That was rough.... Horrible start for the Cardinals, then they rally to come within a score of beating the Bengals, but they could not get that score after Early Doucet fell down. Horrible way to lose.
And now, here are some highlights from the gamethread.
Also, I am going to post less comments in here than I normally do because I am having issues copying anything into here using visual view mode. Everything goes directly to the top of the page instead of the area I copy it into, which is normally the bottom of the page with these. Just doing less because I already spend too much time on these things, I don't want to double how long it takes until everything is fixed.
Here is the roll call to start this thing off again

the Palmer rule, or the Brady rule, can't remember which one....
"Well, I liked how our guys got after it during practice this week. I thought we came out with good intensity. But then, we made a few mistakes and you can't do that and be a good football club. We'll look at the film and learn from our mistakes and get ready for this weekend." Whiz after any game.....

I thought it was the Manning rule?

Well I hope you all liked the TD cause we're giong to be seeing it for the rest of the season

I could watch it for the rest of the season in fairness

It's sort of like the Santonio Holmes TD for me
It’s an amazing TD, but I’m going to hate seeing it for a long, long time.
Joe Saunders: "They played a really good game, so hats off to us"

Just like the Santonio TD
those two will be played over an over again. And both of those ended our seasons

So...
Is anyone still watching this game?
by KholdStare88 on Dec 24, 2011 12:48 PM MST reply actions 1 recs

I turned it off at the end of the 1st Half
But of course I’m back.
Joe Saunders: "They played a really good game, so hats off to us"
yup
"Well, I liked how our guys got after it during practice this week. I thought we came out with good intensity. But then, we made a few mistakes and you can't do that and be a good football club.

…and I’m getting back to levelling up very very soon, it looks like.

Skelton was a good QB...
But then he took an arrow to the knee…

I'm getting sick of sports leagues screwing us over
Roger Godell and the NFL Referees Union can go screw themselves.

you literally can't play defense anymore
just change it to flag football

Still, 20-0 and a frontflip TD cant be overcome by a reversed call.

So, what's the most likely scenario where we win this game?

CARDINALS FOOTBALL!
So typical.

how in the world have u been following this team since 77 and not died yet?

I actually had to stop watching football altogether for a few years in the mid 2000's
I started again when the Giants won the SB. I hate those guys so much.

I'm thinking of buying a Doucet jersey
Throwing it on the freeway, dousing it in gasoline, burning it, taking the ashes, and feeding it to my dog. But I don’t want to do that to my dog.

We lost, and we deserved it
Skelton was awful. I don’t care that he almost brought us back. His playing screwed us, and his decision at the end of the game screwed us even more.

All in all
We have a lot of reason to hope for the future. The defense is young and can easily be a Top 5 defense next season. We’ll see how the QB situation comes around, but I think with a full off-season, Kolb and Skelton will be a lot, lot better. Hopefully Haley returns, but if not, we’ll see where that takes us. And Coach Whiz is our coach for the future.
Good job by the Cardinals. We really have to credit them for a lot. I would’ve given up and gone to the locker room after halftime.
