Seahawks Get Underwhelming Win Off Cards

The Arizona Cardinals said this was their measuring stick game in the NFC West. Then they whacked themselves back into a disappointing resemblance of their old selves.

3 problems are still hurting the Cardinals. The o-line is still the major weak point for the Cards. Big is much too slow to be a tackle and should be placed back at guard.

The next problem is the ownership is stil cheap and don't want to put the best product out there and pocket that extra $10 million they have under the salary cap.

Third, the loosey-goosey pass coverage in the first half let the Seahawks move the ball at will.

Green is an excellent coach, but its hard to perform miracles with these issues around his neck.

I am sooooo frustrated with Dennis Green. Today's game really summed it up. He could care less about the Cardinals or the fans. He shows absolutely NO emotion on the sidelines. He is useless as a coach. What is the deal? Can ANYONE become a football coach??? Obviously, that is the case. I've never played football in my life, but am positive I could've done a better job than he has done. Today, I wanted to grab him through the T.V. screen and ask him what the heck he was thinking today....or for that matter...what was he thinking during every single game he has coached (and I use the word loosely)since he has been our coach? Today's game was pathetic. I don't even know where to start. Take your pick....horrible clock management, multiple sacks and penalties, interceptions, horrendous calls. Good God, do you know how difficult it is to be a Cardinal fan, Dennis?????? We all deserve medals. We've supported the team, we built them a home, we go to the games, we watch them on T.V. and through ALL of the disappointments, we STILL come back for more. PLEASE, Dennis Green........for once....give something back to the fans. We deserve it and we deserve to have a coach that SHOWS UP and at least pretends to love Arizona and the Cardinals. We're all so sick of your pathetic, horrible attitude. And one more thing, I know I am not alone when I say that we don't expect the Cardinals to win every game, but we DO expect them to SHOW UP and give it their all at every single game. That's the very least they can do for their team and for their fans!!!
Signed,
A very very disappointed Cardinal Fan

N Burback: You post is a joke, right? You can't be serious? Who put you up to this nonsense?

If you are serious, you are barking up the wrong tree. If you want a show of emotion by Denny Green to be your entertainment, please, go watch professional wrestling or the NBA where the coaches like to act out. If you want to focus on the Cardinals, focus on the players' performances on the field and learn some of the basics of the game. How can you be a serious fan of football without understanding the basics? If this is not a joke and you are not kidding, then you are arrogant and ignorant if you really believe you can do better than an experienced NFL coach.

Joe, if you listened to "Cardinal's Talk" on the radio immediately after the game, you would know that 99.9% of the people who phoned in agreed with me. When I said that Dennis Green shows no emotion on the sidelines, I was not saying that I wanted to be entertained by watching him act inappropriately, as they do at prof. wrestling matches or the NBA. I was saying that it would be nice to see even a semblence of him caring about his team by having ANY facial expression at all. He may be an experienced NFL coach, but being experienced doesn't necessarily mean he's good at what he does. I have nothing against him personally, but having him as the coach for the Cardinals has been one disappointment after another. That's a fact, Joe!!! As I said above, I am not the only fan who feels that way. You calling me arrogant and ignorant is a ridiculous statement for you to make and only makes me feel like you are either a relative of Dennis Green or one of the Bidwells. If that is the case, then I understand how you'd want to stick up for them. Family should stick together, but if you really care about Dennis, maybe you could encourage him to choose another career. Being a football coach is obviously NOT his thing.

Dennis Green is a proven leader. He has had success in the past and this team has shown dramatic improvement. Professional leaders and decision makes should not show emotion. This would allow others to get into his thought process and to manipulate him. He has a thorough understanding of the game and he needs to continue to effect area within his sphere of influence.
