That's game folks.
[/quote]yup, the sad thing is we would have had like 35 points by now

[JO_75]

Unless somehow they start to make a comeback, like Patrick Peterson returning the Kickoff for a TD or they somehow give Kolb enough time to find Fitzgerald, this game is over.

[JO_75]

Holy cow, another scary hit leading to another player being laid out.

[Cville-Raven]

I mean they have plenty of time, but they need to score on this drive.

[Cville-Raven]

yea about the drive............

[JO_75]

1st & Goal for the Cardinals.

[Cville-Raven]

How they have moved down the field is blasphemous

[wikle]

they need 7 here for sure

Don't know how but they seem to come to life in the fourth quarter. If they complete a comeback, it's going to be a miracle.

[1/28/01]

What a horrible play call. 4th and goal on the 6 and lets play a short route... ha, wow!

[JO_75]

Don't understand that play call at all. If they were going to throw it to Fitz, why not make sure he is in the end zone first. Horrible play calling accompanied by horrible play by Kevin Kolb will drop the Cardinals to 4-1.

[ravensdfan]

One undefeated team down: 2 more to go.

[Cville-Raven]

LOL a Quick Slant for about a 4 yard gain. Yeah had a feeling this Cardinals team was apretender. Well at least they have a head start towards a 8-8 season.

[JO_75]

Wow, 93 games under .500 for the Rams and it seems that streak may end tonight.

[ravensdfan]

They'll bring it on this punt I imagine. Ram's better be ready.

[JO_75]

Why would Jeff Fisher take the timeout and why is Arizona not using any of their three timeouts to stop the clock?

[wikle]

good return, but this game is still over. the cardinals have no offense. you can't win in special teams and defense anymore

[JO_75]

Cortland Finnegan arguing he didn't do nothing wrong lol. Obvious cheap shot.

[ravensdfan]

Wow. And we wanted these refs back?

The ball has to be able to be caught for PI and he pushed him, didn't hold him.

[HaX]

they've got a small chance if their defense can hold up

[JO_75]

That was an illegal hit on a defenseless receiver if I ever seen it.

[ravensdfan]

Kolb isn't going to be able to move tomorrow. He'll be one big bruise.

[/quote]not enough time, their offense can't take advantage of opportunities

[JO_75]

Trumaine Johnson got away with holding in the end zone, again we wanted these officials back for them to make bad calls?

[wikle]

done, nice try cardinals but you have a lot to work on

[ravensdfan]

No. He does not fit any NFL definition of a defenseless receiver:

Players in a defenseless posture are:
(1) A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass;
(2) A receiver attempting to catch a pass; or who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a runner. If the receiver/runner is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending contact of an opponent, he is no longer a defenseless player;
(3) A runner already in the grasp of a tackler and whose forward progress has been stopped;
(4) A kickoff or punt returner attempting to field a kick in the air;
(5) A player on the ground at the end of a play;
(6) A kicker/punter during the kick or during the return;
(7) A quarterback at any time after a change of possession, and
(8) A player who receives a “blindside” block when the blocker is moving toward his own endline and approaches the opponent from behind or from the side.

[ravensdfan]

These officials make calls pretty much as bad as the replacement referees. Where they are better is at the actual game management stuff.

# 2 fits the hit on Fitzgerald who had no time to protect himself or brace for the hit.

The plethora of missed holding and PI calls beg otherwise!
