The Cardinals did not shut down the run.

I'm tired of hearing this....

Coaching staff and Jake shut down our run. Williams was averaging over 5 yards a carry, and Stewart was averaging over 4.

They did not stop our run. We did!!!!

We got away from the run way too early, then tried to force the passing game when it wasn't there. Terrible performance by our QB, and terrible playcalling by the coaching staff to keep trying to force it. There wasn't even that much pressure.

Stewart and Williams had only 15 combined carries..... 15!!!

yeah if you would have told me we would run the ball 16times, ALL GAME i would have told you that you were crazy. Our game plan stunk. why didn't we play panther football? instead we decided to be pass happy after the first drive(where we did whatever we wanted). but too late to complain but damn who was coaching that game? didn't seem like fox or coordinators had an interest

Agreed 100 percent!!!

pete

we made the same mistake that atlanta made last week. there was no reason to totally abandon the running game like that.

i agree 100%

we stopped ourselves and embarrassed the hell out of the organization doing it.

sad......

After the 1st drive, we had 6 carries for 9 yards for the rest of the 1st half. Sorry, but that is shutting down the run. By the time the half was over we were down 27-7 and couldn't afford to keep running the ball. 6 carries in the 2nd half for 25 yards, but the first run was a 15 yard carry, followed by negative yards on each of the next 2 carries. After that first 2nd half run, it was only 5 carries for 10 yards or 2 ypc. The run was shut down hard.

The YPC stats are nice, but way overinflated by the 31 yard run on the 1st drive.

When your QB throws a a pick almost everytime you have the ball its not hard to shut down a offense. I like Jake but this has been one of his worst years ever. He has not been consistent at all. Most years he gets better around playoff time but this year he was just off all season.

I agree the Cards didn't shut down our running game. We just didn't run at all after the TD from Stewart. Jake should have let Williams & Stewart do some run more than throwing it. Hopefully this game will be a wakeup call to stop doing this poo & run the ball more when you're at 1st or 3rd down when the field goal is too far to risk throwing the ball.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
