Worst playcalling I've ever seen by the Cards. They had all the momentum and went run, run, pass on three series. It cost them what could have been 14 points.

Still, the Bears can't put anything together so the Cards will be OK.

I hate the roughing/running into/ the kicker crap. I mean, if you run right into the kicker on purpose without any intent (such a blocking a punt), I can understand it.

Seems like the Bears are trying too hard to make the big hits instead of the sure tackles.

Handing off to James on 3rd and 1 was terrible. He did shit tonight. Should've taken a shot throwing the ball. If it's incomplete, you're still looking Rackers on 4th. If it's complete, it's a much closer kick.

If it's incomplete, the Bears get a TO back and only need a FG. If it's a sack or a pick (high %s given it's the Cardinals), everyone screams at them for not running and kicking.

Running the ball was right move given you have a kicker that hasn't missed under 50 (it was a 40 yarder), you needed one yard and your opponent just had one TO left.

Just like with the James fumble, there's just some things you can't control as a coaching staff. To Green's (and the OC/DC) credit, the Cardinals called a great game. You just can't account for a tackle completely forgeting to block a DE on the goal line, a RB who hasn't fumbled in a year fumbling, a complete special teams brain fart and a kicker who hasn't missed from 40 missing.

I don't know what the odds of all four of those happening withing roughly a quarter of play are, but I am pretty safe in assuming you would need the bad mojo of a disasterous organization like the Cardinals to even have a chance at all of them happening.

With the aggressive blitzes the Bears were calling, that situation was crying out for a RB or TE screen. Hell, go back to the screen they kept running to Boldin in the first half, that would have picked up a yard. That call is enough reason to fire the Offensive Co-Ordinator right there. You can understand the thinking though... surely any NFL kicker has to make a 40 yarder when he needs to.

On a plus side, I am completely stoked at how well Leinart played and how much composure he showed on that last drive. Still don't think he has great physical tools, but he has a presence about him and makes smart throws, and that bodes very well for a long and successful career.

Can you really be on a 5-11 team and be considered 'clutch'?

I'd think so. I never watched either of them much in college, but everything I read over their college years had me feeling that Leinart had the chance to be a very good NFL quarterback, while Vince Young had a chance to be a very good alternate version of Michael Vick.

Still far too early to say, but even before they took a snap in the pre-season I would have prefered having Leinart on my roster than Young.

Watching him walk to the tunnel was priceless. Dude look likes he is going to bust a gasket in the locker room.

It should have never got to needing the FG to win. The game turned when the RT let a DE have a blind shot, untouched, at Lienarts back which led to one of the fumble TD's. He was looking to block a LB who showed no signs of blitzing while the DE just flies up field. That play should have never happened. Don't know what the ^&%& he was looking at.

See bhlloy's post.

Edgerrin James carried the ball 36 times for 55 yards.

A screen pass would have been better. Yeah, the Bears still have a time out, but you're looking for one yard against a team that was stacking the box against the run, and Leinart had a pretty good game under center. If nothing else, I'd think he could've screened it off to James and gotten the first, the chains moved, and another couple cracks at moving closer to the uprights.

Instead, you run it up the gut, you go for a 40-yarder (which ain't a chip shot for anybody, and Rackers had already missed two of his last three kicks), and suddenly you've blown a 23-3 lead.

This reminds me of the Jets' playoff loss a year or two ago, where Herm Edwards just chose to run up the gut three straight times before a field goal attempt, which failed and cost him the game.

If it's incomplete, the Bears get a TO back and only need a FG. If it's a sack or a pick (high %s given it's the Cardinals), everyone screams at them for not running and kicking.

Running the ball was right move given you have a kicker that hasn't missed under 50 (it was a 40 yarder), you needed one yard and your opponent just had one TO left.

Just got in from a bar watching the games with all my friends.

I have a one friend who absolutely loathes DA BEARS. She only decided to join us during half time when we were down 20-0. With 2 seconds left in the 3rd quarter the score was 23-3 and she was talking about as much smack as one person can towards a group of about a dozen.

Fast forward about 45 minutes and she feels like the biggest idiot in the entire area of Chicago.

I'm too drunk to let people know just how absolutely insane this game was to watch for Chicago Bears fans watching it in Chicago but wow, this was incredible. See you all tomrorow.

Can't completely blame Rackers or even the play call on the 3rd and 1. The Cardinal's defense gave their offense chance after chance to put the Bears away in the 1st half and they only ended up getting field goals. The announcers mentioned it would come back to haunt the Cardinals and it did, just not the way most people envisioned it.

Actually a cool video, with the music and the opposite view slo-mo half way through -- that's what football is all about. And after taking the first hit and Urlacher lining him up in perfect position, the Bus just ran him over. The knee to the head as Urlacher slipped to the ground was icing on the cake.

*sigh* Welcome to my world, non-Cardinal fans. That fourth quarter was in a nutshell, the typical Cardinal luck-all bad. Sucks though because so many positives could come out of that game-the defense played their best game in as long as I can remember. Leinart again looked good, especially on late game drives. And then they piss it all away in the fourth quarter. *sigh*

I doubt Rackers will be released. He had such a great season last year that they signed him to a multi-year contract. If he keeps losing games for them like the two this season though, it will be harder and harder to justify keeping him.

LWS, come on now, I'm assuming you're a Chicago fan. How can you say such a foolish thing? The man is a pure stud.

