Post Game Reaction: Cardinals Season Ends With 45-14 Loss To The Saints

PrintOuch. That one hurt. In a game where most of us at least expected a shootout till the end, the Arizona Cardinals were pounded 45-14 on Saturday. The game started off perfect for the Cardinals, when Tim Hightower ran the first play of the game 70 yards to stun the Saints crowd and put the Cardinals up 7-0. Then the fun happened.
After the Saints tied the game 7-7, Kurt Warner hit Jerheme Urban in stride, who was hacked by Randall Gay to force the fumble and suck any momentum out of the Cardinals offense at that point. The Saints added two more scores and the Cardinals eventually saw them selves in a 21-7 hole.
Darren Sharper would've had his 10th interception of the year, but a blow to Kurt Warner's face recalled the turnover. The Cardinals drove 80 yards before Beanie Wells ran in a 4 yard touchdown. That would be the closest the Cardinals would ever get.
Kurt Warner was knocked out of the game temporary after throwing a pick to Will Smith and injuring his chest on a blind slide hit.
Reggie Bush played one of the best games of his career, scoring on a 46 yard touchdown scamper and also returning a punt 83 yards in the 3rd quarter. That was the last score of the game and it would also propel the Saints into the NFC Championship game.
The only Cardinals that had remotely close good games were the running backs. Tim Hightower is COTW in my book, and Wells touchdown was big at the time. LaRod Stephens-Howling was productive with kick returns.
I don't want to give props to anyone on defense. They couldn't force a turnover or a sack and the score would've ballooned even larger had the Cardinals actually been in the game.
Personally I want to congratulate the Saints. They were the better team today and found ways to exploit the Cardinals' weaknesses. Losing Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Antrel Rollecertainly hurt, but that's no excuse for the lack of production on offense. The Cardinals can now enter offseason mode and so will we here at ROTB. Good luck to the Saints and represent the NFC well in the Super Bowl.
PS. I hate Jerheme Urban.

Yes we were without Trel and DRC, but...
Their game plan didn’t change. Go after McFly early and often. And it worked too. He was scored on 3 if not 4 times today. Find a weakness and exploit it. Its sad Kurt’s career ended this way but a nice trade off will be B Mc leaving as well.
Life's too short. Be a fan. Orlando Magic, Arizona Cardinals,Tampa Bay Rays and of course "the U"! What a winning combo.

I really hate that we traded him for Hood.
Biggest mistake the organization has made in years.
Who would win in a fight, Whisenhunt or a Hurricane?
Hold on, hold on, what if the Hurricanes name was Whisenhunt?
Daaaaaaaaaa Cards, Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards!!!
spoken with true passion and also a true hatred for urban
i agree they came out preparred and were a true match up problem. i think that this game speaks loudly about what we need to do in the draft. starting with Linebackers who can cover as well as a true 2nd corner toler played admiralbly but that is not enough
The Devil Birds just got cha
Really? you got that from my post? lol
What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

Not sure about the prepared part
but i agree that Toler stepped up in a tough spot and we need some linebackers can tackle.

McFadden is awful
Urban should go, trade Boldin Doucet is ready, re-think the D. Its a shame b/c last year’s D wasn’t as good in the regular season but played better in the postseason, Davis made some improvements but when it counted most our secondary is way too vulnerable with no pressure from the D line.
McFadden should go, Toler is already better
whats with Rashad being inactive in favor of Hamza Abdullah?
http://undrafteds.com/
you mean hamza abdu-who ??
how could they leave mcF***en out there ALL YEAR ??
was that Davis or Whiz ???
someone should pay for that, Toler, finally given a chance, looked like an actual CB,
which thet useless mcF can only pretend to be.
Seriously undrafteds
I’m leaning towards cleaing house. The Cardinals need to address defense in the draft, and possibly consider trading Boldin ASAP for an early 2nd round pick. We can revamp this D and be ready for next year.

