Arians and His Stupid Ego

[Stout]

Damn you, Arians, and your idiotic ego! YOU RUN THE EFFING BALL, YOU EFFING MORON! YOU RUN THE EFFING BALL! Without an extra 40 seconds, they don't get a chance to hail mary it at the end!

Win or lose, Arians and his ego cost us.

Did we just win out 14th game of the year?

we did and great playcall at the end but it only got to OT because they had the extra 40 seconds.

So, are you saying any moron can coach a team to 14 wins and a trip to the conference finals? And you can say for certain that the Packers still would have scored? What if a run resulted in a fumble and we were only up by 4? So many what ifs, but we won.

It was stupid but that is Arians. You have to take the bad if you want the good.

If that play works everyone says wow what a great play completely caught them off guard

By the way that PI you can't just push a WR out of bounds

 

[Absolute Zero]

Fire his ass!!!!!

Agreed on both

Not as of my post we hadn't. I'll reply to posts here, defending my post, but I'll remain 100 percent positive on the rest of the board. I will not in the least apologize for calling Arians to task right after an epic collapse.

There is a reason you play until the final whistle. That is my last word in this thread.

Giant balls. Dumb call in the 4th, but amazing call in OT.

Agreed.

It was ballsy but it wasn't a good idea just the same.

It nearly cost us the game but it didn't.

No I'm saying even the best coach in the NFL this year makes mistakes.

If anyone was surprised that Arians would do something like that, you haven't been watching him very closely. He takes risks. He goes for the dagger rather than laying up for the field goal. That's the way he does it.

I hear you it was still not a good idea just like Rodgers not spiking the ball was a bad idea.

In the future in that situation I would rather see him run the ball as that's more of a dagger than chancing a pass play that looked like it wouldn't even score in the first place.

It's more on Palmer for throwing the ball when it had no chance.

Exactly and BA is why this team is setting records across the board. It is his philosophy and the culture he is setting, you know the culture that has us winning 13 games this year and a winning season every year he has been here.

He's the luckiest man in America right now. That game should've been long over but it lead to an unbelievable ending so I don't regret it LOL.

 

[imaCafan]

His interview after the game he talks about not playing prevent and playing to win. I had enough prevent loses from the "old Cards".....

 

[football karma]

I love Arians -- but I didn't like calling the pass there -- and certainly not against Sam Shields.

Oh, I wasn't surprised. Heck, I was screaming for them to not throw on THIRD down lol

Anyway, it ended up in a W, so all is forgiven.

 

[fatosber]

Thank GOD for Arians. If it weren't for him we would have not been here. Team execution is what got us in tonights predicament. A win is a win and I want Seattle

I agree that that was an unnecessary risk.

I'll add: final play of regulation prior to the snap-- I say to my wife: man, the D sure has a bunch of guys near the LOS.

For a Hail Mary, there were shockingly few numbers of Card DBs in the endzone.
