Except for his pick in the end zone tonight, he's the reason we won!!! IMO he's the MVP of this league right now

He just torched the Legion of Boom & should've had more and another 80 yarder to Floyd.

Correct, we have reached the point where the talent and coaching is able to overcome things that cripple most teams.

Granted, those two fumbles are credited to him, the fact that he blew BOTH of them off just solidifies his heart. Two drives in a row ended with his fumbles............but that ENTIRE offensive line brushed them off and stood strong to end that game.

That in and of itself makes me proud. IMO, any other team in the past decade would have folded under the pressure.....but this team showed their nuts to seattle and rose above the occasion.

I'm loving the win, but for me he had a very Jekyll and Hyde game. When your offensive line is leaking like that, you have to protect the football, and he didn't get blindsided on those two hits. NO excuse for not protecting the ball instead of fumbling it away twice in quick succession. The goal line pick was clearly awful. Plus, there's the miracle catch for a first down on our last TD drive that should have been picked. On the other hand, he was slinging it like a boss in the first half, and was nails for the rest of the winning TD drive. Bottom line, he would have come in for some healthy criticism had we lost; he skates because we won :)

Stout,

He admitted everything you said in the post game interview. Took full responsibility for the INT and Fumbles. Said he has to do a better job of protecting the ball.

There is no way I'd put those two fumbles last night on Carson...

They were free runners but he also didn't protect the ball on either play.

But he was so good last night that you forgive that. The INT was bad but he had another TD to Floyd that got dropped and made one clutch throw after another, often stepping up to make the play.

On the road in Seattle, not good weather, loud crowd so he frequently couldn't check to other plays etc. remarkable effort by Carson.

Palmer was nails when it counted. Mr Fitzgerald was not too shabby either.

But even that shows Palmer's great strength. He makes two huge mistakes and just keeps his focus. He doesn't wallow in it. He doesn't overcompensate for it. He just goes out and continues to play and wins the game.

Good QB's and CB's have to be able to do that.

I don't really care about the ball I care more about Palmer. I would not want him to play scared and personally given his level of maturity I'd drop all this protect the ball crap and go with go get them as best you can.

He knows what chances to take and you know what? They won't all work out.

It' easy to armchair this but how many QB's could face that noise, that rush, lose a key Olinemen, get stripped of the ball TWICE, lose the lead, then take a historically sad sack franchise and drive the ball down the teeth of a STOUT assed defense "pun intened :)"

I just have nothing but respect for the guy after last night that was AMAZING!

I just think people over think this stuff he was in live combat and did what not one in one to ten million people could do strictly in terms of being a QB.

When I think of the troubles I have just in regular life that mess me up seeing someone do what he did well it just re-affirms why we think of sports figures as hero's because in a limited sense they are.

I agree totally. Everytime Palmer is sacked I cringe. But it takes a man to realize after a great game he can do better. Always striving for perfection.

Every NFL QB that played yesterday made mistakes , not every play is going to go the QB's way . When you get one that can overcome his mistakes and win the game (PALMER) you have something special !!!

On the 2nd strip, can't really blame Palmer on it because he was trying to bring it in and the defenders arm happened to be coming down at the same time and hit the ball. It was just a play that the defender happened to be swinging his arm down right on the ball coming up. Can't recall who it was that went untouched on that sack.

Agreed. He knows it, but he was able to do that great 'suck it' move to the Seahag fans because he overcame it. Like I said, he wasn't a goat because he did overcome it and pulled out the W.

Seattle is a tough place to play and weird stuff happens against that defense of theirs but removed from saluting both franchises with those David Krieg fumbles... I think he is allowed not only to skate but attempt some of those tricky Russian skating routines with the way he made the vaunted Seattle secondary look for a majority of the night lol
