I slept in and only saw the second half of Ari@Dal... and Weeden looked awful
I think part of that is the Cardinals defense. They have the coaching, scheme, and talent to make a lot of quarterbacks look bad this year. Of course, Weeden is a marginal NFL quarterback to begin with so making him look bad is probably less difficult to to.
That said, the Cardinals are playing great football now, and I know a lot of Cowboy fans are probably saying "Here we go again". Here's what I have to say to that (disclaimer, I'm a Rams fan so I am saying this from a more objective point of view).
Don't panic - Yes, the Washington game was probably a trap game for them, but they ran into one of the best teams in the NFL right now, at least over the last month or so. Of course not having a healthy Tony Romo running the offense doesn't help, but over the long term, if their defense continues to play well, they will be in the playoffs.
Speaking of which, if there's a time to have a little swoon, now's the time for that. Sometimes peaking too early is not necessarily a good thing, so give it time, they should be fine.
That said, I'm SO happy that the Rams beat the 49ers. I do not like Kaepernick, he just rubs a lot of people the wrong way with his attitude and I don't think he's really that good a quarterback. Teams have figured out how to more effectively blitz him, though he still has been able to get some really good runs in, but the league has caught up to his play and now he needs to adjust. If this loss helps them to miss the playoffs, I will be happy no matter what the Rams' final record is, though it still sucks that they can't seem to turn things around.....Losing Bradford (yet again) just cripples their chances.
