eball Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Seems like such a short time ago, and wow, is this guy bad. Just brutal gameday coaching last night. Lucked out early on a terrible 4th down play call, horrible clock management, and one of the worst challenges I've ever seen. I was shocked to learn the Cardinals have gone for it on 4th down the fewest of any teams since 2012 also. I wonder if he keeps his job past the season if the Cards don't make the playoffs.

eball Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 He's a good coach, but last night wasn't a positive reflection on his decision making. That's an understatement. One of the worst coached games I recall seeing. And he couldn't scheme something to negate a 3-man pass rush? It was brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 They need to move on from Carson Palmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) They need to move on from Carson PalmerUnfortunately, O29, right now they are ahead of us in the draft. If we make the playoffs I will be thrilled. If we don't, and we pick someplace like 10th and can't move up, it is going to get ugly around here when the qbs start rolling off the board.

IslandBillsFan Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I only watched the first half. But Arizona's first drive was impressive. Shortly thereafter, Dallas dropped everyone into coverage and only rushed 3-4 players. Somehow, Arizona didn't make any adjustments and got demolished. Not sure how the second half played out, but the final score makes me think Arizona failed to make good adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 It was shocking because for the first quarter, Arizona was a juggernaut. I think they put up close to 140 yards in the first half with 13.5+ minutes in TOP. Then, a holding call wiped out a touchdown and their kicker missed a chip shot. There was nothing Arians could do about that, but it's crazy how much pressure Dallas got with a three man rush. Even then, Larry Fitz played out of his mind. But then they would go to throwing two yards behind the line and getting stuffed while the deep ball was working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 The Cards are the NFC team I follow. They got old *quick*. The team still employs Karlos Dansby. Palmer should have retired last year, there is no running game, and their offensive line shift has been a disaster. They made Veldheer switch from LT to RT (after playing LT in college and his entire NFL career). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I never saw him as a genius. Dennison will get the same accolades if we continue like we do. There is little difference in what they will have done than play smooth safe football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 They need to move on from Carson PalmerKind of shocking that they did not make a move for a QB in the '17 draft. Instead, they drafted Reddick, who they've now moved to IL. Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I like Bruce. He waited longer for his chance to be a HC than he should have..... but this Arizona team was built to win now a few years ago they started kicking the can down the road and the problem is Palmer didn't last as long as they hoped. They need a Quarterback, and pretty desperately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL couldnt block at all. I think they are missing 3 starters. Not only that but the play calling didnt even try to help. They went empty or only blocked with 5 all game.

Not specific to last night's game, but I felt prior to the 2016 season that Palmer was done...and it sure has looked that way for the majority of games played since the 2016 opener, hasn't it?

I watched every snap of the opening two games in 2016 before they played us. Carson looked alright and that scheme at peak efficiency was a thing of beauty. Carson turns 38 before the last game of the season. I think it's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 They need to move on from Carson Palmer Carson is long in the tooth, and they def. need to have a replacement, but I don't think he's their problem. He was brilliant in the 1st quarter, throwing lasers. I think their OL sucks. I also think Arians lacked suitable adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to protect him and Arians doesn't know how. He did the same to Big Ben. Roethlisberger used to get beat up every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
