    Cards v. Panthers 2009/Broncos v. Seahawks 2014

    I don't know about anyone else, but as this SB game started, I couldn't help but draw parallels with our playoff game against the Panthers. I'm not sure I should blame John Fox, but in both games, he was completely outcoached. Both times his players looked shellshocked and could not recover...

    Call Me A Contrarian

    I thought that game was a step forward for Kolb and the team. Kolb (particularly in the first half) threw the ball with significantly more zip, was more decisive, and improved his footwork (don't get me wrong, there is still much, much more work to be done). The pass protection this game was...

    Three Throws That Gave Me Hope

    After watching Leinart excel at checkdowns and short routes but loft intermediate throws that get receivers killed (see pre-season game), and after watching DA do just the opposite, Hall was just what we needed. 1. The deep out was perfectly timed to Fitz. 2. The slant perfectly...

    Franchise Tag

    It's so interesting how the players' response to this has changed. A few years ago, the players absolutely despised it, and only accepted it as a last resort after holding out, etc. I don't mean to jinx anyone or anything, but it's a huge risk to give up what is likely tens of millions of...

    Warner -- Bernie Williams Analogy

    I'm from the East Coast, and I have a theory. During the NY Yankees playoff run, Bernie Williams became a free agent and the Red Sox threw a lot of money at him. He was basically ready to sign the deal, but he called George Steinbrenner right before and took just a little less from the Yankees...

    The Locker Room/The Press/The QB Controversy

    I live on the East Coast, so I'm throwing this one out to you locals. One thing that disappoints me about the local Cards coverage is the lack of information from the players -- even if the sources are anonymous -- about which QB they prefer. No matter what everyone says on the record -- not...

    FWIW -- PFT Suggests Trading Warner to the Bears

    Though the Cards aren't shopping Warner, they might be waiting for someone to give them a call. The in-game rotation with Matt Leinart was creating a problem in the locker room, and it took a season-ending injury to the 2004 Heisman winner to help Ken Whisenhunt out of a situation...

    We Need A Smarter Offense

    I'm with those that say we need to use the no-huddle much earlier and more often. It works, but it has limitations. It works best with defenses that use multiple blitz packages and other schemes requiring constant communication with the defensive coordinator (i.e., the Ravens). It did not...
