Bad Feeling About the Arizona Game (as in good results)

Recommended Posts

I don't hope for us to lose, but I obviously expect us to. At this point in our season and with the current state of things though, winning does us no good. Losing is to our benefit.

That being said, I haven't had this feeling about any other game since we last beat the Niners that I remember. I really feel like we're gonna back our way into a win Sunday and destroy the chances of getting the #1 pick.

Why?

*We are last in the league in YPG (263.2), guess who's next to last? That's right, the Cardinals (272.4).

*We are 26th in points allowed (26.0) while the Cards are worse, 30th to be exact, giving up 27 points a game.

*We are actually solid in pass coverage, we're 10th in the league giving up only 205.5 passing ypg. Cards are again, worse, at 25th allowing 235.9 per game.

*And here's where I see the biggest potential problem: We have been running the ball well despite our overall suckage. Well, the Cards are 30th in the league in rush yards allowed per game, giving up 143.3 ypg.

the cardinals scored more points in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game than we have all year... and hell, more than our what, last 4 games combined?

I think outside Goodson and Kasay, their kicker scored more total points than any one active player on offense that we have right now, lol.

I don't expect near as much offense out of them, and I am a bit worried, but they are a much better team... but maybe not when they're on the east coast!

Yeah I thought that earlier in the season too, but if you've watched their actual games, their passing game is horrible, almost as bad as ours in efficiency, at least it looks that way. And of course, they still don't run the ball well so we'll prolly control the clock, bust off a few runs, pick a few passes and accidentally win.

Skelton didn't look that bad, and they had a decent running game. Dunno, I'm not sold one way or another on the outcome.

Watch Clausen morph into Manning for one game, before returning to suckitude. One game would be just long enough to knock us away from Luck probably, lol.

I predicted that in a thread yesterday, along the lines of "in a season he's been so good at f*cking up, he'll continue the trend and f*ck up our chances of getting the #1 pick..."

And I bet he'll laugh his ass off all season if he does so.

    • 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.
    • 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
