The Seattle offense didn't play the third string QB of the Cards. They played one of the best defenses in the NFL. Peterson believes he is the best corner in the NFL. He had his hands on Lynch right on the sideline halfway on the 80 plus TD run and Lynch flicked him off like a mosquito. Contrarily Sherman wraped up the Cards top RB several times with textbook tackles twice for losses. The LOB slapped around Fitzgerald and the Cards RBs like a little red headed stepchilds. Cardinals ran for 29 yards. The refs gave AZ more yards on phoney interference calls than they earned with completions. They called 11 penalties on the Hawks to only 2 on AZ. AZ gained less than 200 yards and was awarded around 100 against Seattle plus over 100 on the PI calls.
Dude thats because the cards defense was on the field all night long because of so many three and outs.the greatest defense in the world is going to get tired when it has to stay on the field all day long. Look back at my post on my prediction of the game on your cards/seahawks thread.
You'll see that i said it would be close in the first half because of the cards defense.But then in the second halfd because of so many three and outs having a third string quarterback,the defense would be on the field all day long and get tired and thats when the hawks would pull away and blow them out. was it close in the first half? yes.
Look what happend in the FIRST game when they had a reliable quarterback dude as their backup,.much closer game.hardly impressive.
Not true...Seattle had the ball only 6 minutes longer than AZ so it wasn't all night. Arizona also got 17 first downs so it wasn't three and out that often, but the Cards did punt 9 times.
I under stand that Arizona will start Thomas against the 49ers next Sunday.
when has a white boy ever been able to be a game changer in the last few decades.
