The Cardinals didn’t come to play last night in Denver.  Kurt Warner didn’t look good completing 2 of 7 passes for 48 yards with 1 interception.  Matt Leinart also was sloppy completing just 1 of 4 passes for 4 yards with 1 interception.  Tyler Palko finished the game and he was awful too completing 13 of 30 passes for 141 yards with 1 interception.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 27 yards to lead the Cards in rushing.  Larry Fitzgerald only caught 1 pass but he led the Cards in receiving yards with 36.  The Cardinals completed passes to 11 different receivers none of which caught more than two passes or had more than 36 yards.  The Cardinals finished up with 244 total yards in this game (68 rushing, 176 passing).

CBs Greg Toler (7 tackles) and Michael Adams (6 tackles, interception) led the way for the Cards on D.  The Broncos finished up with 314 total yards on offense (115 rushing, 199 passing).  The Cardinals finished up the pre-season with a 0-4 record.

The Cardinals were down 38-10 at the half before coming almost all the way back.  Kurt Warner started this game and he was 10 of 16 for 139 yards with 1 interception.  Matt Leinart was the star of this game for the Cardinals as he completed 24 of 38 passes for 360 yards with 3 TD passes and 1 interception.  Chris “Beanie” Wells led the way on the ground for the Cardinals in this game with 46 yards rushing on 7 carries (6.6 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  Tim Hightower also pitched in with 6 carries for 38 yards (6.3 ypc).  WR Jerheme Urban led the way for the Cards in the air in this game as he caught 6 passes for 103 yards (17.2 avg).  WRs Early Doucet (93 yards, TD), Larry Fitzgerald (75 yards) and Sean Morey (71 yards) each caught 5 passes apiece in this game.  The Cardinals finished with a stunning 563 total yards on offense in this game (108 rushing, 455 passing) in this game.

Safety Adrian Wilson let the way in this game for the Cardinals with 6 tackles in this game.  The Packers rolled up 408 yards of offense in this game (123 rushing, 285 passing).  But, Packers’ WR Ruvell Martin put the final nail in the coffin for the Cardinals as he returned a onside kick 39 yards for a TD with 33 seconds left in the game!

The Cardinals really stunk it up in this game last Saturday Night against the Chargers.  Kurt Warner started at QB in this game and he completed 6 of 13 passes for 80 yards with 1 interception.  Matt Leinart was so-so as he completed 6 of 10 passes for 74 yards.  Brian St. Pierre finished up this game by completing 6 of 15 passes for 79 yards with 1 interception.  Tim Hightower led the way in the running game for the Cardinals in this game with 42 yards rushing on 9 carries (4.7 ypc).  TE Leonard Pope led the way in receiving yards in this game for the Cards with 53 yards on 2 catches (26.5 avg).  WRs Anquan Boldin (51 yards) and Lance Long (41 yards) each caught three passes in this game.  The Cardinals finished up with 294 total yards on offense (64 rushing, 230 passing) in this game.

Cornerback Greg Toler and linebacker Pago Togafau led the Cards’ defense with 7 tackles apiece in this game.  The Chargers finished up with 325 total yards (125 rushing, 200 passing) in this game.

Don’t be too disappointed in the final score as this game was 3-3 heading into the 4th quarter.  Kurt Warner started the game at QB and he was so-so completing 6 of 10 passes for 53 yards.  Matt Leinart followed Warner in this game and he completed 8 of 14 passes for 83 yards.  Brian St. Pierre who was supposed to battle Leinart for the #2 job might have a hard time holding off Tyler Palko for a roster spot after his performance in this game.  He completed 4 of 10 passes for 42 yards with a interception.  Tyler Palko finished up the game completing 8 of 15 passes for 103 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 11 yards.  Tim Hightower and LaRod Stephens-Howling each had 24 yards rushing on six carries to lead the way for the Cardinals in this one.  Steve Breaston (52 yards) and WR Lance Long (48 yards) each caught 5 passes in this game to lead the way for the Cardinals.  WR Onrea Jones caught 2 passes for 43 yards (21.5 avg) and he scored the only TD in this game for the Cardinals.  Despite not scoring many points the Cardinals still finished this game with 329 yards of offense against the Steelers.

The defense played fairly well in this game until the scrubs came in (4th quarter).  CB Michael Adams, LB Karlos Dansby, LB Pago Togafau and DT Alan Branch each led the way for the Cardinals on defense with 5 tackles apiece.  The Cards held the Steelers to only 288 yards of offense and held their vaunted rushing attack to only 2.8 yards per carry.

The Cardinals had more bright spots in this game than bad ones despite the final score.

The Cardinals played well in the first half of this football game before the roof caved in.  Kurt Warner was effective in his brief time on the field as he completed all four of his pass attempts for 48 yards.  Matt Leinart was also sharp as he completed 10 of 14 passes for 177 yards with a TD pass.  Brian St. Pierre had by far his worst game of the preseason as he only completed 1 of 7 passes for 13 yards.  Anthony Morelli also had a night to forget as he completed 6 of 12 passes for 78 yards with 2 interceptions.  J.J.
