The Seachickens are 0-3 in the division. Does not bode well for them.

After watching the game I was left wondering one how in the heck are the Cardinals going to stop either running game and 2, how in the heck are they ever going to run against either defense?

Did the coaches watch how the 49ers successfully ran against the Seahawks by putting in a jumbo running attack with multiple TEs for blocking? Are they willing to do that when we play the Niners? They also threw out of those formations using the RB as a relief valve after they stayed in to help block.

Hate to say it however the way the Niners played offense is exactly what the Cardinals need to do on offense.

On defense they will almost need to play 9 in the box and leave the CBs on an island.

It is amazing the impact little decisions have in football games.

IMO the key play for Seattle losing this game came when Browner intercepted "MVP" Smith in the endzone. Instead of taking a knee and getting it at the 20, he tried to run and got tackled at the 3(after going backwards towards the endzone at one point). they run 3 plays and punt and SF uses the short field to drive for a FG and go up 7 points.

It COMPLETELY changed the game. Seattle at the 20 with 11 minutes left they can run their whole offense and they really only need about 60 yards to get into FG range. A FG still leaves them down 1, but with plenty of time to get the ball back at least once if not twice.

But because they're on the 3 they're afraid to do much with Wilson so they go 3 and out and punt and then SF chews up some clock.
