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 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  

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.

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.

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  

finally, 'Q' got a pass interference call

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  

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  

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  

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  

we need a good defensive stop here

get some decent pressure on Schaub

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  

turnover would be nice

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

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  

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  

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  

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  

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.

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

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.

San Fran lost to Atlanta.

They go into their bye with an ugly loss and are now 3-2.

Seattle destroyed Jacksonville and we have to play them next week. Will be a tough game but we need it to catch San Fran on their bye.

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.
