Okay, Calm Down

if the cardinals block and tackle then the cardinals are going to win. if the cardinals have block and tackle like they did sunday they are going to loose. seattle is just to good of team to play 2 bad games in a row.

A couple of points responding to various points stated...

1st-On Deion Branch-I will be surprised if we see him on Sunday.

If I was the coach for the Seahawks, I would give Deion, one play to remember on Sunday: "Each time we snap the ball, you run as fast as you can down field and we will get the ball to you." Then stand back and get out of his way.

The Seahawks were awarded a two-week roster exemption for him today. If they activate him, they have to cut someone. My guess is it's 50/50, at best, that he plays this week.

The defense gave up 20 pts, you have to forgive them for when Warner gives them the ball at the 5 yard line.

Warner needs to stop putting the ball on the ground. He needs to dump it or eat it , but geez stop letting it hang out there. Protect the rock!

Why is it a certainty that the Seahawks will play better after a bad effort on Sunday but our team will get worse after a bad effort? Yeah I know the Seahawks were the NFC champions last year but that has ZERO carryover effect for this year.

Exactly, they're a good team and all but too many are prostrating themselves to the supposed better team. Let's play the game fellas. There's plenty both teams can improve. It gets down to tackling, turnovers and obviously execution. Game on.

Well... what would you prefer? Giving up 27 points in a win or 27 points in a shutout loss like Tampa Bay? Scoring 34 points with the "most pathetic O-line in the history of the NFL" or 0, like Tampa Bay?

There are a lot of examples of D's and O's performing poorly in this first week of this season.

I'll take the win, and hope that coaches and players can apply the lessons on both sides of the ball.

It is the same rule book that people use to give Denny pass after pass after pass when he and his staff continuously get outcoached...like I think they did on Sunday.

I would have felt much better had I not seen alot of the same issues that were prevalent the past 2 seasons but I have seen little actually fixed as it pertains to gameday. Talentwise, I think this team is light years ahead of where it was a few years ago but I am still waiting for The Genius and his staff to "coach up" this team...but I am beginning to think their ability to "coach up" is akin to the mythical unicorn

Good post ...

Denny needs to get this team mentally and emotionally prepared for this game .. when will he put it all together and coach a solid game from start to finish .. ??

generalization.....many of the top tier coaches literally "banish" guys who make stupid mistakes...they will not tolerate them...good to see dg put macklin on the bench.

Then others should also be on a short leash...

...like Dockett, Griffith, Step and Liewenski...Dockett is more talk than production, Griffith always hits with his shoulders and never wraps up, Step is consistently looking for a block rather than executing one and Gorin should have stayed at RT all along...DG's cronies are not ALWAYS better.

Deion Branch hasn't played football in months. Remember he sat out all of the preseason. I highly doubt we will see him on Sunday. If we do it won't be more than a few plays.

Watched the short version replay last night:

Kendrick Clancy didn't impress me at all.

Big Davis on the other hand just dominated the 49ers defenders. There were several plays where they didn't even bother trying to get by him.

Saw him block two guys on one pass play.

Very impressed with his game.

Or that we ignore the problems that this weeks opponent had this past week?

Why is it a certainty that the Seahawks will play better after a bad effort on Sunday but our team will get worse after a bad effort? Yeah I know the Seahawks were the NFC champions last year but that has ZERO carryover effect for this year.

Its like people think we have maxed out already.

If thats the case, why even play the game?

We had our problems like many teams last week but we have just as good of a chance as anybody to fix those problems. That doesn't mean we will and that we aren't going to be destroyed on the road but to ignore their problems and also only focusing on the bad points of our game won't give an accurate picture of whats going to happen. Who's to say that both teams didn't just play to the level of their opponent?

Only when they play will we know for sure is to wait for Sunday and actually see what happens.

I agree with you 100%. The team won; Warner's NFC Offensive Player of the week. Seattle feels the need to pay a premium for a number 3 receiver -- who won't play Sunday.

We've got a good shot beating this team. At the least it'll be a good game.

If the Cardinals eliminate 75% of their penalties they have a very good shot of making it a game. They cannot afford the defense to give the Seahawks 3 first downs off 'Unsportsman like conduct'!!

Symbolizes...

Frustration at not being productive and lack of discipline...I think you can credit 10 of SF's points to stupid crap like this...it is a joke!

Actually, he's more like a turtle...always on his back with his legs up in the air.
