100 yard interception return and a 104 kickoff return. 14 points for free. Worse yet, 14 ridiculous points for free. Otherwise they only score 16 points. Even the Patriots can't come back from doing that.

The pick 6 was a 14 point swing, itself. Cards win going away, without those 2 plays.

Sometimes it's okay to settle for a FG. But we continue to press the issue to a point of stupid sometimes.

Plain and simple Arians needs to give up the play calling and let some one else do it. Hi splay calling has put the Cardinals is such bad positions that it isn't even funny anymore. I think he out thinks himself to stupidity. Maybe he thinks he is so cleaver that he has brain farts.

That int for the TD was not Palmer's fault or Brown's fault. It was a timing route with the ball thrown to a spot and Brown was held but what is Arians doing calling such a play when he has DJ and more than a enough WRs to run quick slant routes... and we even have TEs when we remember as seen by Graham and Fells :)

Yeah but it's still a Carson issue. You have to atleast read those plays and make sure it's there. Carson just throws it man... I've seen it time and time again. He just chucks it and then gets on guys, You weren't exactly where you were supposed to be!

Yeah well Carson, it's football and not everything goes to plan. That's what's driving me nuts about CP this year. He's either super hesitant or he's just throwing it up there without a second glance... It just looks like what happened at the end of last year struck the final blow to his confidence because he's just not the same guy as last year.

Yea when Carson threw it there were 2 guys there....you can't assume JB was going to be there. In fact they knew it was coming so he telegraphed the throw....when he looked over there and saw 2 defenders. He should have checked down....that's why I don't like BA and his offense....he needs a RB always to help chip a defender and then peel.off as a safety valve....DJ is a great safety valve because he usually just needs to break one tackle in that situation.... teams know we don't do this and play man zone against us with usually double teams in all the gaps....if you notice WRs always have 2 players around them. So a perfect throw is necessary. One bad throw and a tip or something and it gets picked off.....his offense needs less Wrs and more RBs ....we haven't had a bomb this year. In fsct think about it but i don't think we have had a deep pass for a td where they catch it and run for a td. Everyone is double.covered....Fitz in fsct had to make an amazing catch almost Everytime because teams have figured out our offense....watch film on it someone but I bet it's done cover 2 or 3 where man covers wr and then help comes over at the point of the pass.

I'm almost positive Palmer didn't even see Rhodes. I think he saw Brown locked up with the defender and figured he'd break out like he was supposed to, get a flag, or at worst the ball would be incomplete.

Meanwhile DJ is over standing on the sideline... Stupid football all-around.

On this particular play it appeared to me that the Cardinals had 2 players flanked out wide on the right side and whoever was the inside WR ended up wit a 1 on 1 situation and got inside position on the defender. Palmer never even looked that way. A decent throw would have been a fairly easy TD.

Larry Fitzgeral... possibly the best "Out Body the Defender" WR in history and definitely top 10 in catching the fade.

David Johnson... may be the best overall RB in the entire league right now.

but we draw up a play for a quick midget who body catches......ummmm........okay
