No win for the cards. Beanie, while solid when healthy, just can not be counted on for 16 games a year. Losing Williams in the preseason really hurt big time. Our back ups were absolute scrubs, especially Chester Taylor. I think with beanie we win this game by at least a touchdown. Very disappointed with that performance yesterday. We need a true #2 receiver in the worst way...Guess we have to wait for the young guys to develop...But bottom line, no running game was the reason for that loss yesterday for sure.
Outcoached offensively. 1) In many cases, Seattle knew exactly what the Cards were doing offensively, combined with, 2) Off Coord. running the ball in the middle (between tackles)over and over. Not sure why when going off tackle (not wide) was more successful. The 3 yrd per carry for Smith is attributed to this combo of factors, not ability. He played well. Seattle owned the middle. Kolb looked like a rookie. Long kicks in a storm in Seattle? Dumb! Trick play on late kick return? Poor timing! Defense looked much better. Kuddos to the DL and CBs. OLBs a tad better, still a liability.
He looked extremely uncomfortable in the pocket...very deissapointed in his pocket presence even in the lucky copletion to Fitz in the endzone...Kolb was running around in a useless circle before he needed to. He did this the whole game, even runing right into the sack or pressure. Kolb needs to settle down.
..we've heard them all considering we have lost 6 straight to division foes. There's no DA, Max Hall or ML to blame now...you got the support from ownership for all the offseason spending. You supposedly have your hand picked OC and DC...what will the excuses be today?
Brown is the biggest liability on offense. I watched a couple plays where he completely forgot to block. HUh? Needless to say, but I will, he wasn't great on plays he remembered to block. Good luck with that Kolb. On obvious run downs, the Cards came to the line showing run, then ran it to the strength of Sea defense? Huh? I say this because, I was telling my wife what the Cards were going to do before the snap. The wife thought I was a genious. Little did she know, I am not, just so freaking obvious what the offense is doing. To the Cards org: 'C'mon Man!'