Revenge of the Birds
dunno bout cleaning house...
but def. lots of shoring up to do. The O-line is pretty solid but hopefully Herman and B Keith can continue to develop.
I think Toler is ready to start (using McFadden starting all year as a barometer, Toler is ready)
Doucet is better than I expected, trade Boldin immediately.
I agree we need a dominant NT, a dominant LB and another couple of bad a$# DBs. BBerry is prob gone, Okeafor and Haggans are on the older end of things, Hayes how close is he? If we could find a Casey Hampton type NT and a Patrick Willis type LB (a man can dream), and a Darrelle Revis type CB, we win the SBowl hahahaha.
Maybe we can ppick up all these defenders in the draft and trade Boldin for a gunslinger to back up Warner? I like Matt Moore for Carolina :)
http://undrafteds.com/
Would you move B Mac to nickle and put Toler on the corner
If he continues to improve?

Saints are a Juggernaut.
They dominated in every phase. Agree that Tim Hightower is COTW, only shining moment of the game. Defense gave up 90 points in post season. Needs to be the major focus for the off season regardless of what Warner may or may not do.
McFadden was burned repeatedly. Even after DRC was replaced by Toler, McFadden was the target. Need another CB even if Toler is good enough to start next year. Saints were all over our receivers and getting pressure. Cardinals couldn’t do either.
Aside from the 70 yard TD the Cards only put up 31 yards on the ground.
3 fumbles (2 recovered but still killed) + 1 int vs no TO. Recipe for failure. Worse IMO, is that the Saints didn’t even need to Cardinals to make those mistakes. The Cardinals just got beat down all day.
sigh
That fumble by Urban truly was a game changer. And the Cardinals offense was just starting to heat up…man…I’m so bummed out about it.
I knew once they got in that hole it was pretty much over. And seeing Kurt take those hits was tough. I admire his attempt to tackle Smith after the pick. I’m just glad hes ok…if this was truly his last game at least he left it all out on the field. What a career he had!
The cards are still fairly young in most positions…if they can shore up the QB position after Kurt leaves and work on the secondary, I think they are capable of more runs. Especially with Seattle and St Louis in full on rebuild mode.
Kurt did everything he could to get the Cardinals a title
Nothing for him to be ashamed about.

if Warner was running the entire offense we would have been better off.. he is simply the best
Hightower breaks 1 big one at the start, so ALL our rushes are right up the middle ?? what’s with that ?? no subsequent rushes( up the middle) go anywhere, but does that mean we adjust and go the edge, where we had success all year ?? no, Whiz is a stealer, his game plan is all up the middle, so we must continue ( doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is one definition of insanity)
Whiz needs an OC, he obviously just can’t cut it, and I don’t really care about LAST YEAR or ‘where we used to be compared to now’ .. none of that matters, get the job done or get out
What a bunch of whiners
this site has produced this year. I hate Jerheme Urban, we should tear the team apart, Whiz doesn’t cut it as an OC, won’t be back in the playoffs until 2042 – you sound like a bunch of women who didn’t get asked to the prom.
Let’s refresh your ridiculously short memories. This organization was the NFL’s version of the L.A. Clippers before Whisenhunt arrived. We’ve improved, record-wise, each season that he’s been here. Can’t cut it as an OC, great observation. He has two playoff appearances in three years with this organization (compared to one in the previous how many?), a Super Bowl appearance, four playoff victories – not to mention the Super Bowl victory he coordinated with Pittsburgh.
Road playoff victories don’t come that easily, especially when you get to seeds #1 and #2. We knew, all year, that our defense and the conversion to the 3-4 would be a work in progress, and that obviously showed in the playoffs. A legit outside LB pass rusher (may be Brown or Davis by next year, who knows?) and a dominant 3-4 NT makes this defense a far more viable threat next season.
Damn site is starting to sound like AZ Central.

