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.

    • The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.
    • 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.
