The tape they should show in every meeting...

Dude, I swear. We were gashing them on that first drive and then just abandoned the run completely after that. Didn't make sense at all. Then came the Delhomme meltdown with 6 turnovers. Ugh, still pisses me off.

I tell people this all the time.

People blame Jake, but I blame the coaches.

We ran the ball down their throats. We had 2 RBs over 1,100 yards each that year, but we kept passing. We weren't behind much, but they felt like we absolutely had to pass it.

That game ruined Delhomme when it shouldn't have been put all on his shoulders.

I was at that game and the thing I didn't understand was that on our first touchdown drive it was all run and we scorched them.  The minute Arizona took the lead , eventhough it was still in the first quarter we abandoned the run and went pass, pass, pass.  Even with Jake having a horrible game, Fox still threw the ball.  Plus, how can a secondary let Larry Fitzgerald get that open that many times.

IIRC Fitzgerald had the playoffs of his life that season; he burned a lot of secondaries. People were comparing him to Jerry Rice at the time.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
