How am I getting excited?? Just stating a fact that corrected your intentionally biased distortion...


Good Job.

I believe there is some "intentionally biased distortion" that needs to be corrected in regards to Patrick Peterson's play.

.....actually, I really do not care, I just wanted to write "intentionally biased distortion". :D

Actually he was asked by the moderator of the board to do a weekly article, so he is volunteering to do this.

He doesn't like Gabbert, and defends his stance. He even brings some stats, and examples.

There are other posters who hate certain players, and provide little, if no, reason for it.

I read people bashing Patrick Peterson on this board, and with little to no reason beyond personal speculation.

Pretty safe to say that bashing Peterson game is finding illogical babble far beyond calling out Blaine Gabbert.

Don't think Gabbert was a goat either, and if there was a reason for a goat in concerns to the passing game, it would be the receivers not named Larry Fitzgerald, or Seals-Jones

That's all fine and well... K9 is typically very quick to call out incorrect stats. So I thought it was appropriate to do so here... And yes, we know he's not a Gabbert fan, but who really is?? There may be some, but it's safe to conclude that the majority of this board does not view Gabbert as our future QB solution. At the same time, it's also appropriate to argue that Gabbert was far from being a contributing factor to the loss yesterday.
In fact, as strange as this is, the Cards are the only NFL team to start three different QB's this season. And although we now have 6 losses, none of our QB's were the cause for any of those losses... Which for me only underscores just how comprehensively messed up this team really is...

Gabbert hadn't taken a snap in a live football game(by live I mean not pre-season) in nearly a year. Keeping that in mind, I thought he did well. Did I like his constant dumping? No but as I said, the guy was as rusty as an old bike chain. And, I, for the life of me cannot understand why BA refuses, REFUSES to gameplan to his strengths. Did we run any rollouts? Bootlegs? He is the most mobile QB we've had since Plummer so you gameplan for him, not try to get him to acquiesce to what he's not.

and that my friend is exactly why BA has to go... soon ....

BA is incapable of diverging from his grand master plan (dare I say 'system' ?). Said plan did have a run play that goes straight up the middle. Said run play has been used over and over with AP.
Against hot garbage defenses, our sad O-line opened holes and AP looked like a world beater.
Against any halfway decent defense, BA's single running play is (demonstrably) useless.

We already knew we had no coaching, now we know we have no game planning. Gabbert looked fine and I bet he will look even better in next weeks loss to the Jaguars (even the exalted Brady could not bail fast enough to keep this ship from sinking).

I started a thread complimenting the Eagles on their 2nd half adjustments. For example, they spend a good portion of the first half running in between the tackles and had marginal success at best. Come the 2nd half, they started running more jet sweeps and using different blocking schemes when running through the 6 hole and they started piling up the rushing yards. The game went from a 9-7 Cowboy halftime lead to an Eagles blowout.

Foreman's TD on the play after our failed 4th down conversion tells it all.

It was a failure of leadership to hold the team together. Foreman merely walzed around would-be tacklers for the score. No one bothered to stop him.

Goats = Coaches and Veteran Players. (How many other teams would have gotten their bleep together and clawed their way back)?

I can point to a lot more than that ! LOL.

I am a fan of all three QB's on the roster, just wish we drafted one over the last two years, but it is was it is.

Gabbert played fine last week, Stanton was fine the week before, and even Palmer looked like what you typically get from Palmer when not on his back.

I'd put it on the receivers before Gabbert when it comes to last game, that and the defense completely falling out.
