The Arizona Cardinals just didn’t look like they wanted to play a football game today, and it showed.  Matt Leinart completed 14 of 35 passes for 157 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT.  Edgerrin James carried the ball 24 times for 84 yards (3.5 ypc) and a TD, he also caught 3 passes for 25 yards.  WR Troy Walters caught 5 passes for 54 yards and a TD.  Anquan Boldin caught 4 passes for 47 yards.

The defense got absolutely brutalized by the Packers offense.  The Packers ran the ball 39 times for 203 yards (5.2 ypc).  The Pack completed 17 of 25 passes for 180 net yards passing.

It looks like this team is quitting on Dennis Green.

This is a game that pits two struggling teams against each other.  The Cardinals are a 1-6 mess of a football team, while the Packers are a 2-4 team in rebuilding mode.

When the Cardinals have the football they should have no problem throwing the ball against the Packers defense which is allowing 293.0 net yards passing this season (worst in the NFL)!  Matt Leinart has played pretty well so far this season and he should be able to get the ball to his receivers as long as the line gives him enough time.  The Cardinals have allowed 21 sacks already this season and the Packers have 18 already on defense, led by DE Aaron Kampman who already has 6.5.  Ideally, the Cards would like to get a lead and then let Edgerrin James grind out a win on the ground, but he’s having a rough season with only 432 yards rushing and 2.7 yards per carry.  The Packers run defense has been pretty tough so far this season, so this probably won’t be James breakout game.

The Packers will look to mix it up on offense.  The running game came alive last week with the return of Ahman Green to the starting line-up.  Look for the Packers to lean on the run a little more than usual to try to control the clock and keep the Cardinals away from the Packer secondary.  Don’t worry though, the Packers won’t forget the passing game.  The young offensive line has done a good job this season as Favre has only been sacked 9 times.  Favre will probably look to hook-up with his favorite WR, Donald Driver (36 rec, 436 yards) early and often.

This should be a good football game between two flawed teams.  I’m going with the Packers in a close, high-scoring football game.

The Cardinals haven’t played too well on offense this season and they’re only averaging 17.1 points per game. The Cards have not been able to get their running game going because the offensive line doesn’t fire off the line too well.  The Cards are only averaging 66.9 yards per game rushing and 2.5 yards per carry!  The passing game has been better, averaging 213.9 net yards passing per game.

The defense has not played very well either, allowing 23.6 points per game.  The Cards allow 113.1 yards rushing per game and 4.0 yards per carry.  The defense allows 225.0 net yards passing thru the air as opponents complete 55.7% of their passes.

Maybe instead of pointing fingers at his other coaches, maybe Dennis Green should take alot of the responsibilty for his teams crappy play!  Matt Leinart looked like the rookie he is against the Raiders.  Leinart completed 13 of 32 passes for 203 yards and 2 INT.  Edgerrin James couldn’t get anything going against the worst run defense in the NFL, carrying the ball 13 times for 34 yards (2.6 ypc).  Bryant Johnson caught 3 passes for 87 yards and Anquan Boldin caught 4 passes for 59 yards.

Three of the 11 defensive players on the Cardinals came to play against the Raiders……..LB Gerald Hayes (13 tackles), S Adrian Wilson (5 tackles, INT) and DE Bertrand Berry (2 tackles, 3 sacks, pass defensed), too bad the other 8 didn’t!  The Raiders ran the ball 37 times for 137 yards (3.7 ypc).  The Cards allowed the Raiders to complete 19 of 35 passes for 258 net yards passing.

This game was a disgrace to the Cardinals organiztion!  The countdown to Dennis Green’s last game as head coach of the Cardinals has begun!

Keep doing what you doing for now, last place in the NFL, give you chance to get good place in draw for next year, so you can feel up hole in your team.

Still, what ever you take it, you will loose, on this team is curs, and whatever you do, you loose. Thats not my word, thats what they say in last game monday nite in the radio, if this team loose this game, someone put good curs on team.

Any way if you looking on all team record, Cardinals have worst record in NFL, why they play,to get even worst, so no one can’t bit them.

I think is better for Cardinals to change name, maybe  this can help and change they luck in Arizona. Thanks god i dont buy season ticket for them, that will be waste of many.Watch this team for past 13 years how they play give me headache, just one apperance in playoff, give me a break……and this stadium for whom….LOOSERS,
