Gameday thread Chargers at Cardinals 9-8-14

[NJCardFan]

Yep. Like I said, fair weather fans all over the place tonight. That's ok though, can't expect everyone to be fans of the team, up or down. Lots of people looking for the first sign of adversity to abandon ship.

Not every win is a blowout win, folks.

I've been a fan of this team since the mid 70's genius and I can guarantee that I've been through more adversity than you have as a fan of this team. I've had my back kicked in for the better part of 40 years so until you have that kind of track record I suggest you shut your mouth.

Grow up. I don't hate. I never hate. I only report on what I see.

They did not play all night though like they had no heart. When our defense is not perfect now people freak out lol

 

[Buckybird]

was it over when the germans bombed perial harbor???? Hell no!!!!

I'm bringin us back a win in NY Big Mike! Don't even need the voodoo doll...or should I take it?

 

[Red Dawn]

We seem to get that accusation every time the other team takes a lead. I just think it should go in it's own thread instead of dragging down the Gameday thread. Let's face it, no heart is the ultimate insult for these guys.

2 Game threads? One each for Koolaiders and Darksiders lol

The defense was all heart. Hurt, winded, drug down by the O for the first game. Frostee and Abraham go down. Then they bring the pain when it counts.

Great game by Foote!! Really didn't think he had that in him.

The differance in this D & I said it earlier this offseason & it was gonna play a HUGE factor in us prolly not making a playoff berth is the double A-gap blitz.

Bowles & our defense lived & thrived with it last year. This year it just doesn't get to the QB. Still a good D, but not as dynamic.

 

[Chaz]

Cards won just about every category.

Not necessary. Rip the team, rip the players etc. but save the "no heart" crap for it's own thread or at least wait until the team really throws in the towel. JMO.

Hey it's ok. I just know what to expect from you from now on. When you say the game is over in the 3rd, and this team has no heart - you don't really mean it, and you'll quickly jump right back on board when we win

So while we are measuring ..... whatever let's understand something. I started rooting for the Cards when I was 13 so over 40 years now. Yes there have been more bad times than good but to call this current team heartless is wrong and an overreaction.

I get the years of loosing and countless ways of finding a way to screw things up so that the team lost can erode ones soul. Thing is that's not been the scenario since Michael Bidwill has gained control of the team.

Does questioning the teams heart feel better than questioning their talent? If our HC or whatever was better then we would win more games because we have the talent??????

Chargers aren't a sucky team and beating them is something to be proud of.

I think the Chargers are a slightly above average team and will likely be in the playoff hunt all season. The defense was impressive but until late in the game our offense was quite disappointing. I don't expect our offense to struggle like this most nights so I feel pretty good about this win.

I like how aggressive Bowles is with his playing calling in crunch time situations. I don't care how ugly that win was...it still feels so good!

You guys are killing me right now. Points made, take a minute...we all get pissed off and come out with daft stuff.

Enjoy this win today..... Just imagine Browns dancing feet and smile

Loved the aggressive blitz calls on that final drive. Had Rivers all shook up

I thought the OL was supposed to be improved. Huh?

If you didn't see improvement, you must not have watched much last year. I saw huge differences in protection tonight.

Come on now, not their fault our TE's can't block 1-on-1.

MASSIE= Ugh!

Can someone explain what hall happened of the Delay of Game call at the end? I watched game? I was celebrating the loss of yardage yet it appeared they never marked it off , unless ESPN HAD WRONG chyron.

They gave SD a timeout instead...

 

[Phrazbit]

Man, glad I was not in here while watching the game... looks like things got smarmy. The D was overall pretty good, the O-line was a classic Cards O-Line, and Palmer was a bizzare comination of super-awareness and very little.

As well as Palmer played at times, it feels like we're a QB and a pass rusher away from being elite... which are two hard spots to fill. We've got some dynamic players every where else though.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Who called the timeout? It was long expired, even Rivers threw the ball down in disgust

 

[jbeecham]

They never said on the broadcast... I'm guessing one of the coaches.

Pretty sure it was BS. There seemed to be lots of inconsistency with the refs tonight. I'm still in awe that we went an entire game without holding being called against either offensive line (that must be an NFL record).
