Cardinals at Panthers

Last time: the Cards blew a 17-3 third-quarter lead in Charlotte, and a 65-yard Jake Delhomme strike to Steve Smith clinched the Panthers' 27-23 win.

This time Arizona lost all five of its East Coast games, and only the defeat at Carolina was close. Waht the Cards bring now is "a chip on our shoulder," says defensive tackle Darnell Dockett. "We're supposed to be the worst playoff team, we shouldn't even show up." Can hard feelings soften the one-two rushing punch of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart? Maybe for a series or two, but not for four quarters; the Panthers had an NFL-best 30 TDs on the ground. And if Arizona's D pays too much attention to the run, Delhome will send Smith deep, with little or no safety help.

Panthers 26, Cardinals 17

dumbass doesn't even know how to spell Delhomme. :rolleyes:

Well, he did spell it right on the first try. Funny how he fail on the second try after getting the first one right. :rofl:

But I agree if the Cards defense focus too much on trying to stop the run, our WRs are going to kill them. That what make our offense great: the WRs & RBs. We haven't got a good offense like that in a long, long time.

They have to talk to fill space but none of that sh*t matters one bit, the Cards' record on the East coast, the fact the Cats won the last game, nothing, none of it. All that matters is how they play on Saturday. Look at all the people who thought that the Fla-OK game would be some shootout because they both have potent offenses. I would hardly call that game a shootout. A lot of times it is the belittled/ignored aspects of a team that end up being the difference in a positive way. Look at the Cards' win over the Falcons. People denigrated their D and run game and those phases stepped up big.

I am with Fireball, the past doesn't mean squat. If we don't play our best we will be finishing our season this Saturday. I just hope that Trgo has dialed up a good gameplan after having 2 weeks to do so. I don't want to hear anymore of this "they came out and surprised us" crap like we heard the first time. Every other team they have played on the east coast have buried them including Philly and the Giants who will be our opponent if we win. We need to come out fast and hungry and play aggressive from the beginning rather than wait to get behind and then try and turn it on.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
