NFL Preseason Week 3: Arizona Cardinals/San Diego Chargers Open Thread (Cont)
It is now Halftime and the Cardinals have a 24-17 lead over the Chargers. Kevin Kolb is having a good game going 8 of 16 for 166 yards including an 80 yard bomb to Larry Fitzgerald. Patrick Peterson also returned an Interception for a Touchdown, and Andre Roberts had a 34 yard Touchdown run on a reverse. The Defense started off well too, but Phillip Rivers and the Chargers offense started to get it together in the second quarter.
Kolb played two series against Oakland and three against Green Bay. The offense improved from one game to the next. Hopefully that can continue. We will get to see him work the two-minute offense at some point.
We will also get the treat (?) to see Brodie Croyle in action, now that John Skelton is out because of his sprained ankle and Max Hall is on injured reserve after clearing waivers.
For the second week in a row, the defense will get to show what it is made of against one of the NFL's best offenses.
Join in on the thread and enjoy the rest of the game...Some reminders...

Have to agree
Against a more “polished” team we are holding our own.

A great stat is that we only have two penalties
we are showing some good discipline which has lead to great play on both o and d

Great 1st half by the Cards --- the D needs to step up on 3rd downs and the runs up the middle.
Carter has looked good even though he’s undersized at NT.
"The point is, by my standards, I won fair and square."

Kolb should be playing in the 3rd right? That's what I read yesterday at least.

By the way, I bet Matt still wants to play as a starter
But going to a new team with this shortened offseason isn’t really a good situation. Bet that was part of it for him too. Learn behind Schaub and hope he gets to play, then see if any team will give him an offer when his contract runs out.
Just my guess of what he wants to do.

QB Completion %
Even though I hear he’s playing well, I really would like to see Kolb get past a 60% completion percentage. Did it even happen with a Cardinals QB in 2010?
I think skelton was the closest with like a 59 or something

It won’t count in the record book, but @LarryFitzgerald ’s 80-yard TD is longest catch of career, beating 78-yarder in NE 12/21/08.

it was a great game . Our offense made some plays showed consistency and showed chemistry. Our defense put some pressure on rivers made some good plays like the pick six. I enjoyed the commentators and their analysis. So it was a great game and i am looking forward to the season. With that said GO CARDS!!
