If the cardinals come ready to play they should have no issue with the steelers next week.

If these losses can get the Chargers to finally fire this atrocious coaching staff and also their training staff then I'm fine with it.

What a pathetic game all around. Brandon Flowers has to be the worst CB in football my goodness.

I barely caught a glimpse of it.... Was that hit by the Charger defender on the receiver worthy of that penalty?



Edit to add: I'm sick of Gruden

They hit the jackpot on that pick. Hard to believe he went 48th overall. :eek:

I was afraid to look that up. LOL.

Now I have to imagine Le'Veon Bell in this Cardinal offense. Yer killin' me! :p

Bell isn't anywhere near the type of back he was at Michigan State. At MSU, he was a 245lb. plodding, workhorse type of back in the mold of TJ Duckett.

It's pretty hard to project a guy to lose 25-30lbs. and become the back he is today. In fact, it's downright lucky because I can't remember a back completely transforming himself like that in the past.

Debatable. But the timer did cost the steelers 18 seconds. So that hole last second play should have been avoided. Clock was running after the touch back and the steelers o coming on the field. Stopped once the ball was set lol

:thumbup: yep

The way he uses those jump cuts & sets up his blockers with his hesitation is superb. He might be better than AD right now. :eek:

I also think that's what has transformed #21 on the Cards this year as well. The first game I saw him this year I was like woooo that's Patrick Peterson?

He looks like a totally different dude physically & on the field

Agreed. I couldn't believe how much smaller he looked when I saw him in Chicago.

Two things to keep an eye on this week:

1. Steelers Safety Will Allen (their best DB) left the MNF game early with an ankle injury. Will he be back on Sunday? Will it matter? His tackling has gone downhill lately. Another Safety, Ross Ventrone also pulled a hammy and did not return.

2. Will Dwight Freeney be ready to dress on Sunday?
