The Arizona Cardinals added another "W" to their win column on Sunday, defeating the New Orleans Saints in a stunning victory. A week after a 41-10 thrashing at the hands of the San Diego Chargers, the Cardinals turned around their woes and outscored the defending champs by ten.
Rookie quarterback Max Hall started in the first game of his career, completing 17 of 27 passes for 168 yards and an interception. Hall led the Cardinals offense on their first scoring drive in two games, albeit off of a fumble that led to a Levi Brown touchdown. Hall's play sparked the Cardinals offense and apparently the defense as well.
Allowing nearly 30 points per game, the defense forced four New Orleans' turnovers and took Drew Brees out of the game. They also scored 14 of their own points, including the game-clinching interception return for a touchdown by cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
Five weeks into the season, we can finally say the Cardinals didn't play in an ugly game -- win or loss. The Cardinals lone turnover of the game came early off of Hall's interception. Hall fumbled the ball twice -- both resulting in positive plays for the offense. They also drastically lowered their penalties, only committing 3 all game.
Nabbing a win over the Saints feels good, especially after last season's playoff loss and the poor start to this season. What feels better is the play of Max Hall. He gives the Cardinals and the fans something to look forward to this season and the future. With the Rams falling earlier Sunday, the Cardinals now sit alone at first place in the NFC West. What are your thoughts on the game?

Good fortune rules.
Win in Seattle in two weeks.
Go Eagles, Raiders, Bears and Chargers. (tonight and next week)
RIP Seasons of Discontent
God's smile
I guess if you are a Saint’s fan, this was quite an ugly win for Arizona. You must keep in mind that no points were scored by Max Hall. Nine points were scored by our Field Goal Unit, fourteen points by the Defense and another seven points were set up by the Defense on a turnover at the Saint’s 5 yard line where Hall fumbled the ball on the 2 yard line and a Cardinal player was lucky enough to advance the live ball into the end zone.
If you are an Arizona fan, as I am, it could be called an amusing win. For some reason, God keeps smiling down on the Cardinals and has allowed three wins when our offense has produced very little.
Having said that, many good things occurred to give us Red Bird fans renewed hope for a possible playoff run. 1) The Defense proved that they can keep us in a game, if they do not have to score all the points as well as defend. 2) Max Hall has a bigger heart than his size would indicate. 3) Our rookie QB survived his baptism by fire. 4) Our Field Goal Unit is reliable. 5) Hall has touch and accuracy. 6) Max finally learned to avoid a sack by throwing the ball away. 7) Hall got his bell rung and his body mangled enough to realize that it hurts and the ball gets dislodged, which are both bad things. 8) Anderson is definitely an adequate back-up QB. 9) Max Hall was given the same play from the sidelines on his first drive of the game that Dereck Anderson received on his first drive against the Chargers, both times the result was an interception (the lesson here is to know when to check off at the line of scrimmage to sustain the drive and don’t get greedy). 10) Mr. Hall must have figured out that he is one of the smallest guys on the field and should study other great QBs that were small in stature (i.e. Fran Tarkington) to figure out how to survive among the “big oaks” using talents unique to him. 11) The coaching staff accepted complicity in the poor play of the Cards.
I am pleased that there is a glimmer of light at the end of this tunnel. I hope it’s the other end and not a freight train bearing down on our team. We shall see, starting with Seattle.
This is the first game, this season, that I can accept as “a win is a win” and feel good about it.

Can't agree with point #8.
Anderson threw two passes and one of them knocked a receiver out of the game because it was too high.
Max played well enough to keep us in the game. His mistakes didn’t hurt much but they could have (two fumbles). 9 points from the offense, not counting the drive from within the five, isn’t impressive but completing 63% of his passes is a hell of a lot better than we got out of Anderson. They can build a game plan around Hall. Still a lot to clean up but I agree, this is the first win we can feel good about.
Not good
I did not say he was a good backup, only adequate. He did not turn the ball over and was able to fill in long enough for the starter to return.
I also feel that A.D. probably was very nervous about handling the ball and was pressing himself not to make a huge mistake. In the words of Tommy Chong, when told he must not use foul language said, “I hope I don’t fuck up!”
When Anderson settles into his new role, he (hopefully) will improve markedly.

