The Cardinals did not shut down the run.

I'm tired of hearing this....

Coaching staff and Jake shut down our run. Williams was averaging over 5 yards a carry, and Stewart was averaging over 4.

They did not stop our run. We did!!!!

We got away from the run way too early, then tried to force the passing game when it wasn't there. Terrible performance by our QB, and terrible playcalling by the coaching staff to keep trying to force it. There wasn't even that much pressure.

Stewart and Williams had only 15 combined carries..... 15!!!

yeah if you would have told me we would run the ball 16times, ALL GAME i would have told you that you were crazy. Our game plan stunk. why didn't we play panther football? instead we decided to be pass happy after the first drive(where we did whatever we wanted). but too late to complain but damn who was coaching that game? didn't seem like fox or coordinators had an interest

Agreed 100 percent!!!

pete

we made the same mistake that atlanta made last week. there was no reason to totally abandon the running game like that.

i agree 100%

we stopped ourselves and embarrassed the hell out of the organization doing it.

sad......

After the 1st drive, we had 6 carries for 9 yards for the rest of the 1st half. Sorry, but that is shutting down the run. By the time the half was over we were down 27-7 and couldn't afford to keep running the ball. 6 carries in the 2nd half for 25 yards, but the first run was a 15 yard carry, followed by negative yards on each of the next 2 carries. After that first 2nd half run, it was only 5 carries for 10 yards or 2 ypc. The run was shut down hard.

The YPC stats are nice, but way overinflated by the 31 yard run on the 1st drive.

When your QB throws a a pick almost everytime you have the ball its not hard to shut down a offense. I like Jake but this has been one of his worst years ever. He has not been consistent at all. Most years he gets better around playoff time but this year he was just off all season.

I agree the Cards didn't shut down our running game. We just didn't run at all after the TD from Stewart. Jake should have let Williams & Stewart do some run more than throwing it. Hopefully this game will be a wakeup call to stop doing this poo & run the ball more when you're at 1st or 3rd down when the field goal is too far to risk throwing the ball.

    • they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now. 
    • He will likely remain unsigned the remainder of this season(barring someone being in a pure QB panic AND making poor decisions) largely due to the cost. I do think he will get multiple offers to be a backup QB and perhaps a couple to potentially start this offseason.  I will continue to beat the same horse over and over.....he should go to a successful team with an established starter. If I were him, go to somewhere like SF, LAR, etc. Somewhere with a successful QB coach and brilliant offensive mind and ALSO a set situation at QB. Ride the pine and adjust for a year or two. Chill and be around better culture. I would suggest the same for Bryce but he will be limited to wherever we can trade him. 
    • I dont think the clock has started yet on canales.  Once he gets his guy then the pressure starts.  WFNZ/mike kaye said  yesterday that he thinks there are 4 options here regardless of bryces status, Geno, Fields, Wilson maybe Jones.
