Larry and Carson showed guts. Everyone else should have hit the showers after the Brice Butler TD. Also, there should be an asterisk next to the Cowboys sack total because our OL might be the worst in Cardinals history, and that is saying a lot.

Fitzgerald had a hell of a game. That catch he made on scandrick was incredible and almost made the difference in the comeback effort. Honestly this game was decided when the kicker missed a chip shot field goal early. Dallas played well after that but those type of starts make them beatable. From there the cards could not protect palmer. If he was protected he had plays. Dak made some huge throws downfield that he has to do more often especially early in games.

We cant even blame the injuries, because all things considered, the left side held up pretty well. Veldheer just got destroyed but I mean, everyone in the world could see he couldn't block 90, and BA just refused to do anything to correct it. I swear it's Whiz stubbornness all over again.

Can someone tell me how the coaches thought the D would be good starting literally the worst D-Line I've ever seen?

We went from a dominant D line with Dockett-Williams-CC to Rucker-Peters-Mauro. I mean, that could be the worst D line the Cardinals have EVER had.

Oline & Special teams just killing this team same as last year. Just hope BA doesn't start his post game rants calling out players, refs etc. Risk it no biscuit just don't cut it no more.

Palmer and Fitz were money. The two together nearly willed this team to a W

Only problem was that Veldheer and the rest of the line didn't want to play. No run game established, no push up front, couldn't get to the second level, and pass protection was as bad as any line I've ever seen.

More proof, if any were needed, that dominant line play wins games. The skill position players played the game about even, and I'd say that Carson played courageously, but ....

Our D line is pedestrian at best and the O line is bad. Humphries - out, Iupati - out, Veldheer - out of position, Boone - completely new to the team and scheme, Shipley - mediocre and always has been, Boehm - first year starter.

The Cowboys lines beat the hell out of ours, our schemes didn't help much, and the result was that we got no pressure but were under constant pressure. That's the game. (and the story of the season to come, unless something happens magically to change it up)

Veldheer kept walling his guy 8 yards deep but Palmer was continually right there to be eaten up.

Why did ba not even attempt using Holden instead of. Veldheer? He couldn't have been any worse.

This game was really depressing.

We totally lack offensive playmakers other than Larry and David Johnson, and Larry is retiring. It really may be for the best if they tank.

Beyond the sun.
The **** mop crew has a long night cleaning up the broadcast booth. As soon as the Cowboys took the lead, Gruden and McDonough started shooting loads.
