Who Will Beat the Cardinals Next?


On November 4th the Cardinals will be playing the Buccaneers. My question is who will beat the Cardinals, the Buccaneers or the Cardinals? The Cardinals at this point could be 7-0. They have the defense, but the offense is still making calls and plays out of the Three Stooges playbook. Here’s how to play Three Stooge’s Style:

  • Multiple penalties
  • Not getting the play off before the time clock runs out
  • Expecting Warner to be able to make a 5 step drop and get rid of the ball (other than the way he is getting rid of the ball—fumbling it!)

I’ve written this before and I’ll write it again. The offense needs to run, run, run, until it absolutely has to throw. It’s okay to punt the ball and give the defense good field position; the defense has been playing great. Warner needs to stop forcing the ball, it’s better to throw it away than to have just one more turnover. Consider giving Rattay another chance. Get the play called before the clock runs out. Please, Coach Whisenhunt, manage the game. When Whisenhunt can’t get the play in to Warner, Warner should just get all his players lined up and call a play. In conclusion, they have two weeks to figure it out. I’ll be in San Diego—hopefully not burning up over the game, or just burning up, period.
