The Morning After: Arizona Cardinals Ugly Win in Week 12

Even if a few teammates feared he might be hurt. I don’t care what the league says, I don’t care what Roger (Goodell) says. “The teasing’s not going to stop”, he said.

“Today, we went after the tackles”, Tomsula said. “If we get free, we get free, but it’s really for him”.

Carson Palmer ran for a go-ahead 8-yard touchdown with 2:28 left and tumbled after spiking the ball in a telling story of his day, and the Arizona Cardinals squeaked by the San Francisco 49ers 19-13 on Sunday for their fifth straight win and first road victory in the series since September 2008. Nelson to put Arizona on the 1. Player after player said after the game that the 3-8 49ers don’t get enough credit.

As it turned out, Gabbert completed his fourth-longest pass of the day, an 18-yarder to wideout Anquan Boldin that came up 2 yards short.

Tomsula said that the quarterback will begin his rehab immediately. “If you don’t like what we say then don’t like what we say, don’t throw a flag for it. That’s what I’m sick about this league”.

It certainly wasn’t the best day for the NFL’s top-ranked offense as San Francisco outgained Arizona 368-337.

Cardinals running back Chris Johnson, who had 142 yards and two touchdowns in the first meeting, gained 17 yards on 12 carries.

That came after a career-high four catches for 65 yards and a touchdown the previous week against Seattle. Otherwise, it was business as usual, with Phil Dawson nailing two field goals, including a 53-yarder, and punter/kickoff special Bradley Pinion allowing only 77 total return yards on eight kicks. He added a 41-yarder early in the second. Gabbert went into some detail on his 3-yard pass to Draughn.

The 49ers were penalized 13 times for 81 yards.

Much like their second-quarter blunder, the 49ers defensive effort was undermined by a pair of costly penalties, an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after a referee ran into Torrey Smith on the sidelines, and a roughing the passer penalty against Quinton Dial on a sack of Palmer.

Palmer saw it clearly from his perspective: “There’s no debate here”.

Dial thought he was making a legal play as it unfolded.

They beat “the desperate team fighting for its season” in a Monday night win over the Baltimore Ravens. The Arizona Cardinals defeated the San Francisco 49ers 19-13. As reported by ESPN, Coach Bruce Arians of the Cardinals admitted that the officiating could have been better.

Against the Cardinals, Bell played a bigger role with Celek out, catching three passes, including one of 48 yards.

“I’ve never seen four penalties like that in one possession”, Fitzgerald said.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher is hopeful that QB Case Keenum (concussion), DE Robert Quinn (hip/back), tackle Rob Havenstein (calf), cornerback Trumaine Johnson (thigh) and kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) can make it back to the practice field at some point this week. Truthfully, if the stadium were still in my backyard instead of on another continent, I would likely be at every game, but between the disaster that is Levi’s and the disaster that is the 49ers organization, I’ve opted to watch the games in a bar or on my couch, even if that means eating the cost of my tickets (which I did yesterday as no one wanted them, even when I lowered the price to $50 a pop). He is one of only three current Cardinals who had previously won at San Francisco, along with Calais Campbell and Lyle Sendlein.
