Well, the 3 picks had something to do with it.

As much as you would want to think the QB did throw 3 picks and should have thrown 4 more.
Yep, for sure. And so was the last one.

I think not having Foote was a big deal.

Yes it was.
Yep, D crapped the bed today. Poor tackling and leaving guys wide open with blown coverages.
not. even. close.
lindley gave the d 17 points to work with and the d went down on themselves and swallowed.
3 picks. not one of them had much bearing on the game. one was a punt, for all intents and purposes. one had some field position involved and the last was just an end to the misery.
TWICE IN TWO WEEKS, THE OFFENSE SCORED AND THE D GIVES UP A 70+ YARD TD IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARD.
Yeah you should probably score more than 17 points and not throw 3 INTs
Expectations have become so unreal on this board. Defense held em to 20 points lets not act like they dropped 40 on us.
When your QB throws more INTs than TD you usually lose

One of the picks was essentially 3 points. I'm not disagreeing that the D could have won this game for us if they did play better, but so could our QB with better results on a few plays. Hard for any team to win with 3 picks.

2 of lindley a picks cusr us points, but the Defense was a bigger joke.
As poor as the D played at times, they only gave up 20 points. Pretty sure when you go on the road and throw 3 picks you lose. (really 6 picks)
John Brown dropped a sure first down.
So while the D has their share in the blame, I disagree that it is "Plain and Simple."

More than anything that just shows how much our linebacking corps needs to be upgraded.

...and it took all they had to beat a depleted defense and a third string QB at home. I get it (and I know everyone here is a true Cardinals fan) but I'm proud of these Cardinals. Go Big Red! Every playoff game is special to me. They've been so few. Yes, I'm drinking wine again.
stop with the last pick. it was during a last gasp and seriously, had no effect.

Love how everyone loves to place blame in one area, plain and simply. Since when is this game plain and simple??
one of lindley's picks was a great punt, and then the D let them roll up a ton of yards to score.
another one of lindley's picks led to a kneel down, and no points.
tell me again about lindley's picks costing us points.
effing D.
It was only like a punt cuz of a penalty n the one when we were in fg range in the 2nd
If your 4th string QB puts up 17 points and your D can't bring in the win, you don't deserve to be called a good d.
Lindley played well enough to win this game.. The D sucked balls..
The D never stopped anything even before the first INT. Not sure if their hearts weren't really in it knowing the likelyhood of them winning 1st seed was next to nothing.
Got to say, Lindley play better then I thought he would.

Pretty much this and especially against a 49ers offense that been pretty suspect for the most part this season.
