I don't know what to make of the situation, but...

[RugbyMuffin]

I am going to support this team throughout.

When your two starting QB's go down, star WR, star LB, starting LT, backup LT, starting OLB go down then there is not much to stay.

Maybe player and coaches can't blame injuries but right now our team is banged up to say the least, and depth is not our strong point. We all pretty much agreed on the lack of depth on this team.

Boldin and Dansby are HUGE parts to offense and defense, those two injuries PLUS our QB situation makes the chances of the Cardinals winning in this situation slim to none.

Not to say the team can't win but it puts the odds massively against them.

As a fan, THIS SUUUCKS! Our QBOF is getting no better sitting on the bench, or back plan at QB failed, and on top of that the two best, and entertaining players are off the field.

On top of this Bryant Johnson, Alan Branch, and Elton Brown are all dinged as well.

It is just not a good situation, so I really can't slam the team or organization, and harping on past decision from the offseason isn't gonna change the here and now.

In the past our team just sucked regardless of who was in. Now it is more of the fact that our team was turning the corner and was in the "IF THEY STAY HEALTHY THEY WILL WIN" category. Unfortunately we are not healthy and are on the hopes that our sub-par backups can carry us until the team gets better.

I for one will try to keep in mind the state of the team health wise when I stop by ASFN and while watching the next few games. These men have my 100% support win or lose.

Since when does conditioning prevent broken collarbones?

It caught Williams from behind on a dead sprint to the end zone.

I think it is working out fine.

...and .

It's also allowing our linemen to pull on runing plays and get to the hole before the running back.

Pretty damn good. Or do you think it should have prevented Warner from getting his elbow hurt when it was bent backwards underneath a 250 pound man?

Lott's making them stronger, not making them into rubber people.

I also will support the team, been doing so for over 30 years so why quit now?

Going into this season I thought it would be another 5 or 6 wins again. So, they are halfway to my expectations before the midpoint of the season. I can't be disappointed in that

I think that this team is playing hard to the end of games more than any in recent history. They kind of gave up toward the end yesterday but I don't hold that against them.

Rattay played OK for the most part and better than someone with mere days with the team. He was "outdueled" by a dude with over 20 years experience, no shame in that considering the situation. Would Vinnie have been a better signing than Rattay, sure, but VINNIE didn't want to come here. I'm not going to cry over "What if's?", that is just fruitless.

As you said, add up all the injuries (and yes, I know, EVERY team has them) on a team with very shallow depth on the bench and I think 3-3 is a pretty good record all things considered. Plus, they were 2 plays away from being 5-0 going in. I'll take that over the pathetic and clueless way they played the last 2 years.

Just my perspective.

Well, why the hell not? Geez...he's probably being paid a boatload of cash...I want rubber people, dammit!

Was AW "SICK" on that run down... I was absolutley blown away with his speed and his effort...THAT is a TEAM PLAYER.... He deserves to wear the C on his jersey!

OH LB, You and your fantasies about rubber men !

No doubt.

But I will be more.....patient than I usually am. Especially when it comes to Rattay.

They're far lower maintenance, that's for sure!

Good post Rugby. Everyone should be able to blow off steam if they need to. My buddy that I have tickets with was going off on a rant about how he was going to go back to being a Cowboys fan while we were walking out of the stadium. By the time we got to our car he was a hardcore Cards fan again.

Go Cards!!!!

We are all gonna have to blow off some steam naturally. I am not saying I am not frustrated, cause I am. But more at the situation then at the team.

The problem with injuries are that they lead to more.

Oliver Ross -> Levi Brown -> Elton Brown -> Matt Leinart -> Kurt Warner

That is how it breaks down to me.

ASFN is gonna be a huge therapy session for a few weeks and that is expected. Guys and gals will react how ever they want and that is cool.

For me I am just gonna say that anything good that happens is a bonus, and the bad should be expected.

At least after the bye we might have half the guys that are hurt back.

When you think about the situation "What are you gonna do ?"

I brought clients from San Diego to watch that game - their first ever NFL game live (they're from Oz). Other than the end and outcome - a great game (I try to make several every year). They loved the stadium and we had a blast sitting in East Preferred and drinking beer (no eating - just drinking)! Even got them to represent by getting them to buy jerseys.

What am I going to do? I'm going to support this team - regardless if they go 13-3 or 3-13. I'll still make games when I can, and when I can't, I watch Sunday Ticket.

We're Cards fans, dammit - we don't give up.
