I've given this team and coaching especially a LOT of hell over the past few weeks. I've been absolutely disgusted by what I've seen out there. However, they've been playing some pretty good teams...they just sucked balls and lost the games. But they have been competitive (and personally, I feel coaching has been the deep reason they are losing). The talent is not deep and lacking, but yet they remain up and playing hard.
2003 Cards would have packed it in and lost 49-10 to the Ravens last week. I have NO doubt about that. Duckjake thinks this might turn into the worst team on record for the cards...maybe by record, but not by heart. That 2003 heart murmur team was the most sissy, pack it in squad I've ever watched play. This team plays a little bit pissed off, but not enough.
They are going to beat the Rams. I give a crap what the rams did last week. The Cards will beat the Rams on Sunday. They will then lose to Philly the following week, and then roll off 5 straight wins. Yes...5. they will be 7-7, with two games left to play. One at home. One on the road.
This is what I see happening. Is it the return of D-Doggstradomous? Or is it the last kick of Koolaid exiting my system before it all turns black? Because if we lose...oh boy.
In our favor: Obrien and Acho will get more playing time. PP is coming into his own in understanding the speed of the NFL. They WILL switch up the line, which can't hurt. Our schedule is home heavy. We played tough against the Steelers and the Ravens...and for one half, it looked like our Defense was who they thought they were.
And the biggest - this team ONLY plays well when they are desperate...playcalling is HORRID when we are up or close. When we are down, they are desperate and start going wild. Wild works for this team. GO WILD.
I'm not saying if we'll end up 7-9 or 9-7. I'm only saying that we'll be at the 7 win level this year. Yes, I'm saying this at 1-6.
(red koolaid drips from my lips..*cough* *sputter*) Go Cards.
