I concur

But ‘Q’? Really? He always has the sure hands. Nice field goal block. Another one by Calais Cambell. God this kid is a beast.

got to atdhe.net to watch stream

Q has had his fumbling problems over the course of his career.

15 (including today) times over 7 years, 10 of them lost.

by Pyromnc on Oct 11, 2009 3:00 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Q catches a lot of balls in traffic - which accounts for a lot of those.

He didn’t seem to get proper control of that catch today when it was knocked out.

by CardsIrish on Oct 11, 2009 5:28 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Calais Campbell with his second blocked field goal this season.

He predicted he would block five of them this season. Three more to go!

WTF?

Damn we can’t run.

A man from Dallas who bleeds red, not silver and blue.

by Sir Whirly on Oct 11, 2009 3:08 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

Started off good but since that first drive...

we haven’t run well at all. Since that first drive we have had 6 carries for 5 yards, not gonna wins games running that badly.

WTG Warner.

nope

had one shot that he let go through his fingers.

by Sir Whirly on Oct 11, 2009 3:20 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Should of been pass interference.

There has also been a couple overthrows by Warner that would have been a deep pass for a touchdown.

by Pyromnc on Oct 11, 2009 3:21 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

finally, 'Q' got a pass interference call

A man from Dallas who bleeds red, not silver and blue.

Nice work O

Id like to see a bit of Beanie now, lets get everything rolling. That said, Hightower looks sharp today.

by Irishcardinal on Oct 11, 2009 3:29 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

Think the Cards will keep passing to end the half.

Beanie should see lots of action in the 2nd half though.

by Pyromnc on Oct 11, 2009 3:31 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Halftime report.

The Good:
Kurt Warner: Almost perfect as he is 20-23.
Fitzgerald: 2 touchdown catches and 79 yards receiving.
Defense: Been making stops when needs and getting pressure on Matt Schaub.
Special Teams: Coverage has been great as usual and a blocked field goal.

The Bad:
Rushing: TH and Beanie did fine on the first drive but since then they haven’t done much just running 7 times for 9 yards. Gotta do better than that in the second half.

The Ugly:
Turnovers: They had another turnover in the redzone and got lucky that Houston didn’t capitalize on it. This has got to stop.

Other news:
Seattle winning their game 20-0 going into the half
Atlanta beating San Fran 35-10 going into the half.

by Pyromnc on Oct 11, 2009 3:46 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

D has looked great today.

Not sure what Houston was thinking with that call on 4th down though.

by Pyromnc on Oct 11, 2009 3:59 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

we need a good defensive stop here

get some decent pressure on Schaub

A man from Dallas who bleeds red, not silver and blue.

by Sir Whirly on Oct 11, 2009 4:24 PM MDT reply actions   1 recs

Agreed

We need some momentum, as it seems Houston has most of it right now.

by Pyromnc on Oct 11, 2009 4:27 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

turnover would be nice

A man from Dallas who bleeds red, not silver and blue.

by Sir Whirly on Oct 11, 2009 4:28 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

21-14 now....

We should have been adding on to our 21-0 lead but now we have allowed Houston to get back into it…

by Pyromnc on Oct 11, 2009 4:33 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

Sigh maybe we can get some momentum going on offense.

Maybe some more shots to Fitz and Q.

A man from Dallas who bleeds red, not silver and blue.

by Sir Whirly on Oct 11, 2009 4:34 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yea, got to get them back into the game.

We also need to do better in the 4th quarter, not touchdowns in 4th quarter this year.

by Pyromnc on Oct 11, 2009 4:37 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Is it me

or do we always seem to play way conservative everytime we get ahead and keep other teams in the game

by CARDstucknVA on Oct 11, 2009 4:35 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

We do play more conservative when we have a big lead.

There was times when we could have continued the drive but protection broke down or a penalty brought back a big play.

We have to score on this next drive.

Get some of that momentum back. Don’t want to give Houston the ball back with out scoring otherwise we could be done.

It is like they assumed they had the win being up 21-0.

Got to step on their throat when they are down not let up.

Would love to see DRC return one here giving the Cards a huge momentum shift and getting the crowd back into it. (Doesn’t have to be DRC but it would be nice if it was)

If your Houston do you go for 2 if you score?

I think they do since their offense has been unstoppable in the 2nd half. Makes us have to stop them here.

Nope. Texans are awarded TWO points in fourth quarter point after attempts by the kicker.

Part of the NFL’s new “Help a Retard” program for teams that just can’t get it over the hump.

Anyway, congrats guys. Good win.
