I'm not screaming fire.him bevause he fell below 500. He is nothing different than Whisenhunt. He was riding a high flying offense and once it got figured out. He under utilises the best RB in the game. And backs Amos like it's his son....you tell.me how that makes sense....you back Jim shows ignorance if you critisize me yet you show reason why he deserves to stay. His stubbornness on Amos is fire worthy
Are you foreign?

You have one ST coach.. it's not like firing a coordinator and making a position coach interim.. if you fire Jones, who is running special teams the rest of the season. Not saying Amos doesn't need to go, but who are you replacing him with tomorrow?

Freaking Wolfley would be an upgrade at this point

A timeout saving 4 seconds is NOT a good call.

4 seconds are 4 seconds, enough for 1 kick ... (bad that at the end of the game it was against us)

I'm sure he took the timeout way before, they gave him only 4 seconds ... they had to put the time back up ... but nonethless. It was a great punt ... on a butler punt you would have had the chance to call a 2nd timeout before the 2 minute warning ... XD


Amos has to go, since season is over and you can loose out it is irrelevant who coaches ST ... but it is a message to all Coaches ... they aren't save if they build up a bad team.

But my problem is more, how such a big Coaching department can't train and improve any talent. CB for example, CB coach has to go ... no one expect PP21 is playing. And yes Bethel isn't maybe pro player but with his speed and athletic ... if you teach him something ... he should be able to do it. And not regressing each year. How a #1 Round pick that showed in preseason in 1 game more than most players on this team on his position isn't playing is ... concerning. Why draft in the first if you don't need/use him?

Same goes for about all rookies, how Arians doesn't want to play them expect after injury is beyond me. But okay, that is very Wisenhunteskue.

First, the clock stops on a punt.
Second, now you are advocating for using a second timeout to save LESS than 4 seconds.

Timeouts can easily save you 10 seconds, even on offense, so you save them for that. Always. Period.

Bummer, I was hoping English was your second language

It's probably funny only to me, but I had to click 'show ignored content' to figure out who you were replying to. I should have known, since he's the only one I have ever put on ignore... lol

Oh well, let the draft talk begin because this lost has pretty much eliminated the team from the playoffs. My only hope is Keim steps up and tells Arians "we tried it your way and it didn't work so now we are going to do it my way" My fear is Keim doesn't have the testicular fortitude to do it. There can only be one captain of the ship and right now the Cardinals don't have a captain.

Seattle's kicker is capable of making a kick when the snap is bad but the hold us down, why isn't ours??
I saw that also. Low snap, he traps it on the ground, picks it up and spins the laces away for a perfect kick. How come we can't do that? How is Butler so special when guys can do what this guy did?

Wow Barkley had the Bears in position to either tie the Lions or beat them only to have holding penalties kill them on 2 consecutive plays.

I wasn't even advocating for the first ...

Was a good call.

A Good call. was already way sarcastic, I pointed out the obvious and put ... there to cut out the real text that you had to think about.

Miami would have kicked after the 2 minute warning, that makes no difference but so they kicked before and that isn't really a big deal but that lets us more time.

Was a good call.

Clearly not ... but okay.

Than you wrote that it was 4 seconds ...

So already the first sentence is pure sarcasm and pointing out that the 4 seconds helped even the opposite team ... I don't know it is to sophisticated or to weak of an sarcasm?

So again hopefully this time better understandable i write the ... out:
I'm sure he took the timeout way before(, they gave him only 4 seconds, and we know that refs rarely give it right away and let the clock run down so) they had to put the time back up (to 2:04 and it saved 4 seconds,) but nonethless (it was a bad call).
It was a great punt (our ST again couldn't produce but) on a butler punt you would have had the chance to call a 2nd timeout before the 2 minute warning (because he really has no hangtime and 4 seconds would have been too much) XD

In the second part you even see without the sentence between that I'm mocking Butler ... and with the smiley I thought I would be safe. The rest of the part is sarcastic too, because I don't think they will fire Amos.

I think Arians keeps only some players accountable and others not. And coaches, I don't see him beeing the guy to calling out his coaches or keep them acountable. He didn't last year, he didn't this year and so on. The next season is a dealbreaker, if Arians can't adjust and can't start to get something out of his rookies, than we really have a problem, maybe even a Whisenhunt#2.

And on an other note, how so many WR can have a down year on the same time, is beyond me. Something is fishy about that, really fishy.

Side note:
I have to pu up sarcasm shields or something. I thought the smiley XD would show that I did joke about that one.

Tough game to watch. From the start, it felt like we were destined to get close and lose in typical Cardinals fashion.

It amazed me how many times one of the announcers said, "The Cardinals were in the NFC Championship game just last season..." We get it. Don't you have any other bits of trivia to share?

Can't wait for a sugary sweet banner to hang in UOP next week. SMH.

I have so many banner thoughts, think I might submit "UNSPECIAL TEAM" though

Yeah, I know it's been a great tradition. But with them banning anything not blowing rainbows up their ass I would just not hang it this week.
