Gameday thread Rams at Cardinals 10-4-15

[Chopper0080]

But he did throw it, three times, with 2 yards to make. In a game that CJ looked good. Too stubborn there. Plain and simple.

I like throwing against that secondary for two yards better than running against that front.

 

[NJCardFan]

Arians sure looked terrible fumbling the opening return.

He sure looked terrible on that Fitz fumble.

He sure looked terrible on those two airmail jobs in the 4th quarter.

Why did you come back?

Horrible play calling in the end didn't help. I just don't think he's the 2nd coming of Vince Lombardi like most here do. Is he a good coach? Yes but he tends to call some head scratching plays. All we needed was a FG at the end. 2nd and 2 inside their 40 and he throws 3 times. The first I'll give him as a bubble screen isn't a horrible call but passing twice deep after that was just stupid.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Did we have any injuries this game?

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Maybe this will send a message to the team that they aren't as good as they think they are so they better put in more work and not take teams lightly

 

[PJ1]

Silver lining......

The Rams had to severely outplay us in order to eek out a win. Time to get back to the drawing board and eliminate the terrible plays we had today.

They hardly outplayed us. We gave this one away.

 

[playstation]

any injuries? to leave this game with no injuries would be a huge positive.

 

[Shaggy]

Another Silver lining is that they came out with 0 injuries! Only think hurt was their pride.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Did we have any injuries this game?

Just our pride.

 

[sunsfan88]

That kid Gurley is a beast. Easy to see why he was drafted top 10 despite the acl injury now.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

They hardly outplayed us. We gave this one away.

They clearly outplayed us where it really matters and that is inside the red zone.

 

[NMCard]

It would be foolish to blame the refs for a loss. But I think we all can agree that the Rams got a little help with some of the officiating of this game.

 

[nashman]

Wow there were a lot, A LOT of non calls today, unreal with some late hits out of bounds got screwed on the fumbles also, we got beat by the Rams with a healthy assist from the Zebras!

 

[sunsfan88]

They are with a healthy Todd Gurley.

They couldn't score even 7 pts last week and they lost to the Vick-led Steelers. That was with Gurley.

 

[Cheesebeef]

They hardly outplayed us. We gave this one away.

You can't give away a game that you trailed for 58 minutes and got dominated in the red zone.

They beat us, made the big plays they needed to, won the turnover battle AND did all of the above on the road. They won the game, period.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Gurley is not that good. We made him look good with poor tackling

Remember there are other options, CP decided to go deep because he was open. He just flat out missed him.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Exactly great play calls two times Palmer had guys wide open and he just didn't hit them. It happens it sucks but it happens.

The play calling wasn't the problem just two bad throws at the worst time

The play calling sucked bc that needs to be higher percentage plays.

Yep. We had our chances and couldn't get it done

Our mistakes beat us more than the Rams and we still almost pulled it out.

 

[moosehead]

So were we exposed and it was confirmed that we merely succeeded against bad teams up until now? Or did we just have a bad game?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Had 3 play to make 2 yards. Have to run for the first and then go for the field position for the FG

Exactly. Outsmarted himself. No need to go for knockout punch in a game in which you're positioned to steal one. Too cute. Trying too hard to be smarter than everyone else. Sometimes convention is the right call.

 

[Shaggy]

Didn't the turns over amount to all of their points basically?

1st turnover by Johnson - TD
2nd turnover by Palmer - FG
3rd turnover by Fitz - FG

So 17 points of turnovers...

 

[GatorAZ]

They couldn't score even 7 pts last week and they lost to the Vick-led Steelers. That was with Gurley.

Let's judge a guy off his first game in a year coming off major knee injury where he got 6 carries.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I like throwing against that secondary for two yards better than running against that front.

Then you like the lower percentage play. What can I tell you. Three plays to make 2 yards. One attempt at a run would have made sense.

 

[PJ1]

Didn't the turns over amount to all of their points basically?

1st turnover by Johnson - TD
2nd turnover by Palmer - FG
3rd turnover by Fitz - FG

So 17 points of turnovers...

Yup. And we probably win if Palmer's pass to Jaron Brown was a few inches lower.
