Sitting through this game is like obligation, not enjoyment.

If we don't beat the Bears or Bengals, we're staring at 0-16. The sooner everyone just accepts the fact that our defense simply can't stop anyone at all, the easier the rest of this season will be to handle.

Ed:

At this point, the Seahawks have scored 14 points off 6 yards of offense. The defense has given up one TD, on a 55-yard pass, but not much else.

The problem this week, as it was in Detroit, has been turnovers. Most of the time, when you turn the ball over four times in the first half, you lose.

Sorry Wild but I don't buy it. The only reason those stats exsist is because we've given them the points and our D wasn't on the field but in the last two drives Seattle went right down the field and scored 10 points. There is no ray of hope that I can see. They are dreadful right now and there's no other way to describe what I'm watching. Seems like there was no pre-season. The crowd is non-exsistent and what's there is lifeless. The players show no emotion, the coaching staff seems over matched, and the mistakes are coming from the veteran players. This whole team will quit on Mac before week 6. Everything that was said about Detroit last week to put a positive spin on that loss was false. Detroit was blown out today by our next opponent. For the first time in 40 years I don't think I even want to see the game, I imagine it'll be that bad. Bidwill needs to back up the truck as this organization needs a house-cleaning and since the owners not going anywhere there's no other solution.

NO ED!

It has been the same problem for the game and a half so far this season. The Defense is not the problem.

TURNOVERS!!!!!!

-7 in that catagory.

If you can't see that you are an idiot.

I have been hearing people defending the Cards' D because the offense has put them in bad situations. This is true.

But, IMO, they would give up points no matter how far the opponents had to drive.

The Cards don't seem to have a single D Lineman who can beat the man in front of them.

The offense is error prone, but IMHO, has some skill players with longterm potential.

You sound like a nobel Laureate.

Yeah, the turnovers are the problem today. But if we stop turning it over, we still can't stop anyone, so it doesn't matter.

If you can't see that......wait, you're an idiot regardless.

Now I remember why I don't waste time posting here anymore.

Hey Renz. Welcome to the only fan board in existence where people will defend a team down 24-0 at the half.

Yeah, that defense of ours.....pretty awesome.

Maybe part of our -7 rating is that we have 0 turnovers. Anyone ever consider that?

It is brutal. At some point turnovers are no longer excuses. Bad teams make turnovers. We are horrible. May as well give McCown the starting QB and see what he is made of.

You know Ed that is a good point we do need our defense to get some turnovers.

I am not saying our defense is good but to blame it all on the defense is just stupid.

Sorry I was right about everything and you're just a subliterate racist.

I'll leave so you can go back to la-la land again.

this was a very bad team to start the season. all the writers knew it and unless you are just blind to what is on paper we all knew it. i suspected we would end up with a backup qb at some point just not this early. what we wil find out is McCown is not an NFL QB and we are no closer to having an NFL QB than we were years ago. we still have Bidwill in charge and we are still 12-13 mil under cap and he accepts it. if we are not the worst team in the nfl i will be supprised. if you want to be positve about this team and it makes you feel good then by all means do it. this is the worst team in the last decade as I judge it. Graves haunting words still ring in my ears: "wait until June before you judge the team". Ever who is responsibe for assembling this team should be fired unless Bidwill is himself responsible by closing the purse strings. Fans should just stop going to the games. What good is a new stadium. Does anyone really think Bidwill will change?

I guess on the bright side Graves never put a year on that quote. I wonder what year he was talking about because it is not this year.
