Kurt Warner to Miss Skins Game

[JGisLordOfTheRings]

Rattay is old, let's face it. I know a few people tossed around the idea of bringing him here last offseason, so he cant be viewed as being all THAT bad. He didnt play horrible against the Panthers, you could just tell he has only been there for so long.

But then again, Testaverde played pretty well and he's a dinosaur too.

I like Kurt Warner but I would much rather have him on the bench than not. We should do fine against Rattay and the Cards.

[GTripp0012]

Rattay's pretty good, but I feel good about playing him the week after he signs with the team.

We have a dominant pass D anyway, so I'm not sure if it matters who is at QB for the Cards. We need to make this a shootout so that one fluke play that may cost us 7 points can't change the game.

[Chief X_Phackter]

I would go into this game with the intent to rest everybody who is nicked up (Portis, Moss, Washington, Daniels, etc.) We have the depth to do that and still win this game. I'm not saying this is a bye week, because the Cards are a good team this year, but I think we're good enough and deep enough to win without jeopardizing the health of our "playmakers". They need the rest. The O-Line....well not much we can do there but play who can play.

Tim Rattay is not a threat against our defense.

Tim Rattay?

Puh-lease.

In back to back weeks we've shut down two of the top passing attacks in the entire league. There's no logical reason why we should be concerned with Tim Rattay.

Exactly. We aren't losing games because of our defense.

Adrian Wilson and Roderick Hood are who we need to be nervous about, no one their offense though. Sure Edge is having a great year and their WRs are pretty good, but nothing our boys on D can't shut down completely.

I think whether it's Warner or Rattay at the helm, or even Leinart for that matter, nobody on the Cardinals is the biggest threat to us at this point. After the first six weeks, I think we've shown that we are an excellent team, and the only way you're going to beat us is if we fail to cash in on opportunities and we just flat out beat ourselves.

I honestly think that only the Patriots and Colts are better than us at this point. For every other team in the league, I think we come out on top if we just hold on to the damn ball. I'm also assuming that we can get Wade and Rabach back in action.

From what I've seen so far, we're our own worst enemy. We have a chance to be an excellent team if we just hang onto the ball.

Do you really believe that only the Colts and Pats are better than us? Our o-line is a complete mess and our wr's are a mess. We don't score enough points to be an elite team right now. Even Clev. is scoring more points than we are.

I think Jacksonville and Pittsburgh are better than us right now also.

But look at the NFC. The Bears are terrible, Minnesota is incredibly unbalanced, the 49ers have underachieved, the Seahawks have underachieved, we already beat Philadelphia pretty good this year. We just dominated the Packers offense and clearly outplayed them on the other side of the ball. They are widely regarded as the second best team in the conference, and we just went in and made them look awful.

Dallas, who is widely regarded as the best team in the NFC, looked terrible in Buffalo two weeks ago and got embarrassed on their home turf this week by a clearly better team.

The only team in the NFC that can say they are better than us right now has to be the New York Giants, who beat us pretty good at home. Even with them, at the end of the year, do you really think they will be playing better than us? I don't think they will They are right now...but so?

Nobody can defend our passing game right now and nobody can move the ball on us. Yes, we still have to get some kinks in the offense ironed out before we are an elite team, but I have been pleasantly surprised this year. I didn't think going in that our defense would be absolutely shut down and I didn't think our passing game would make some of the league's better pass D's look irrelivant out there.

Despite some tough losses, how can one not be encouraged? I'd rank us 6th in the league right now based on what I've seen.

I would say Dallas and NYG are a little better than everyone else in the NFC. Then there are a bunch of teams that are all bunched together. Wash, Minn, Seattle, Phi, GB, TB, Chi and Car are all real close. Say what you want about Minn but they went into Chi and won on the road w/ a terrible QB. That's a good win no matter how you look at it. Anytime a runner goes for over 200 on a good defense you have to tip your hat.

I am encouraged but we have to stop dropping passes and score more TD's.

Minnesota is very good at running the ball and excellent at stopping the run, but when the only thing you have to do to beat an opponent is throw the ball and stack up against the run, they aren't going to win many games. Thus the total lack of balance on that team.

There's a lot of good teams in the NFC, but few have made opponents look as helpless to control their own destiny as we have.

[GTripp0012]

The Cards' pass game are going to struggle against our defense.

I think we will probably win this game big, and the offense will look like they did in the Lions game, but be careful, this team is not completely void of talent. I think Edge will have a big day against us, maybe 100 yards and one TD. Won't be enough though if we score a lot of points and deny the pass.

[skinsfan69]

Honestly this game scares me. Rattay is not that bad. I remember he came in last year for TB and he went off on somebody. He's going to get a full week of practice and Boldin is going to be on the filed this week. We better not overlook this team!

He actually went off on the Bears...he's good.

Arizona is a good team, and should not be overlooked. With that said, they are going to struggle throwing against our defense, and let me assure you right here the offense is going to have a heck of a game through the air. Adrian Wilson is a player, but he doesn't have very impressive range. Their secondary is pretty iffy overall. Good front seven, another hard day for CP and Betts, but Campbell gets it done again.

28-13 Redskins.

Rattay scares people??

C'mon now.

Let's stop being ridiculous.

He's got a scary 80.3 lifetime rating and is on his third team in three years... That's how legends are made.
