team! I hate close games! Until they are over...

Marvin Lewis said the call was a "phantom call" at the end.

I went back and watched it and in the replay peko bounces his head like he yells out a "hut" or something.

If the Dlineman didn't call out the snap count it was. But hey we ain't giving it back, considering we were robbed in Pit & against the Lambs

If you heard that you've got the ears of a dear

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

I'm sure someone on the field was mic'd up....maybe we'll get a sound byte later in the week.

 

[Covert Rain]

This team is winning despite making what seems like big mistakes every single game. They are still winning but if the team can clean those up?

How scary good will this team be?!?!!

How would he know? His defense is probably lying to him.

I didn't say I heard it I'm saying his head bounced like he said it lol

 

[nashman]

Palmer signaled to the ref right away that they were faking snap count, they don't call that unless a ref heard it. To bitch about that call is ludicrous anyway we were in field goal range either way. If anything he should just be upset his defense let us go quickly downfield into fg range...

 

[Bert]

I didn't say I heard it I'm saying his head bounced like he said it lol

I saw his head bounce, his whole body motion right there had the look of someone who was screaming out the snap count.

Plus the Ref was in perfect position 3 feet from the play and he called it right away.

What's Marvins alternative to blaming the refs? (WHich he does on a very regular basis btw) "Um Yeah I lost yet another huge game under the lights, my fault."

Have literally never heard him do anything but complain after a loss.

Man I'm still pumped... still can't get over that last play though. That was the type of typical "shoot yourself in foot" moment that could have been decisive in this game. I can't believe Carson didn't just tell them "A penalty here sends the game to OT with a clock run off, I'm taking a knee so don't move, no matter what... better yet don't move until the whistle blows".

I get that Larsen may have been induced to jump because of the defense simulating, but that is rarely called because the ump isn't position to hear it until the last 5 minutes of the game and they won't call it unless it is 100% obvious and usually they'll mask it a little. Getting the defensive penalty was not a guarantee and in fact I would say it was really lucky it was called even when it is deserved.

This one went our way, but a lot of time they don't. It is usually a lot of little mistakes and bad judgements that have turn into or added up to big problems. If we can clean that stuff up a bit we will be in even better shape than we are.

I digress too much but when Larsen did the "pointing game" after he jumped and I saw the yellow flag hit the ground my heart sank. Fortunately it went our way, but totally unexpected... I mean when was the last time you ever heard that penalty called? I don't think I've ever heard one called in a Cards game and probably a few years or more since I've heard it in a different game.

Crazy stuff.... go cards! On to San Fran!

Exactly. It's a rare penalty n I'm glad the umpire was right there to hear it.

Or maybe it was sarcasm and a reference to how many times this team had been called heartless or front runners or fools gold in these game day threads every time they get down by 7 points.

Smh

 

[DemsMyBoys]

The Cards were in their nest in November because it was Sunday
The Bengals came to see them thinking they were gonna play

The Birdgang said you don't get do that, no you don't..there's just no way

So cry, baby cry..... While you watch the Cardinals fly

 

[NMCard]

If the penalty would have been on the Cards would the clock have ran off?

I don't think it's luck though because Larsen wouldn't have jumped if they didn't simulate the snap. BA said in his post game interview though he wished Larsen would have just stayed in his stance even if the ball was snapped since it was going to be a spike.
