If these guys are tired of hearing the “Same old Cards” chant; they should show up on the road and change it. Once again the team couldn’t run & couldn’t stop the run. The coaching looked very inexperienced. The Cards will win the West by default, but they are not a lot better than last year. Discipline and the basics, like tackling, continue to be a problem. As for Mr. Graves, Levi Brown still looks like a third round pick and not a very good one.

I agree Harry. The second sack by Johnson, Brown basically ole'ed him by.
I know Gandy had the holding penalty but I thought he did a great job on Peppers for the majority of the day.
Whatever this game was handed to them with some ridiculous calls, like the TD that wasn't! Thats the game right there. When the officials constantly take the momentum away from you with crap like that its hard for the team to overcome them and the other team.
Rolle is officially a bust. He needs to be cut.
Tackling has been the problem forever and was the main reason we lost today.
Play calling was completely one dimensional.
Special teams was very poor today (slow motion pass on fake field goal, botched extra point, nothing on returns, gave up 30+ return).
Bit by the zebras again on the Smith 65 yard TD... he was definitely out of bounds.
-1 on turnovers with both TO's resulting in 10 points.
It's bs that we have to always always deal with some bogus call, I mean sure you get bad calls now and again but we always get the short end of that stick that TD was pure BS.
Whiz did screw up not kicking the field goal, otherwise the game turned on a dime and went south, if you want to say that's coaching, fine it's your opinion.

Agree on Rolle and have been saying it for weeks. I really don't know if he is better than Holt and that is pretty bad. Is Keyes still on the practice squad? We need to do something.
Exactly how did John Fox outcoach us today? What was his brilliant gameplan that had them down 17-3 in the third quarter?
Was it how he made our guys stop tackling in the third quarter? The Edge fumble? The tip drill interception?
On Steve Smith's second TD he ran through two guys. Whether or not he was out of bounds doesn't really matter, he basically got through two guys who were in a position to stop him and I am not sure what John Fox's role was in that play either.
We have got to build an identity of running the ball and stopping the run. We had their runningbacks bottled up in the first half. After the start of the third was a completely different story.
Other than the fake field goal try, I wonder what else you think Whiz could have done to change the outcome of this game.
sure is funny how people question the coaches when we lose. Coaching had no effect on this loss. Tackling (expecting someone else to make the play) did.
I'm fine with demoting him come the off-season, but I don't see any LaRon Landrys behind him on the depth chart.
And, as for the topic of the thread, we may well have been outcoached as far as player-preparation goes, but I don't think we were out schemed. The players need to make the plays that they've been put in position to make. Is that coaching? Yes, but there's also only so much a coach can do.

If you are talking about Clancy, I agree. Otherwise, No.
Defense lost this game.
No guy's it was the Officating that lost us this game. When you see white painted dirt rise as some one steps out of bounds and is rewared with a TD then I call it OFFICATING...!!!
