Todays 5 game balls

[Buckybird]

A question. On Brees' 50 yd. TD pass, a Cardinal defender came close to sacking him (and should have). Who was it?

Rhodes blew the sack

DASH is awesome.

Frack the "Hyphen" moniker. If you want to talk about him having a hyphen in his name, call him DASH!!!

Dash...fast...quick...

Hyphen means...well...he has a hyphen in his name.

DASH. Fast. Quick. Kicks your ass.

I LOVE me some Dash.

Pass it along.

This!

"Hyphen" is too close to "*****".

Dash is much better.

Nobody was creaming at DRC to just get the F down on the ground following his pick?

That would have been me. That play encompasses DRC,and the type of player that he is right now. I really wish he had more Aeneas Williams in him.

 

[jmt]

Yep, imagine how good he'd be if he could make plays like Rolle used to!

Warner did mention that.

I was. I guess I wasn't loud enough, because he didn't.

I really like the kid, and I'm really glad he didn't fumble. He would've been crucified for it. It was a bonehead play, no doubt about it.

Ditto... wasn't sure who he was pointing at on his way into the end zone.... but, just another punk move on the part of our big punk, DRC...

It's part of the NFL culture now...everybody wants to be a star. It's not isolated to sports, it's now in the social fabric.

I don't hate DRC for it, but I just don't identify with it and it is the attitude that the Cardinals are trying to get away from. It was not a good football decision to try and run it in for a touchdown. Nothing good comes from returning that for a touchdown. We still would have won, and we just took more of a risk. It showed immaturity and selfishness which is painfully apparent when viewing DRC. He is a really talented kid, and I guess I'm just expecting more from him.

I just hate either the me first attitude that it showed, or the complete lack of football awareness and knowledge. I really wish Dockett or Adrian Wilson would have tackled his ass rather than leading the convoy.

(Maybe it is a confidence booster that the defense needed to complete the afternoon. Just frustrating.)

I don't have a problem with DRC running it in. It counts as a pick 6 for him and we all know when it comes time to get paid, they are (at least partially) judged by their stats.

Ditto, he is a young kid and he is a playmaker. The team itself is trying to find an identity as Whiz said in his presser. I think even if it is ill advised to try and run the rock in there, he has to and sets a tone that says GO BIG OR GO HOME. We as fans would like him to lay down but teammates say take it to the house. I have no problem with them trying to find that kind of identity. It was not a punk move....get real. He made a great play.

I don't like the word punk, I just don't have a better one for some of DRC's actions.

Agree, especially with the " guess I'm just expecting more from him.

I don't have a problem with DRC running it in. It counts as a pick 6 for him and we all know when it comes time to get paid, they are (at least partially) judged by their stats.

I don't like the attitude of making a boneheaded play just for a contract. I don't know how much if any extra money he will earn for the pick 6 over just a pick.

DRC did state that he "wasn't taking no knee" because he wanted payback for how the Saints ran the score up in the Division playoff game against us.

Another positive for Lenon was that he threw the block that kept the Saint who was in position to strip the ball from DRC since he was carrying it like a loaf of stinky bread.

+1

As for the bolded part, maybe it's because he is from generation M (me), I don't identify with it either. Not that the way I think is any better, I just don't see their way as clearly. My parents didn't really see it when I went to Frisco in the 60's.

On one thread we have people bashing DRC for not being conservative in the final two minutes and on another thread we have people defending Whisenhunt for not being conservative in the final two minutes.

Maybe the S in ASFN stands for Schizophrenic.

You're sooooo right & I blame that on the Jekyll & Hyde Redbirds

What a perfect description of the Cards and this years football team especially.

And far more upset about a fumble that didn't happen with DRC than one that did with Patrick. Nobody touched DRC on his way to a TD.

Well I will shore this up in regards to my posts. Not running the ball was a dumb call by Whis, in my opinion. I don't understand how you justify that call, but maybe I am not supposed to.
