The Cardinal's Defense

[Crimson Warrior]

is like swiss cheese with a razor blade carefully hidden inside.

We can't just make a "big" play to save a game. We have to make a Really big play, or give up a touchdown. Like Rolle's pick against Eli. Or the TEN game.

To beat Brees and the aints, we have to get more creative on our blitzs. I saw Wilson and Hayes getting stuffed at the line multiple times today.

Speaking of which, what in the HELL has happened to Gerald Hayes?

 

[Russ Smith]

Rodgers is great and they have great WR's and a great TE.

I still say though with a different crew of refs this game is nowhere near that high scoring. Being a Cards fan I tend to focus on us but the number of uncalled offensive holds on BOTH teams in this game was mindboggling. The TD to Fitz they called roughing the passer on a guy who was being held by the Cards.

These QB's are too good, if you give them that much time they will kill you and not calling holds gives them that time. They finally called the one in OT.

But yeah the defense is scary right now they just picked apart McFadden and Adams.

I have been supporting McFadden all season but he was awful today. Adams was bad. Brown is mediocre as well. We really need at least one really good CB next year unless Toler develops into one quickly.

Watching the train wreck that was the Cardinal secondary today was gut wrenching. Gaping holes everywhere. Terrible corner play on short outs. Tackling was non existent. egad, I'm thankful we survived it but Holy Mackerel they were bad

 

[SuperSpck]

2 FF's
1 INT

1 defensive touchdown. They won the turnover battle.

Bottom line: Good enough today, probably not tomorrow.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Guys.... We were bad but Rodgers was throwing darts and beebee's all over the field. I can't remember a game where our guys were within a razors edge of tipping a pass.

DRC had two or three. McFadden had 2 others.

I will pay homage to Aaron Rodgers and his 7 headed receiving corps.

I think conditioning has something to do with it. They sure start out on fire but get tired easily. I don't know how many times we have been out to a big lead and the defense gets gassed at the end of the game and gives it all back.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Our D is driving me crazy. Giving up big plays, no stops on crucial 3rd down and no pass rush. Could of had many sacks today with a real DE or OLB that can bring the constant pressure.

 

[sportznutt]

Brees is just as deadly.

Relax everyone This is just part of Whiz' master plan. The Saints will be game planning from this one and we will spring our blanket coverage D on them!!
