That's the number of rushing plays called after being down only 10 points.

Face it, Fox and the coaching staff went into panic mode just like in the Superbowl(going for 2 too early).

All 6 turnovers came from passing plays.

The Cardinals never "stopped" the run, they rarely even put 8 in the box. That's why Steve was always double covered.

Just wanted to say that cause way too many people are blaming Delhomme/Defense.

It's just funny because how often have we criticized Fox for sticking to the run even when it's not working, and here is the one game in which he should have done just that and he decides to let Jake air it out.

Similarly, you would think a team that constantly faces double teams against Steve Smith might think it necessary to double an equally capable receiver in Fitzgerald.

They stopped running because they didnt want to get behind, they wanted a quick score becasue it was becoming apparent that our defence couldnt stop them. They didnt just say "down by ten no more running" they just planned on scoring and then go back to running.

The problem was, because of Jake and the o-line , they couldnt get the quick score.Meanwhile the Cardinals kept scoring forcing the Panther to continue to pass.

You kind of just proved the point he's trying to make. We wanted to score quick so we abandoned the run. Our run has scored for us all year. It scored for us on our first drive. Wanting to score should mean give it to who has scored for us all year. And that is DeAngelo. I understand what you are saying, but it is more important to play your game than become a one-dimensional team. Which is exactly what the Cardinals wanted. If we had kept running it, even down 10, we could have kept the ball out of their offenses hands, and given our defense a break.

7 runs the REST of the game..

YUP Fox got scared (or davidson) and they threw any chance of us winning out the window.

Why do you stop doing what got you to the playoffs?

This one still haunts me. This one doesnt get any better with time passing, only worse.

fug our scheme- its was poo.

Yeah. The more you just take a step back and look at the game as a whole, SO many things keep jumping out.

And there are some strange comments coming from the players. Jake saying they stopped the run.

The downplay of worse time to have a bad game. HUH?

I haven't heard much though from the other rb's besides Hoover and the Secondary I have heard zilch.

Just a very strange game.

    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
