Grades: Cardinals at Panthers

[Laetitia]

span class=bold_italicB/span span class=boldQUARTERBACK/span: You're tempted to give everyone an A, but that wouldn't be fair. Jimmy Clausen turned in his best game, and made a few throws, but he wasn't a Pro Bowler by any stretch of the imagination. His 107.6 rating was a season high, and the 7.4 yards per attempt were adult-like. It still was just 141 yards, but they were the 141 yards heard round the world.p/span class=bold_italicA-/span span class=boldRUNNING /span span class=boldBACKS/span: Offer the Panthers 45 rush attempts, and they won't care how many yards they gain, and they'll take it every time. There was another pesky Jonathan Stewart fumble, but the 5.1 yards per attempt makes up for that.

A+ coaching? Are you high? How many red zone FGs did we have again?

...and that against a poor Cardinals defense

We have squeaked by at home twice this season vs. the bottom of the NFC West. The Cardinals were terrible.

I know right. I thought the first half was ok because we moved the ball but at the 10 minute mark in the 3 qtr you could see Fox ball emerging and trying to set on a lead rather than go for the jugular....

Agreed.

We got into FG range and Fox shut down the offense. I wish he would just kick on 1st down and get it over with.

Coaching was still pretty pathetic.

Boy Darin was a generous fellow with those grades. I guess it's Christmas after all.