Offense?
I, personally, do not view the Field Goal Unit as part of the Offense but rather Special Teams. The Offense stalled, but gave the F.G.U. opportunities and they converted for nine points.
My opinion.

This win wasn't even against a bad-decent team
This was against the defending Superbowl Champion Saints, which is why this win is so much better.
Max Hall made a few errors, but that’s expected from a rookie. He showed great accuracy at times, he made huge throws at other times. Also, his tougheness was incredible. I don’t think anyone else could’ve taken hits like that. He’s definitely won his team’s respect, my respect, and the fan’s respect.
They’ve all got two weeks to rest up. I’m excited about Max Hall’s accuracy and what he brings to the team, and I’m excited that the defense finally stepped up. Great win tonight! Let’s keep it up!

RBs/WRs
I feel it is easier to replace receivers with an accurate QB as long as one of your veteran starters continues to play, than it is RBs. The rushers are a breed apart.
In looking over the N.O. injury list, it eclipsed ours by at least double, which goes to overall depth.
Again, my opinion.

He managed the game well
threw a pick early on, but settled down. Made a couple of key throws to Fitz (one in particular was very impressive into double coverage – if that was Anderson it would’ve been pick city). He took some hits he probably shouldn’t have….a couple of times he was sacked when he probably should’ve taken off or thrown it away. He tried to scramble in from the 5 and got smacked, ball came out but Levi Brown scooped it up for a recovery in the endzone….
For a first effort, he managed the game extremely well and put them in a position to win the game. The D came up big, also!!!!
I don't know if anybody remembers me writing this
But I called it!

hey thats my line
I picked them in Yahoo Pick Em. I also said I thought they’d play their best game of the year and was expecting a win. I was just telling my wife the other day how absurd it was to actually expect Max Hall, given his circumstances, to waltz in and lead the team to victory, but that I did.
I was certain Hall had a concussion and a torn ligament. that he stayed in there says a lot. guess what naysayers? Cardinals are still the best team in the NFC West.

Thought he had a concussion also.
That was a pretty good shot to the noggin, he had that blank stare on the sidelines afterwards

That's not when he came out.
Didn’t need to after scoring. Besides they took forever to review the play.
Yeah, that's when he came out
Hall got blown up on the Brown TD, got helped/carried off by Fitz. Saints marched down the field, kicked a FG with about a minute left. DA came in for a garbage drive where we ran the clock out. Hall stayed on the sidelines after the hit. Sat on the benches talking with coaches until half. Would have been nice to make an announcement and give the fans @ UoP an idea of Hall’s status. Watching the hit you’d think he got knocked out. Glad he was under center coming back from the half

They stacked up against the run and dared Max Hall to throw it.
Max Hall was a little better than they expected. 63% completion rate. Some nice throws. Made some bad ones too and one terrible read throwing to Fitz in double coverage on the first drive that was intercepted.
Expect a few of those.
On the whole glad he’s our starter!

Unbiased?
Half way through the second quarter Kurt slipped and said “we” in referring to the Cards. Half way through the fourth quarter he bagan using the term “we” unabashidly. He seemed to have pride in the fact that Arizona showed up to play.