Pretty much that video of Urlacher getting run over sums it up.

He isn't the best tackler in the world, and I feel that is kind of a problem for a middle linebacker. He misses a lot of tackles and he needs help from his teammates bringing people down a fair amount of the time

I am not saying he is terrible. I am just saying, I don't know if he is pro-bowl caliber. I'm just sick and tired of all the hype, not just for the bears being compared to the 85 bears, but in general.

Urlacher to me is a solid to above average player. This Bears team could be something special, but they better show up every week and they might want to consider running the ball more than 15 times a game or whatever the amount was.

Pumpy Tudors
10-17-2006, 07:50 AM
I keep thinking about Edgerrin James on 2nd-and-2 and 3rd-and-1 on the final drive. What happens if they get the first down? They probably just run the ball a couple more times and try the field goal. As well as Leinart was playing, you can't risk throwing the ball downfield with less than a minute to go. All it takes is one missed block (I'm looking at you, Mr. Right Tackle Man) and Leinart gets sacked or fumbles. I guess I'm thinking that it's insignificant that the Cardinals didn't get the first down before Rackers' field goal attempt. They got into their kicker's range, and he missed. The loss is clearly not entirely on the shoulders of Neil Rackers, but I think that he and the offensive line deserve more blame than the coaching staff.

The offensive line deserves the most blame for the loss. Leinart was very good, Boldin stepped up bigtime, and the defense appeared to confuse Grossman. The special teams weren't good, but the offensive line could have prevented both of those Chicago defensive touchdowns. Most teams can sit on a 20-point lead when their defense is dominating. The Cardinals can't, because they can't keep the other team's defense on the field.

I feel really bad for Dennis Green, Matt Leinart, and even Edgerrin James. Green's obviously frustrated, Leinart did just about all he could, and James continues to get hung out to dry by his offensive line. Worst of all, though, people are going to forget the absolutely inspirational effort by the Arizona defense, and that's a shame.

I am not saying he is terrible. I am just saying, I don't know if he is pro-bowl caliber. I'm just sick and tired of all the hype, not just for the bears being compared to the 85 bears, but in general.

Urlacher to me is a solid to above average player. This Bears team could be something special, but they better show up every week and they might want to consider running the ball more than 15 times a game or whatever the amount was.

So a play where a powerhouse RB runs Urlacher over in horrible field conditions shows that he's average or just above average? Are you freakin kidding me?

Here is a thought. . . do you think maybe you see him miss a lot of tackles because the guy gets in position to make a tackle 3 out of every 4 plays and he simply has more chances to make tackles?

Again, the fact that you think he's overrated makes me wish to God you saw a truly average middle linebacker play on your team someday. Instead of Urlacher, you should get to watch Andra Davis, a solid, decent MLB play ball.

You won't have the top defense in the league anymore, but hey, Urlacher is just a solid guy, right? FWIW, Scouts, Inc. rates Urlacher as one of the top 10 players in the game. I get to watch Al Wilson play MLB for my team. He's a special player and a great team leader. He misses a few tackles, but is a pro bowl calibur player. I'd trade you Wilson and a first round pick for Urlacher today and wouldn't think twice.

I like how Coffee Warlord disappeared from the thread after the first 20 minutes or so.

Sorry but I call BS on this one... I am not a Bears fan but I am a fan of Urlacher. Great football player. With my amateur eyes I'd guess that he gets to the ball more than anyone else who isn't named Ray Lewis. Those 2 are 1-2 in the LB debate, end of story.

and I gotta do it... Tony, Tony... tony, tony... his statement about closing up the roof and giving the stadium back to whatever dude's family had the land originally was special. I just wish he would have gone back to it after the bears came back. Normally I loath his announcing but that statement was great.

I thought one of the truest statements came from *que horror music* Joe Theisman. Half-way through the first quarter Rex Grossman threw a lame duck that was dropped by one of their defensive backs deep in Bears territory, he said something to the effect of ... "remember this play, it's going to comeback to haunt them later on."

The Cardinals DB didn't pick that pass off, the Cardinals in turn didn't have a shot at a third touchdown or perhaps another field goal effectivly costing the Cardinals the game. Even if it was just a field goal the score after Devin Hesters punt return would've been 26-24.

And for the record, I love Tony Kornheiser. Don't know why, but I just like the change of pace, the joking. He's not so stuffy all the time, like most football announcers are.

I liked Barkley. Whatever it was, it seemed to keep Joe T down a bit, and made the game more watcheable. I'd be all for more guest spots.

I remember this play and remember it well. The score was 7-0 at the time. It was a third and long and the guy would have caught the ball around the 30. Instead the Bears had to punt and the Cards got the ball at the 21 or so. They promptly drove down the field and scored a TD to make it 14-0.

Good God, they are horrible. I'd rather listen to Madden.

The strange thing about that near-interception was that the Bears receiver completely quit on the play and almost (should have) allowed an uncontested interception. Had that ball been picked, that WR should have been chewed out big-time. He easily could have caught up to the DB and kept him from making a play on the ball. As it was, the DB defensed himself with his flipper hands.

Cardinals fired their O-Cord today....it was his fault the O-Line can't block, it was also his fault no one could tackle on the punt return...oh and it was his fault that Rackers missed to makable field goals.

typical cards....Karma bites the cards again.
