Comments from the other side - 9/16 - Cardinals

Now I know what FL feels like doing this for CelticsLife when the C's lose. This was kind of tough to go through. Sorry it's a day late but perhaps everyone is over the loss a bit to look through these. Cardinals fans seem to be split down the middle on Skelton and Kolb, and no one seemed that impressed with Kolb. However, they are very proud of their defense. Overall, the Arizona fans didn't seem to expect to win this one until the third quarter. A surprising loss for New England, but its just one game. The Patriots will still be around in January. Anyway, here they are, comments from the other side


Fast start critical...keep NE off of board initially, build up doubts and get an early lead...we can do it!!!

Batiste is gonna get Kolb killed.

Moving the ball. Whose offense is this?

Got to get TD. Field goals wont win this game

Cards now destroying the Patriots, 3-0.

Brady not so lucky. Yeah!

Loving this so far!!!!

Wow, you really have to score TD's in opportunities like this to beat teams like the Pats.

Kolb looked fantastic throwing the ball into empty space there.

Same old cardinals..never capitalizing.

Cardinals up 6. hernandez goes down. We can win this game

Ouch, poor Hernandez. That looked very, very painful. His ankle twisted in a very unnatural angle. =(

Right now I'm laughing at Skelly crowd, crying over what Kolb does (which is no different than Skelly). This is fun

Good D all the way down the field. A bunch of short runs, a good play on the WR screen to Floyd for 2 yards, good play on the one to Edelman, good D twice on third there to get off the field. The Pats faced a lot of 3rd...3rd and 4, 6, 8*, and 3.

Heap might be the slowest TE in the league. The guy looks like he is moving in mud.

Peterson is so ******* good

Hehe wow, Peterson has Lloyd locked up. Atta boy P21!

Cards are giving me hope!

Agreed. I want to see Kolb hitting those two throws in the red zone, but anyone complaining right now needs to have their head examined. Defense is playing strong and Kolb is managing the offense. We should be so lucky every week.

Must have better run blocking. RW is paying like he is star struck.

Rookie Chandler Jones DOMINATING Batiste.

2nd 3 and out. Its only a matter of time before they get a TD. We need a TD

Gotta chip block Chandler Jones, he is putting a whooping on Batiste. I'm glad Kolb is protecting the ball, it's still early, no need to force anything.

Cards, want to learn run blocking? Watch what the Patriots are doing to you right now.

You run a QB sneak with a guy who is concussion prone!!!! Wow!

we need to capitalize on this slow patriots offense right now.

Its more than a moral victory. Our defense is proving they should be respected and feared. Which one the talking heads would of ever thought the Cards could limit Brady?

Fumble by Kolb. Sigh.

ACHO baby!

surprised no roughing the passer call lol

Hehe the NFL ref is a Cardinals fan.

If the defense can do that and keep smashing Brady in the mouth, then eventually the NFL has to break and accept the cards have some elite D.

D is owning Brady right now!!! Way to step up!!

It all looks to be coming together, Horton's crew doing the heavy lifting.

Oline gretting trucked by linebackers now. Horrible, Kolb is getting happy feet now.

damn someone put dockett on the terrorist watch list, he just blew up that lineman.

I love hearing the NE fans boo.

Their fans actually don't stand for mediocrity like our fans do.

That is just flat out getting lucky on the Gronk drop. But we will take it.

Ding ding ding! Can you imagine Patriot fans if they had an OL coach like Grimm putting up garbage for five years? Grimm would need a Paul Revereesque lookout to warn him that "the Patriot fans are coming!" to save his bacon.

I'm not calling a guy laying out and missing a pass of his fingertips a drop at all. Ball was overthrown, but yeah.. you guys got lucky on that. He burned Wilson.

The Cards hold brady to no TD and the talking heads says its a boring game? No respect

If this ends up a 12-9 Pats victory with a game-winning drive and Gostkowski kicking the game winner with no time left, watch for the "Horton sucks" posts. I guarantee it will happen. Which is probably the biggest reason I can never quit this board during the season, the comedy value alone is priceless.

Halftime Observations:

1) Of course, DEFENSE is playing great
2) SCREEN PASS -- used it once to LSH and got a first down, please slow down Chandler Jones with some screen/draws to his side
3) SEAM PASS -- how many times is Kolb going to overthrow TD's to the tight end; Last yr he missed Housler 2x and today he overthrew Heap for each "pitch-and-catch" TD's
4) Why are we not chipping at Chandler Jones with an extra blocker ??

Good hold by the D there. We need to score some touchdowns. I don't trust Jay Feely in a close game.

Offense keeps stalling out. Dropped passes, too much pressure, or loss of yards. Not good.

Why the hell wont they do a no huddle?

We are lucky. That the only way we can win

That blocked kick is why you play conservative until the end of the game. Wait for someone to make a play. The special teams just did.

4 down territory here, if we can't score from the 2 we should just pack it in.

Good job by the Patriots corner? Really? It was a crappy throw, plain and simple.

YES! Take advantage of situations.

Wow Just Wow. This Team!! Eating My Crows!

Love it, but we need to remember which qb were playing against

That was going to be a throwback to Brady...DD blows it up.

Cardinals. Defense. Elite.

I love the look on Bills face, the one of the Cards are out playing us.

Kolb is lookin pretty good. Making smart decisions, stepping up in the pocket, throwing away when needed.

I'm damned proud of this club right now.

Looked good to me. The refs better call it right. NE wasting a time out is awesome. Hope that comes back to bite them in the ***.

TouchDown!!!!!!! Sticking it to NE on the road is huge

Awfully quiet in New England. And I love it!!!

Wow that looked like a great catch. We're gonna lose a timeout.

Brady's receivers are letting him down today.

Gostkowski is OK, then. 4fg so far, 2 from over 50 yds.

Pressure, pressure, pressure, you can't let pretty boy sit back and throw the ball.

Pats are in "crap, we're losing to the Cardinals" mode.

And the defense holds, now it's time to run out the clock.

Great job on the Two Point Conversion!

We're gonna run run, run. just hope it can get a first down.

Baring a fumble, we're going to win it. Awesome!

What a bunch of cowrads the pats fans are. You're only down 2 and Brady will likely get the ball with about 30 seconds left.....and you're leaving?!

Aw **** it, it had to happen. Whis failed again, just take a ******* knee, Whis, you ******* *******.

Really? I can't believe this. wow

Cut Ryan Williams. He's a *****.

**** you ryan williams.

Should have just taken a knee and punted. Pathetic.

Wide left!!!!

Holy cow. Never saw that coming.

We can take Williams off of suicide watch.

Cowboys, Raiders, and now the Patriots. We beat them all because they couldn't make a last second field goal. Wow.

Nice game Cards. D played well for most of the game. You guys tried really hard to blow it in the end but got the favor on that shank. Grats.

Overall, we deserved that one. But I can't take 16 weeks of this. I can't.

Our defense DESERVED this win.

Can't help but laugh at those coward Pats fans who left...came back....and saw Gostkowski shank it. Serves them right.

Ryan Williams however......just solidified himself as a waste of a draft pick considering our other needs at the time of the draft.