by Arizona Retiree on Oct 11, 2010 10:06 AM MDT up reply actions
Even so
He was not afraid to criticize the Cardinals when they deserved it. He didn’t lavish them with praise for every little achievement. He didn’t brush over the Saints in any way. I guess my basis for comparison being Troy Aikman may have skewed my opinion but I thought overall he was pretty damn good. Warner hasn’t been out of football but for a few months now. I’m really not shocked that he would slip into saying we when covering the team he led.
i noticed he mainly talked about the team that was on offense
makes sense since he was a qb, probably helped him remain fairly unbiased throughout the game as well
by cardsfanforlife24 on Oct 11, 2010 8:51 PM MDT up reply actions
What kind of game was it?
Did the Cards beat the Saints?
or
Did the Saints beat the Saints?
Remember know matter where you go in life...There you are.
A little of both
Max Hall played good for a rookie, and the way he looked, I’m for once confident of our QB situation.
There are two ways to look at it. You could look at it as Drew Brees messed up or the Cards D stepped up. I’ll take option two.
The Cards defense came up big repeatedly.
The spin will be whatever fits the prevailing bias. We got 21 points off of turnovers. Blame Brees or credited the Cardinals. Who cares? We won.
speaking of bias
Tony Dungy said “no way the Saints should have lost” this game, implying the Cards suck. Then Rodney Harrison said about the Saints “when you are playing a bad team…”
I mean, I’ll admit this is the first well played Cardinals game this season, but give them credit for playing well today, and also give them the benefit of the doubt for what they’ve done the past couple of season…I guess Rodney just can’t shake giving cheap shots
http://www.reverbnation.com/chrisfarmer
Understandible
Dungy and Harrison have not suffered along with us Cards fans with each terrible outing in the previous four weeks. Knowing, as we do, that Arizona is talented but disjointed. When the pieces came together for the Defense it was a surprise to outsiders. When the Offense shows signs that it is on the verge of comming together it is also surprising to outsiders.

For some reason, Kurt Warner's voice reminds me of Mark Grace's voice
It’s really nice to listen to, in my opinion. No clue why.
I was reading the Fieldgulls gameday thread
They all think our 3-2 record is a fluke. Max Hall, silence them next next week.
It's an understandable viewpoint.
We’ve won ugly. Even today. Our lone offensive touchdown was a fumble recovery on a broken play. Our two losses were colossal blow outs. There was some ridicule for those of us who claimed we’d be 3-2 at this point in the season as far back as when the schedule was released. Why wouldn’t they think it’s a fluke? All the better for us. I like it when the Cardinals are discounted. It’s when they are the most dangerous.
Easy does it
The Cards, being defending NFC West Champs, have a relatively soft schedule by NFL standards and should be at 3-2. The problem is that the way we have played, Arizona could well be1-4 or 0-5. Thank goodness for our defensive scoring and opposing teams gifting games to us.

Hall of a game!
The defense really stepped up, especially in the 2nd half.
There were a few drives that we couldn’t stop the run in the 1st half. Whatever adjustments Bill Davis made at halftime worked…big time.
Hall made a number of big plays. He hit Fitz with a few nice throws to move the chains. He didn’t throw into coverage at all after the pick. (Learns from his mistakes)..a sign of progress.
Warner was great in booth. Fair and knowledgeable. And he also referred to the Cards as “WE” a few times. (although that wont bode well with the brass for national consideration).

Impressed by Hall
The stat line doesn’t look like much (although the 60+% completion rate is a breath of fresh air after DA), but I thought Hall played well.
The Saints took out the “rookie playbook” on D and stuffed the box to force Hall to beat them through the air. He took some sacks but burned the blitzes several times with good throws, including 25 and 26 yards to Fitz. Going toe to toe with the Super Bowl champs and not flinching is great from a mental standpoint as well.
We still don’t exactly what Hall can do but I’m excited to see him against the Seahawks D in two weeks.
The Positives.
We won. Cards are 3-2 and got there winning against the super bowl champions in a game they were supposed to lose.
Max Hall did provide the spark. He played with guts and determination. Made some great passes. Completed 17 of 27 (63%) seven going to Fitz for 93 yards.
The offensive line actually did a decent job protecting Hall most of the time.
Bill Davis came up with a winning game plan for once. The defense made some incredible plays. 21 points off of turnovers.
The negatives.
Max Hall put the ball on the ground twice. If you’re going to run with it kid, protect the ball. I’m sure Whis chewed him out for being reckless. Also made that terrible decision to throw to Fitz in double coverage.
Still suck on third down. (26%)
The run game was stuffed. 1.7 yards per carry is a joke. We’re supposed to be good at this.
The defense still couldn’t stop the run. Saints only had 85 yards rushing but that was more about their style of offense than our ability to stop them.
Not that you want to be a buzz kill or anything, LOL

