Best Memes of the Seattle Seahawks Choking Against the Arizona Cardinals
He led the team on consecutive 80-yard touchdown drives in the fourth quarter as the Cardinals scored the most points on Seattle since the 49ers put up 40 on December 12, 2010. With 1:58 left in the game, Arizona lined up with three receivers to the right, an iso receiver to the left side, and ran Andre Ellington to the single-receiver side.
“It’s real frustrating because we know we can play and we’re just not there the way we need to be yet”.
Palmer later connected with Brown again, this time on a 20-yarder, then finished off the decisive drive by hitting tight end Jermaine Gresham for a 14-yard touchdown to cap the 10-play, 83-yard series.
Even with a two-game lead in the NFC West at the midpoint of the season, the Cardinals have yet to prove they can topple the reigning division champions when the division race is still in question. Though rookie Jameis Winston is playing better lately, he’s still a mistake-prone quarterback in a conservative offense. “It came from my heart”.
“No, seriously”, Palmer chimed in from the cubicle next to Stanton’s in the visitors’ locker room. “It came from his heart”. Here are five more things we learned during Sunday Night Football:1. There was a ball on his back hip I’d like to see him get.
“The difference is we don’t have full control of everything at this point”, Carroll said Monday.
Arizona coach Bruce Arians was blunt that this is not a rivalry game yet. For one, this time Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer was healthy (we think) as he dissected the “Legion of Boom” for 363 yards and three touchdowns, including a pair to Michael Floyd. Of course, they are also only 2.5 games back of the first place 5-5 NY Giants. “I don’t get it, either”. “We have to finish that game and get it done”.
A perennial favorite to win the NFC West and perhaps make it back for a third straight NFC Championship appearance, Seattle (4-5) is in danger of being on the outside looking in when the playoffs role around in early January. “I was trying to make a play for the team”.
Throw in an injury to RT Rob Havenstein who himself was just coming off the “Questionable” section of the injury report, and the Rams have a few serious problems to deal with on the offensive line in terms if personnel if not in terms of performance. And that’s all I can comprehend on a losing game day.
Wilson went 14 of 32 for 240 yards, one touchdown and two turnovers (one interception, one fumble) in Sunday night’s 39-32 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at CenturyLink Field.
They did Sunday. Fourteen penalties for 131 yards, including critical O-line blunders in the first half, is characteristic of a young team on the come, not a two-time defending NFC champion.
The Giants (5-5) have given the Patriots fits under Tom Coughlin and almost pulled off another victory.
“(The penalties) gave them a lot more opportunities; you can’t give a team like that opportunities”, Wagner said. He was released from the hospital late in the game and was expected to return home with the team, .
“Those guys are kind of in our way”, Arizona defensive back Tyrann Mathieu said this week of the Seahawks. Where do we go from here?
After the game, Mathieu expanded on that thought.
Carroll called the comeback – due in part to the Seahawks becoming more aggressive defensively to try to get after Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer – “exquisite”. He just wants to know what happened. You could make the argument that Seattle reverts to their passing game when they are down, but in all of Seattle’s losses they have had a lead in the forth quarter, so they obviously have seldom been in a position where they needed to make the rushing attack a secondary option. “It was a great confidence-builder for us”.
“Going through those guys” was easier than it’s been before, and maybe this is the year Arians’s team can take their momentum all the way. Pete Carroll is still one of the better coaches in the NFL. Palmer sees Bennett, takes a couple of shuffle steps forward to buy himself more time, and launches a flawless pass to Floyd down the right sideline for a huge gain. The heroes are aligned, and the strategies are working.
