Official Cards/Bills Game Thread

[Russ Smith]

Okay, so why is it, with his huge leg AND the wind at his back, Rackers could only kick it to the friggin' TEN???

Pasch said he thought we tried to loft the kick to use the wind but mishit it. sort of like my attempt at hitting a golf ball yesterday before I got sick.

if we have the wind, why in the hell are we running on 3rd and 4 with 5 men on the LOS per Lewis?

 

[Pariah]

ST has always been hot and cold this season. That was a great punt and cover.

 

[az1965]

What the hell is with that play calling running the ball 3 down and 4 to go???

 

[Osbern61]

Ok we have them pinned back at the one, barring a change of heart by the refs during the break.

 

[azdad1978]

It looks like the Bills player touch the ball and let it run back, that means its our ball!!! throw the flag DG!!!

 

[Jttsaz]

I think it was 3-2 and he lost 2 yards
but yes..it looks like the Cards are playing Run all the way!

There is somneting not right about how we downed that ball.

 

[Pariah]

DG thinks the bills touched it.

 

[English on tour]

has green challanged?

 

[Joe Mama]

It would seem that these referees are only looking for holding by one team today. That hold on Rinaldo Hill could not have been more blatant. I'm wondering if they are using the same college crew that called again last night in Berkeley.

Is this field position after the punt something that can be actually challenged? Why in the world did Dennis Green challenged this?

Sorry all but McCown certainly isnt doing anything. But do any of you really think he has been given a chance?

That O-line pass protection has been the worst I have seen it all year! He has absolutely no time.

stout on that play he spinned into the rush because thats where fricken Step pushed the defender. He sucks azz today!

He SAW the rush, because he stepped away from it to the right. When he saw nothing there, instead of THROWING it away, or going to ground and taking the minimal loss, he spun to where he KNEW THERE WAS A HUGE RUSH!!! Idiotic, shameful, and stupid. No excuse for it, and trying to excuse it is foolhardy.

I'm not saying he had any time, or that he should have completed a pass. Just use his head, NOT make a stupid play, and be done. Apparently, he can't manage that.

 

[azdad1978]

He touched it!!! damn these refs blows!!!

 

[azdad1978]

Yup these refs sucks

 

[Stout]

He touched it!!! damn these refs blows!!!

Couldn't see it on the replay. No evidence of it. They made the right call.

 

[az1965]

This is absolutely horrible officiating!!

 

[Twist18]

This ref crew sucks balls. He cant even get the yards right 4th and 4.

 

[Russ Smith]

Couldn't see it on the replay. No evidence of it. They made the right call.

pasch and lewis were convinced he touched it and the ball changed directions proving it?

Get a tad emotional there dont ya stout? You are to closed minded on him to even talk about it!

What cant be excused is the idiotic play of the O-line on pass plays. Its downrigth shameful to this point in the game. They cant pick up a blitz to save their lives.

You're absolutely right. It's disgusting. We need a QB that can step up and win this game.

As to your first statement, if I saw ANYTHING that proved otherwise, I wouldn't get on McCown's case. I see a QB that's not getting a ton of time who is completely buckling and playing like caca.

 

[Stout]

pasch and lewis were convinced he touched it and the ball changed directions proving it?

Well, it didn' look like it on the replays. You could see no direction change at all.

 

[Stout]

All right, a little better by McCown. Threw behind Boldin on that slant, but good throw to Johnson.

 

[Joe Mama]

Boy, Macklin blew a golden opportunity there. That should have been an interception.

Regarding the replay on the punt, the ball may or may not have touched the Buffalo Bills player's hand. There certainly was no occlusive evidence of it though.

McCown better be careful because these defensive backs will start anticipating these short passes.

Oline sucks!!!

 

[Jttsaz]

seriously...how many opportuntities have the Cards not taken advantage of? Dropped INt's, missed fumble recoveries, blown special teams? That and our o-line is getting pushed around especially up the middle...

And, yet, I truly beleive we're still very much in this. The Defense seems to have found it's legs, and if we can continue to run around the corners, we'll be okay.