Overall great game.
Good Things:
-Defense
-Pass Coverage (nice deflections, interceptions)
-Penalties (still had some, but much improved)
Bad Things:
-Three sacks for 21 yards loss (emphasized by Hall being shaken up several times). Some of this may be Hall’s fault and the OL is a bit better, but those 21 yards hurt.
-Four fumbles. This again? At least we didn’t lose any of them, but still…
-Running game really sucked. Well, not sure what happened here, but can’t have everything.
Overall:
-Putting everything into perspective, Hall is mostly responsible for only 3 field goals. But that’s still good since he managed to move the ball down the field better than DA (not much of a compliment) and connected well (no INTs) after he got into his groove. It was a good first game for a rookie, and I can see him improve later on.
If Max Hall did this good today
Imagine how he can do once Steve Breaston and Early Doucet are back and playing alongside Larry Fitzgerald!
How did Halls arm look?
Is he capable of the long bomb?
Remember know matter where you go in life...There you are.
He threw a long pass to Fitz in I think the 2nd Quarter
Fitz grabbed it but then dropped it. But I, along with the crowd, think that was because Fitz was fouled.
His accuracy is still his greatest skill.
That was textbook pass interference.
The official just couldn’t see it. If the DB hadn’t snatched Fitz’s left arm away it would have been a catch.
He ain't got a rocket.
But he can throw it to a spot. Something DA couldn’t. Some nice touch passes today. I don’t see many long bombs from him but he can get it out there. Just not his forte.
+1
I’m expecting the offense with Hall to be similar to what Warner did last year, but with more runs.

Lets just hope the run game gets going
Or its going to be the same pass first offense
Just hopeing we had a mini Brees as our leader
Remember know matter where you go in life...There you are.
Too early to say but so far, so good.
One thing is for sure. There is no longer any question of his toughness. He took some big shots. Especially on his scramble that resulted in the TD for Levi Brown.
I still can't understand how he stayed in the game
If that’s the kind of toughness he has, then I’m just even more optimistic.
When his helmet
came off, I thought it was his head rolling around the turf
13- Warner, 23- Sandberg, 40- Tillman, 11- Walter
Defense gets the win for Hall
I liked what I saw out of our defense as they forced three turnovers, two of which resulted in touchdowns. I can’t say that I’m comfortable with Hall being our starting quarterback yet. The Cardinals didn’t get one rushing or passing touchdown this week. Their defense isn’t going to always be able to score for them and the offense isn’t always going to recover most of their fumbles like today, so they have to do a better job of taking care of the football.
He's still a rookie
Although he made some rookie mistakes, he did good. I’m confident he’ll learn. He’s got two weeks to practice, learn, practice, and learn.
I’m looking forward to seeing what Max Hall and the offense can do against the Seahawks.
Anyone watching the Sunday Night game?

these guys deserve it...
so cocky on every play they make…..go pose in the mirror…you guys are 0-5
Can only imagine theyre pissed. Makes me that much happier
Should make for some good comical reading
The 49ers blew so many chances too.

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team(s), throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.
Officiating was questionable at best
I’ve never seen so many referee huddles to try to get the call right. Why wasn’t the Fitz drop near the endzone booth reviewed? I guess poor officiating is something you’ve got to come to expect
lol.....
great day…a huge win, and then the Rams and whiners lose…..
Even though they're a much hated division rivals
I can’t help but feel sorry for Alex Smith, he played like his career was on the line. It’s so sad no to see him at least tie it. What a horrible ending it must be for him.
I'll be honest
I almost felt bad for him during the “We want Carr” chants.