we no longer put up with crap, and if you can describe that game in any other way, both sides of the ball, good for you.
we put up with crap forever, sorry, we just won;t do it anymore, we’re a Big Time team now, good tries mean nothing, progress means nothing, only success counts now
I don’t give a sweet dam who contributed to us getting competitive, from now on, you WIN or you suck, that’s just the way it is when you have some success, sentiment doesn’t count anymore
I didn’t see Whiz take any personal responsibility in the post-game gab… right, teflon Whiz
sorry Whiz, but you started it, now it’s win or go to H**l .. watch carefully next year if Whiz doesn’t do the right thing and get an OC who can actually adjust mid-game
if we are UP, Down, UP, Down it’ll be because the game planning needs to be adjusted dynamically and it is not happening (sorta like this year)
yeah yeah … we won 10, Whiz changed everything
very good, we won ONE more than last year .. whoopee … his contract is almost up … put in performance clauses, no free rides
at least we know we are in the big-time now because this debate even exists

How in the world can anyone complain so much about Whiz given where we came from. He has improved the team each year he has been here. He has built depth that we have never seen before. We actually have an organizational plan that covers when players leave in FA. He has shown amazing game planning on offense.
Of course every Cardinal fan wants the team to win now, but c’mon. You can’t honestly believe the best thing to do is to fire the coach? We are blessed to have him here.
WOW
Someone actually doesn’t approve of Whiz’ job. Let’s see. 8-8, 9-7, 10-6 and next year 11-5? Oh never mind. He won’t be here because since there was no improvement on the team, he will get fired. Whatever! Being sour should have only lasted 24 hours. Now that the emotion is out of it, you shouldn’t possibly be able to say that Whiz is the problem. You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution and Whiz is definately part of the solution.
Life's too short. Be a fan. Orlando Magic, Arizona Cardinals,Tampa Bay Rays and of course "the U"! What a winning combo.

I don’t see what hating Urban has to do with anything. His fumble killed the momentum for the Cardinals when it happened and he’s been fumbling like that since he’s been with the team.
I’m talking about this game that happened today, and not the future. I did respond to undrafteds comment that we do need to address D in the draft and should consider trading Q. I never called for Whisenhunt’s head and do think he’s the primary reason we’ve experienced success the last three seasons. Was there a noticable drop off in play calling this year? Yes. And I think that’s most people’s argument.

Well theres only a couple whiners
The same doom and gloom guys that went off after the Titans loss I believe. Most observations here are pretty correct tho. The D has been struggling for awhile and Im sure it will get a major revamping. Offense is only needing some minor adjustments. Most assements are pretty obvious on who needs to go and who we hope stays, some opinions are childish for sure. I for one am very proud of our team and what they have accomplished in the last couple years. I have the utmost confidence that the Cards will fix the problems and will be a contender again next year.
When I say clean house, I mean on defense
When you look at the overall picture, Robinson, Berry, Okeafor, Haggans, and Brown are all on the downsides of their career. While they did bring the blitz this season, the coverage was an issue that severely flawed the defense all year long. On offense, I wouldn’t make many changes.
I for the record, I do think that Bill Davis is good, and I’d prefer him to stay DC a few more years. I think injuries and the fact that the Cardinals were only six days removed from that tiring OT win against the Packers were the primary reasons the defense was so bad yesterday.
What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

