Well If any team can pull that off. It's gotta be the Cardinals. It's a sad day in Cardinal land. Sad:(

When you're a big underdog, it's not unusual to lose a game in OT, even with the positive turnover ratio. We would have been slaughtered had we not had the turnovers.

Even though we got to overtime against the potential division Champions, this team is a long ways away from being competitive in this league. To have 5 take-aways and still lose, the play-calling was very questionable at times. I still hope the McGinnis is gone after this year. I love they guy but a head coach he is not.

I know you are venting, but this is easily a .500 ball club. The problem is lazy coaches that cannot pull any tricks out of their play book to convert most of the times when the Cards are in the Red Zone. They make the same poor Red Zone execution every week. This game would not have gone into overtime if the Cards had put more points on the board--and they certainly reached the Red Zone enough times to do that............

Go Cards, props to Boldin, Shipp, and the entire defense.

Plus 4 sacks to none. Sad :(

And 166 yards rushing along with two TD catches by the Q. Only our Cardinals.

Blake was almost sacked, but he decided to throw it to an opposing LB, who then promptly returned it for a TD. NICE THROW JEFF!!!

Winning percentage of teams plus three in turnovers is 94%. Amazing that we lost that game. But, both coordinators turtled up at the end of the game. Remember, we had the ball on the 38 after Rhinehardt's INT and we played it safe there as well.

I recall 2 drops on goalline. One on 4th down that Jones had his hands on and 1 by Boldin after which we settled for FG. The plays called had a chance of being successful. The players did not execute. Not sure I can blame the coaching staff for that. I liked the reverses which worked great for a change and the mixing of FD passing and running.

One play call I question was after 3 straight runs by Shipp on first drive of game gain 18 yards and we are 2nd and 2 near mid-field and decide to pass. Great idea, launch a bomb! No they try to throw it short, get it tipped at LOS and intercepted. Everything and everybody except Shipp was out of synch in first quarter.
