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.

    • Really?  Back to this again? How many times have I said that I’d prefer to trade back from #1? Too many to count, but as I’ve pointed out, that’s going to be much easier said than done, as once we signal we want to trade back, teams will know we don’t want any of the QBs and they’d target the 2nd pick in a trade instead. All of my “T-Mac at #1” talk has been discussed under two circumstances… the first being that no QB or DE pop before the draft, and that we can’t trade back. But again, I know you don’t like to actually read that stuff when I say it, as I’ve said it numerous times.
    • Thanks for posting this. While this was far from a great performance, this critique shows what some of us noticed last week. Bryce played "a little better". There is some talent there. But, as you pointed out we really don't have a great pass blocking line for dropping back each down when we are behind. BY has got some bad habits and physical limitations. At times his teammates let him down. The play calling isn't always the best. I hope he can learn from last week and show us some improvement in the Saints game.
    • Oh, and yes, I’d take a WR first in this upcoming draft, but again, that’s not in a vacuum I wouldn’t have taken him over the QBs this past year or likely the ones next year either. It’s all relative to who is available in a specific draft, and I don’t think any of the QB’s are worth the risk at #1 this year. Also the fact that you’ve said you would take T-Mac #2 but scoff at him going #1 is just in itself, super weird.  How you can justify a player at #2 but not #1 solely because of their position and with complete disregard to the other players available, is absolutely crazy town talk