Post season will be out defense
I didn’t expect the Cards to win this game and once Rolle and DRC went out, it was gone for sure.
Next year→ I don’t see Warner retiring. This offense is perfect for him. Beanie will get stronger with more practice. Whiz will get an OC. I don’t think he wants to do both.
I think the off season needs to be about re-vamping the defense. Cut Urban, trade Boldin while he has some value. Let Dansby go. He’s not worth the money. Re-sign Docket. Use the draft and free agency to get some pass rushers. We had medicore success all year putting pressure on the opposing QB. If you can get to the QB without having to blitz every time than that will take pressure off the CBs.
blitz every time ??
we get ahead and we go to pendergast’s proven (proven to lose) saggy zone, no blitz
we get behind and we go to pendergast’s proven saggy zone, no blitz
is that Davis or is that Whiz ?? someone needs to go for that
3-4 is great, if you can apply pressure… if you can’t, you better be blitzing someone and we weren’t
and if you are gonna rely on coverage, wtf is McFadden doing out there ? oh, Toler was ‘unproven’, well, McFadden was proven, proven BAD all year, so who’s decision was that ??
accountability, that’s what you get on a big-time team and we finally are… and Whiz had something to do with it, butr i REFUSE to become the new Eagles with Reid and McNab, yeah yeah great record, they just can’t finish … for 10 effing years … no way should we put up with that ..
so Whiz, was it you or was it Davis ?? you already own the pathetic offensive display, were you the defensive problem too??
scsa69 I agree with some of this bit...
your top two paragraphs here are spot on
http://undrafteds.com/
Defense is going to be the focus in the offseason
Seriously, if your defense allows BOTH Postseason foes to score 45 points EACH in games that truly matter then there is something wrong. Atleast 4 of those draft picks should go towards defense.
And speaking of Draft picks, trading Boldin for some should be a no brainer. As much as I like the passion and talent he brings to the table, he gets injured too much, even moreso when it counts….of the Cardinals last 6 playoff games he missed 3 of em (Panthers last year, Packers and Saints this year), and we ended up winning 2 of them too. I’d rather get some quality picks instead of watching my team pay 9 mill or so per year to a guy who isn’t able to play when we need him the most.
OK now that I got that rant off my chest, it’ll be interesting to see how the rest of the playoffs unfold.

I watched the Cards play the Packers last week , I thought and posted that , when a defense is that weak , you really don’t have much of a chance. I like Werner , I was really hoping he was ok to come back in the game and play. He is a first class guy. He is way betterthen Favre , which has NO class at all .

If you didn’t watch the Cardinals all year long, by the way the D played in the playoffs you might surmise that they are awful. You’d be wrong of course. You simply can’t call a team, or a D bad that completely dominated in around half of the quarters they played this year. They were #1 in rush D for 6 or 7 weeks, they were # 3 in sacks yada yada yada. Awful teams/D don’t accomplish that much. But I wouldn’t expect a Saints or a Packers fan to get it, or want to get it.

Off season mode.
Trade Q for a 2nd, 5th and 6th.
Cut McFly.
Cut Gator Hands Urban.
Pull up Onrea Jones from the PS.
Let Dansby walk (too expensive).
Resign Docket with the entire team understanding that going forward negotiations are only within the final 2 years of a contract.
Cut Ralph Brown.
Move Michael Adams to 3rd string SS.
Let BSP go and draft a QB.
Trade Matty boy for a starting CB. I know his completion % is over 60 but what good is 22/29 and 93 yards. He can’t go down field.
If we are going to establish a running game with possibly a new QB, then why not upgrade the line ASAP. Grimm might be a good fit in Buffalo and could be gone anyway.
And by the way. Nappy boy needs to go. Gandy.

