Cardinals Game Discussion

[Joemailman]

Tyrann Mathieu out for season with torn ACL. Hurt it last night on an interception where thwere was no contact. ACL's can be weird things. Just ask Jordy.

Going back to last year, Cardinals are 18-2 with Carson Palmer in the lineup.

Packers last visit to Arizona was the 51-45 playoff game. The week before Packers beat them there 33-7 with Arizona resting starters.

We need to find Kimo von Oelhoffen and get him suited up.

[Rutnstrut]

I just don't see the Packers beating the Cards playing at the level they are.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Thier secondary won't be as good without the Honey Badger, maybe we catch a backup safety who is terrible for game.

But this is one hell of a tough hill to climb.

You're awful. "Carson Palmer is down and withering in pain"

^ Yeah I know. I am just getting used to this defense with sputtering offense thing. I also now feel a kinship with Giants fans as well as Bears fans. This is just terrible.

Cheer up. Last time the Packers defense ranked higher than the Packers offense was 2010.

It also happened in 1996.

The upcoming game will tell us a lot about the defense.

To a degree, this captures some of Rodgers frustration and the inconsistency of the offense. ALEX is named after Alex Smith and his habit of checking down below the first down marker no matter the distance to a first down. So ALEX the ranking measures how much further PAST the first down line the QB throws the ball. Rodgers is usually one of the League leaders with the bombs in short yardage situation. His success rate is normally the highest too. This year has been a catastrophe though, in both short AND (to a lesser degree) long yardage. Which typifies this offense, its inability to sustain a drive or find receivers the QB is capable of connecting with. He is best with the medium stuff this year.

ari lost their best db for the season today...acl.

[hoosier]

Mathieu isn't their best db. It's a loss, yes, but not their best.

[red]

This is a game we should lose with the way we've been playing

So I totally expect a packer blow out, just to confuse us even more

[yetisnowman]

Mathieu isn't their best db. It's a loss, yes, but not their best.

While Peterson is an elite cover corner.,honey badger was the heartbeat of that defense. By far their most versatile player .Best is subjective, but you could argue he is their most important player on defense.

[Bretsky]

This game either renews our hope of gashes it completely.

Three hours after game time most of the state will either be walking on water or hopelessly looking toward the draft if we get manhandled.
