Leinart shines against Bears D

denny-green.jpgWe were just psyched to see Leinart pick apart a Bears D that we’ve had nothing but extreme admiration for up to this point. If only the USC defense could swarm to the ball like the Chicago Bears do. But we were not that upset to see the Cards fall, well, like a house of cards (well maybe a little if only because Vince Young already got a win against Daniel Snyder’s Foreskins).

Pardon us if our skepticism predates last nights debacle, but the Cardinals could be better off without Denny Green. Doubt there is any arguement, the guy is not the best coach in the NFL. And just based on his latest attempts to use the media to call out his players have us questioning his methods. There is certainly no denying his stubborness. The guy is incapable of reflection.

You heard it from Leinart in his post-game press conference, “Why yes, I would have liked to pass more.”

Predictability doesn’t even come in to play (Brian Urlacher does) when you run the ball for the 35th and 36th time into an 8 or 9-man defensive front (which happens to be the best we’ve seen since the Monsters of Midway). By the way, that was an NFL record. Most amount of rushes (36) for the fewest amount of yards (55).

    So I’m not a huge arizona cardinal’s fan but I like to follow my former USC football players and Matt Leinart couldn’t have played a better game! However, ALL of that success had to be ruined by the playcalling of Dennis “moron” Green. Matt Leinart had the Cards driving down the field and could have led them all the way for a score but Dennis Green had to play “not to lose” instead of to WIN. He chose to give the ball to Edgerrin James (who is a great running back) who HAD THE WORST GAME IN THE HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE!!! No joke, he actually set a record for the most carries (36) with the fewest yards (55). Dennis Green called 2 running plays to pick up 2 measly yards, fully knowing that The Edge could not run the ball against the Bears D. It became apparent that coach Green was going to play for the field goal when the crowd could see that the cards were making no effort to stop the clock. However, the moron called 2 running plays to the LEFT HASHMARK. I’m no genius, but if you know you are going to play for the field goal, wouldn’t you want to run to the center of the field to give your kicker the best chance possible? I can place no blame on anyone but him and the man should be fired. It is a disgrace that Cardinal’s fans had to go through this abomination.
