Just when you
think you’ve seen it all, the Cards come up with another way to lose a
game. Which team was Warner playing for anyway? When the Rams fumbled the
snap with a little over two minutes to go it looked like the football gods
were smiling down on us. Apparently Warner doesn’t like smiling gods and
gave the gift right back.
And then
there was Green putting Ware in at starting defensive back which had Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce jumping for joy. What is the reason for putting in a
free agent rookie over a guy like Macklin, who at least has some experience?
And then you have Antrel Rolle calling out his teammates as he did when he’s
only played eight games in the NFL. Antrel, they would have thrown at you
all day if Ware wasn’t on the other side. There were some
bright spots. Anquan Boldin had a great day catching the ball and picking up
yardage after each catch. Edgerrin James had a lot of running room and made
some great moves. But you need more than two players.
Now Green
says he’ll start Leinart next week. I say, what the heck. The Cards are a
three ring wreck of a circus and Denny is head clown; it doesn’t really
matter who starts at quarterback.
Now a shout
out to my buddy Roger, creator of the car-broiled chicken wings, who
couldn’t make it to the game because he’s laid up with a bad back. At least
Roger knows that, unlike the Cards, he can get better. I also salute my
friend Bob who flew down from Seattle to join me for this debacle in the
desert. Now is that crazy, or what? And to all Cardinal fans, my advice is
to drink wisely but effectively to clear your minds of this one.