Got Work to Do
First…I totally agree about the rest of the playoffs…I don’t care. I haven’t ever been a fairweather fan cardinals wise and now that we’re doing better I am enjoying and take full advantage of the fact that we aren’t holding water against big teams. I for one am aggrevated just like I’m sure others are that others think we only do well because we are in a weak division. I would love to go up against teams that have consistently beaten the pulp out of us and not expect us to get drubbed. It was a magic moment when we put the hurt on the vikings this year but other than that we’ve gone against tough teams and just…fallen apart. I would like a team that is evenly matched with teams like the saints and the colts, that is consistent not one that goes out and beats up the vikings only to lose to the 49ers and struggle to the Lions (THE LIONS) the next weeks. Yes we’re doing better but dammit, I have supported this team even when they were the joke of the NFL never making the playoffs and I think we DESERVE a good team just like the saints now seem to have. This is a salute to those who were still in the stands at sun devil stadium even when it was a long shot that we would make the playoffs even if we won. Lets get it together. Lets make a consistent team
change to above
…taking full advantage of the fact that I can complain about not holding water….
Rebuilding the Cards
If Warner retires…package Boldin and Leinart to Philly for McNabb. He’ll do well with the Cardinals offensive weapons and the slide won’t be as much, until they can get the “future” qb in here.
Get rid of Bill Davis…he’s worse than Pendergast and they are the worst tackling team in the NFL including the Rams and Lions.
Watson and Branch need to go on a fitness program with speed to rush the passer. They look like Gilbert Brown
Wilson gains 20 pounds and becomes a linebacker because he can’t cover like a safety should but he can tackle and spy on the qb. He’d probably make more plays than Dansby did all year.
Replace Dansby with a London Fletcher like linebacker who makes plays, is a solid tackler, and consistent run stopper
Berry and Robinson should retire. We should have kept Antonio Smith. We need two solid end rushers to compliment Dockett.
Okeafor and Campbell, either become consistent or you’re gone
Out…McFadden, Brown and Adams…they could not make the Arena League the way they cover and “try” to tackle
Cromartie…needs to bulk up, be more physical and learn how to tackle. He shouldn’t make the Pro Bowl until he learns how to tackle like Charles Woodson and Durelle Revis
Bridges and Brown…not the future. We need to upgrade our tackles through the draft
Get an Offensive coordinator…Whiz you cannot be unprepared or outcoached due to scheme any longer. You’re the head coach. Haley was so important to the team’s success last year. It showed with every game the offense sucked this season.
Without Warner, the Cards were a 4-6 win team at best. Leinart is not the answer. The defense has been pathetic for such a long time that the offesne was able to protect it, but you can’t win championships by outscoring teams.
You get -100 for this angry rant that makes no sence
you cant fire davis after just one year. A-DUB is one of the best SS of all time. LEINART CAN NOT BE JUDGED BY HIS PLAY THIS YEAR
The Devil Birds just got cha
What the hell happened to the Defense?
This is the same group that gave Brett Favre his worst game of the Season. It can’t just be injuries, Billy Davis must not have been prepared for this one.
One thing I will agree with HardHate on, Urban must go. When he dropped that pass that was picked off against the Panthers, and now the fumble. That ended the game for us. I think Warner doesn’t trust him anymore.
Warner is a tough man, going back into the game after that shot he took. I hope that wasn’t his last game here.
Billy Davis needs to Blitz more.
Toler and Doucet look like they will be good next year. I would replace McFadden with Toler.
Hightower and Beanie have a good future.
Please cut Urban!

I can't stand band-wagoner fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad.
Kurt Warner
I am a lifelong Saints fan and I have to say that when Kurt Warner went down after the block on the interception I had to hold my breath for a minute. I have total admiration for the man and I am glad that he was not seriously injured on the play. I think he is a class act and I hope he doesn’t retire. I believe he has plenty of football left in him. Loads of respect to Kurt Warner for his smarts and his toughness. Good luck to the Cards next season as I have no doubt that you all will be in the thick of it again come playoff time.
Life long Saints fan here too
Cards fans have nothing to be ashamed of. There are a hell of a lot of teams that would have loved to make it to the second round. I for one sure hope Kurt Warner comes back next year.

Was in the Dome for the beat down...
and it was nuts. I used to think we were loud at home. As long as the Saints get home games, they are going to win. That place is something else. Cards fans need to rally around the team and create an atmosphere like that every home game. “Let’s go cardinals! Lets go!” and playing Crazy Train just isn’t going to cut it like Who Dat and the Stand up and Get crunk song/ritual after TDs. And let’s all be serious here – that is all we as fans can really do to affect the outcome. By the way, where the hell was everybody? Typing on your keyboards?
I never got that bus ticket you didn't send me...
and the french au pair I had arranged for my kids got stuck in customs. So yeah, I was at home in the desert and not at the Super Dome. Sorry mate.
Tough game...
but we had a pretty good season. We finally started to run the ball on offense. We had some good games on defense, but ultimately the defense let us down for a second consecutive season. We got no pressure on Brees and our backside couldn’t cover. The injuries hurt, but I’m not convinced it would have mattered against that team.
Silver lining for me was watching Toler. I think if he has a good off season he’ll convince the coaching staff that he’s ready to start next year. He has to be an upgrade over McFadden.
Congrats to any Saints fans that are checking in here. You guys played a great game and I’ll be rooting for you from here on out.
I'd like to see Toler start next year too.
He looks like he has a lot of the skills that DRC has.
