Let's Go Cardinals!
I’m so pumped up!
My dream is buried in the second page of a forum...
Oh well, I'll soon get over it... And try to fulfill it by myself...

Gerald Hayes just owning Gore on first 2 plays.
Both went for losses.

Yeah looks like that run D carried over from the playoffs

Great news
If Gore starts getting some big yardage, it could forecast trouble for us all year…

Warner still not looking good.
Missing open receivers and just had a pass intercepted.

Think he felt the pressure on that one

He had a ton of time on that pick.
Just looked like he didn’t even see Willis.

Brown made a kind of unexpected block on the rusher..
Maybe you’re right, Ill watch it again afterward.

Defense looking real good so far.
Dansby and Hayes stopping the run and B-Mac showing why we signed him by deflecting a perfect pass that would of been a td.

Hey guys, for my first post on your blog
I would like to say thank you for the best Super Bowl I can ever remember watching.
Second, beat them Niners!! They are my Mother-in-law’s team.
Thank you drive through...

God I love football! I’ll literally watch ANY team play, and if I got the Cards/Niners game here, I would be watching that instead of the stupid Seachickens…
Thank you drive through...

How are they looking? (the Seachickens)
NFL.com is showing them looking like crap but stats can be deceiving.

Thier D looks phenominal.
Offense…well, first game of the regular season, you can’t expect a non-playoff team to be very good right out the gate…

I am predicting right now...
That Leinart will be starting by Week 5. Either through performance, injury, or whatever…

Lets hope this doesn't happen.
Don’t get me wrong I think Leinart can still be a good QB but he is no Warner.
by Pyromnc on Sep 13, 2009 3:22 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I totally agree...
But Warner’s age and history are against us here. If we get NYGiants Warner this year, we are screwed…

We are just owning the run game right now. Docket just burst through the line to make a stop 3 yards behind the line.
49ers are now at -12 yards on 8 carries.

Welcome to ROTB.
Could be just rust. Last year he had troubles in the opener but came out in the 2nd half very strong. Lets hope that is the case here ::Knocks on Wood::

i’m a little surprised that fitz still has zero receptions
COOL BEANS!
by lexmarklover on Sep 13, 2009 3:52 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
No Problem.
I saw that he was open a few times in the first quarter but Warner failed to get to him. The Niners are also doing a good job of covering him. This happened in the Super Bowl and we all know how that turned out for Fitz in the 2nd half.
by Pyromnc on Sep 13, 2009 3:53 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Great games...
From Dockett and Campbell so far. Hightower has been good as well…

Can’t be too bad if he is out there still playing with it.

Half-Time Recap
The Good
Hightower has looked good in the passing game having 7 receptions for 67 yards.
The run defense: Allowed 3 yards and 1 TD on 12 carries.
The Pass defense: Been good with the exception of one play that went for 50 yards. Redeeeming themselves with 3 sacks and 1 fumble recovery.
The Bad
Kurt Warner: is just 11/20 for 128 yards with 2 INTs
The Rushing: 8 carries for 12 yards.
The Ugly
Levi Brown: Allowing way to many guys to get past him. He is really looking like crap.
Penalties on defense, offense and special teams: 8 penalties for 58 yards. Not gonna win with tons of penalties.
by Pyromnc on Sep 13, 2009 4:03 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Add OL as a whole to The Ugly. They are just allowing way to many guys to hit Warner.

Thanks, some stuff I couldn’t figure from NFL game center.
Offense seems like it’s all Hightower. And one shot to Urban…
by tw3kr on Sep 13, 2009 4:07 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Mainly checkdowns to Hightower to get him out of trouble really
He hasnt become the focus of the offense overnight

Nice return by Rolle.
Bouncing around and breaking tackles.

Hightower's YPC closer and closer to 2
Is the passing game so bad they are selling out against the run??
by tw3kr on Sep 13, 2009 4:20 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
O-Line isn't giving any help.
Not blocking for the passing game or the running game. Making it real hard for either parts of the offense to get it going.

Gotcha
Kreider or Becht doing anything?
I saw Kreider had a catch for 3 a minute ago.

That was more of just a checkdown.
I haven’t noticed a whole lot of Becht but Kreider isn’t blocking a whole lot. Can’t blame him when he has a beast coming at him in P. Willis.

Its going to be a long, long season
I can feel it, based on todays display. No fight from the offense whatsoever. Really missed a healthy Boldin and Breaston.
And of course, and O line that could block.
by Irishcardinal on Sep 13, 2009 5:41 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
That's what killed us was the O line.
I think if they are better we win this one. Think that was one of the worse performances I have seen out of them since Whiz took over.

The line was bad, but there were a lot of plays where Warner had time to set his feet and missed badly.

Same old Cardinals!
I felt the offense was a little to cavalier during the preseason. Frankly they stunk! This wasn’t a team effort. The offense didn’t show up. Only the defense. Congratulations to the defense. They carried the team… just couldn’t do it all by themselves.

At least it was a close game...
Cards did a good job coming back in the second half, Defense looks really good, Warner looked a lot better in the second half, and it looks like Beantower is going to have a good year.

Forgot to mention the Penalties
If it wasn’t for that they would have had a touchdown after the Punt Return that got them inside 49er territory. Whiz needs to fix that up.

I imagine heads will roll for all the penalties.

If I was Whiz
I would punish them with a Singletary like practice next time until they stop committing so many penalties.
by JoeCB1991 on Sep 13, 2009 6:12 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Now can we get a new tackle?
Wells is decent on pass pro and Brown is obviously a better run blocker. Why don’t they just switch? The experiment is over. He failed at tackle. And the way he is blocking, Kurt will be out sooner than I would like. And Matty would be in real trouble on his blind side.
Life's too short. Be a fan. Orlando Magic, Arizona Cardinals,Tampa Bay Rays and of course "the U"! What a winning combo.
