Gameday thread - Cardinals vs Eagles 12-1-13

[PJ1]

Lack of pass rush and PP dropping pick in endzone led to that TD. Will be real tough to come back. Mistakes again killing our Birds.

 

[AzStevenCal]

This is embarrassing. WAY too many mistakes.

If laying all over your receiver isn't pass interference, no way was that one. Call it both ways.

And to top it off the Panthers are leading 17-6

 

[Cheesebeef]

Not sure how you can think that. Powers was pulling back on the guys shoulder while the ball was in the air and then just ran through the WR, pretty easy call.

yup.

Powers has been awful today.

D isn't really getting good pressure either.

i'd love to hear arians screaming at halftime, he's not afraid of colorful metaphors

We need the pressure if we want to win this game. We always shoot ourselves in the foot. Over and over again

Eagles get the ball to start 2nd half. D has to step it up and get a stop.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

We better come out with a better game plan after the half

Yep, set the tone

need a three and out for sure

 

[Jetstream Green]

Howie Long...stick it, they ask about the Cardinal/Eagle game and when it gets to you, you start talking about Can Newton. Man, stick it

 

[Cheesebeef]

you just can't make as many mistakes as we have, on the road, against a solid team and expect to win.

Fumble on first series, interception on what should have been a touchdown bomb, two key dropped first downs, a dropped INT that led to a TD, then getting mauled on 4th down...that led to a TD.

This was the biggest game of the year, and unfortunately, Arians couldn't be more wrong with his major mantra of the season. Today, the Cardinals are DEFINITELY beating the Cardinals.

Disappointing.

also, with 17 points and 200 yards of offense so far, Arians looks pretty silly calling the Eagles a "college offense". that college offense has looked pretty good against one of the best pro defenses.

screw that. D needs a turnover.

 

[Zeno]

screw that. D needs a turnover.

Agree, Foles is past due

 

[Chopper0080]

1st half in the books and eagles have done a pretty good job of exploiting our weaknesses. Offensive line has been poor and our pass rush has been poor. Other than that, not too bad. Cardinals aren't out of it by any means but need to make some adjustments and get a bounce or two to come back. Bowles will need to take more chances on defense and pressure Foles. Offense needs to make more plays. Floyd missed on two plays, and Housler once. Time to execute, get a stop, get back under one score, run the ball and take our shots.

 

[Cheesebeef]

missing Ellington is hurting this O also. the Eagles can blitz without any fear because there's no one to burn them coming out of the backfield.

and while Mendy has run well, there are BIG holes for him to run through that Ellington likely takes those 15 yards gains and turns them into 30 or more.

 

[PJ1]

I was expecting better than this. We lose and our chance at a playoff spot is gone. I really thought we would play better than we have. Our D does not appeared fired up at all for this game.

Well put.

Shooting ourselves in the foot over and over again, ugh

 

[Cheesebeef]

unfortunately, we had our shot at one and PP dropped it. that was a killer mistake. 7 point swing.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

You must be registered for see images

 

[Cardiac]

screw that. D needs a turnover.

Oh I'd prefer a TO but can't let them score again with us down by 10 already.

I do agree the D will need to get a couple of TO's for us to win this game.

Yep. Those kind of plays make or break a team.

yup. Offense needs to play on a short field.

that drive at the end of the half was just a killer. had two separate chances to kill it with no points and then end up with 7. just hurts. major momentum swing.

 

[freebyrd]

damn this is a long halftime

 

[PJ1]

Yup. You knew it was trouble when he dropped it. Can't give good teams multiple chances.