Wow did the fans actually cheer that?
Sad

lets be honest
Smith had more chances than Leinart. And if Smith was playing for the cards, he would have been cut after day one of OTA’s.
The guy has been given nothing but chances, and to still see him in an NFL uniform, after he repeatedly FUCKS it up, is quite pathetic to be honest with you. How the Niners were even picked to win the division with that guy behind center, is totally beyond.
screw the seahawks
screw the rams
screw the whiners

I don't see how Leinart figures into the shouting match between Singletary and Smith.
Carr was about to step into the game and Singletary changed his mind. It was pretty obvious that he was giving Smith an ultimatum. Score a couple touchdowns or you’re done. The camera was all over their exchange. In the end it wasn’t enough anyway.
if you watched Singletary's post game conference..
he pretty much said as much. He was asked if he was going to be make a change at QB, and first he said he’d watch the tape, then he said something to the extent, ‘its possible.’
Don't weep for me,--- San--Fran--Cisco.
Was it just me or did it look like Alex Smith wanted to cry when Singletary was chewing him out and asking him questions on the sideline?

Yep you know theyre probably gonna start winning soon
But until then…………..SUCK IT WHINERS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still very talented
but they seem to have the concept of giving games away down to a science. People can bitch about our ugly wins all they want, but at the end of the season when they’re being counted up they all look the same.
Max Hall
I understand that Max Hall went to Morman Tech, I haven’t followed college ball for years, but isn’ he the QB who was disaster for OU a number of years ago?
On his wiki it says he red shirted at ASU in 2004, went on his Mormon mission and then transferred to BYU in 2006. So I don’t believe he has a history at any other college.

BYU
Yeah, he went to BYU and set a few QB win records there, and yes, beat highly ranked OU and Bradford.

With a beautiful 16 play drive to get the game winning TD.

Wow, Saints fans melting down at CSC.
Believe it or not some are calling for Brees to be benched. LOL.
People who watched the game
Tell me, did the Saints stack the box against Beanie, or did he really have that bad of a day? I was ecstatic to see 20 carried for him, but the YPC was abysmal.
Bring back the Baltimore Chop!
They stacked it.
Tried to force the game onto the shoulders of a rookie QB. If we had Breaston and Doucet out there with Fitz instead of a pack of rookies I think Hall would have really torn them up.
may have been stacked but Beanie went down way too easy
I saw ONE run where he was keeping his legs moving after contact. as ineffective as he was, I was wondering why Hightower didn’t get more of shot, at least in the form of more screen opps.

they basically dared Hall to throw on them
I remember one play, you could see Larry with one on one coverage. To his credit, Hall saw it, and threw it out for Larry to get…..
Wolfley on the radio broadcast
Was pointing out when they were stacking the box with 8 or more, and it seemed like it was a good more than half the time, obvious passing situations aside.
some things I forgot to mention while celebrating
ANDRE ROBERTS – finally made his presence known.
GREG TOLER- is playing better than DRC so far this year
DRC- aside from the nice INT to seal it, is still getting beat regularly
MICHAEL ADAMS- aside from getting beat for the TD played a helluva game
http://www.reverbnation.com/chrisfarmer
secondary looked better
I thought they did a pretty good job with this. Toler continues to get better and overall, I was pleased. DRC made some good plays as well. I thought Johnson made a couple of plays, too.
Playing coverage instead of blitzing all the time
showed that our defensive problems are not with the secondary.

Anyone watch ESPN this morning
They were talking about Jed York’s little claim, and Hannah “Sausage Casing” Storm was talking about how the team that wins this division could be 7-9….
They also waited until 40 minutes after SportsCenter started to talk about this game, but the Cowboys losing was the first thing they showed…

I'd think that the Saints losing would be a big story on there.
And on NFL Live just now, the Cowboys losing was the first thing they showed, followed by the Saints losing to us.
