I am beyond disgusted with chip kicking the FG at the end of the game. Just an F- coaching decision. It's beyond dumb, he's supposed to be better than that.

That's what you're mad at? How about giving up a wide open 80 yard td on 3rd down? The fg was fine.

I expect garbage from Nate Allen and am not disappointed when he delivers. I expect our wins to come from chips superior coaching, and everything about that 3rd and 4th and goal makes me furious. He should be better than that.

Chip has been way more conservative in those situations than I'd like but I have no issues with the FG there. Arizona had done very little offensively to that point and if it wasn't for a brain dead play from Allen it's 4th down and they probably hold on for the win.

Frustrating loss since they largely outplayed the Cards but made a few costly mistakes. Really sucks since Dallas will likely be 7-1.

also foles has basically turned into kevin kolb this year :\

EVERYTHING is off his back foot. its why he's throwing all these picks. i don't know if its b/c he has made this conscious effort to not get sacked no matter what or he just doesn't wanna get hit. its gotten to the point where he is feeling phantom pressure. there was a couple plays where the cards brought a blitz, it was picked up by our guys perfectly and foles had a nice pocket to step up into and he still back peddled 2-3 steps and chucked it off his back foot

yeah i thought they were going pass with the single back shotgun formation.. i hate when teams run from 5-6 yards back on short yardage plays

Yeah I was not a fan of that 3rd down play call. Beyond that tho why wasn't the spot leading up to that play challenged? Was clearly a 1st down, even drawing live to a TD. Would've been 1st & G inside 2 mins, w/ 3 cracks at a TD. I wanna know if the replay coordinator didn't tell chip to challenge or what happened there.

not kicking the field goal would be pretty horrendous. you're being super results oriented

this is the only real issue. everyone and their grandma knew they were gonna run the ball because they ran it virtually every single play. if they're gonna do that they might as well get in their best running formation and just pound it in instead of giving shady a shot at being caught 3 yards downfield.

It would have been a sweet time for a pass but the bonus of running time off till the 2 minute warning was way too good to miss at the time. This one is just on nate getting beat at a time no one should get beat at.

Yeah, lol at hating on the FG.

There's 2:00 left in a tie game and the defense had actually played well in the 2nd half (minus Fitz's TD). Considering how conservative coaches are, you're going to hold them to a FG about 99% of the time. All you have to do is not let somebody get behind your defense. But of ****ing course, Nate Allen sucks donkey dick.

Did not realize how terrible that spot was near the end of the game, wow. But whatever, you can't blame this on the refs. Maybe don't turn it over twice in the redzone. You can't blame a loss on a single call.

Did anybody else think Boykin practically gave up on Fitz's TD? He was chasing him and looked like he was right on him and about the 10 yard line and could have easily dove and had a good chance to trip him up at about the 5, but he just pulled up like "nah, I'm good".

Fun fact: John Brown was taken 5 spots after Huff. lol Eagles. Huff ****ing sucks.

I was listening to the press conference today, they said the 1st down marker (the one we saw on TV during the replay) wasn't official. The actual marker was much closer to the goal line than the one we saw on the replay (replay marker was closer to the 1 yard line). Maybe they did still get the 1st down though, who knows. But I originally thought we got screwed too with the spot.

i was thinking the same thing. fitz was giving up a little bit but effort wasnt made on either side. boykin had a pretty crappy game overall.

This is correct.

When I saw the spot, I immediately looked at the far marker and was like "Oh, that's a first", but then they called for a measurement and brought the chains from the near side, and from what it looked like, the line to gain was about the 2 inch line, and I'm not exaggerating. It was insanely close to the goal line.

Another thing that tilted me this game and has frustrated me in other games is the offense apparently doesn't know how to run some ****ing clock. During the go-ahead drive in the 4th, the consistently were snapping the ball with 10-15s on the play clock. At that point in time, you have to assume this will be the last drive you have to score and should be running the clock to take away time for AZ. They did it last game vs STL. Down one possession late, the consistently snapped the ball with 10+ seconds on the play clock.

I also wish the would have tried one more out route after Maclin's completion to the 16. I think 2 chances from the ~10 > 3 from the 16. I did like the play calls on the throw to the endzone. They had 3 chances in 1-on-1 coverage to go up and make a play. The throws were a little iffy though. A bit too close to the sidelines and on the last play Johnson was smart and let Matthews catch it but just shoved him OOB.

Well, thanks Washington.

Seeing Dallas lose to WAS soothes things a little, but at the same time makes it worse.

while we're hindsighting, Marcus Smith sitting at the bottom of the depth chart for ~every LB position is ****ing annoying.

Could have had Kelvin Benjy.
