Rams ahead 26-0 into the 4th. Garbage time stats after this. The media was especially slobbering with crowning Arizona last week, lol.

Murray looked solid today.  I feel bad for AP.  I'm glad though that he isnt on our team now.

I wonder if a Broken arm played a roll in AZ getting stomped.

We're pretty lucky to have Case (and a Bad Ass Defense), I hope we're able to keep him as our back up on a long term deal.

No Palmer is going to allow teams to focus on the run.

Yeah, Palmer breaking his arm early in that game made a big difference.  But like I said in the other AD thread...  his rushing totals are going to ebb and flow based upon the opponent.

Adrian Peterson rushed 11 times for just 21 yards in the Cardinals' Week 7 loss to the Rams. He was targeted four times in the pass game, catching just one for 12 yards and dropping a pair. Peterson had a monster debut with the Cardinals in Week 6, but he crashed all the way back to Earth in this one, especially with the Cardinals falling in a deep hole and losing 33-0. Now with Carson Palmer (arm) out for eight weeks, the Cardinals will try to lean on Peterson on the ground. But with Drew Stanton under center, defenses are going to jam up the running lanes.

Wasn't he 12 for 33 in the second half a week earlier against the Bucs? 12 halves of football this year; pretty obvious which was the outlier.

The blitzer that broke Palmer's arm was the RB's responsibility.  Any guesses as to which RB that was?

Last week was the outlier in performance.  How many 10 for 22 yard games have we seen from AP the last few years.  Last week, the Cardinals opponent wasn't ready for AP, they are now.  He had a good game 7 days ago, but looked much slower, and even slimmer (to me).

He has some juice left for the occasional surprise, but he is no longer the bell-cow, or guy you build and offense around.

Her name was Suzy and well I suppose I was a little jealous but she should have known better than to go and fool around with Zack after I let her go. That wasn't very nice BUT at least I got to move on from her. Right?

This would be amazing, but...I think you are kidding? I just watched the interception play and I think Peterson was not on the field...

It's natural to follow former players when they leave your team.  It feels better when you realize you let them go at the right time.  It provides closure

Right time?  Two or three years too late.

I would guess that after Palmer went down they started stacking the box.

Peterson is #23.  His blitz pickup, easier to see from the above and behind camera angle.

Thanks, did not know he is 23; I thought he was really attached to #28.

Good grief, many have said he will get his QB hurt, no one wished it on Palmer, but...not surprised.

And the points the team is behind.  It's tough to run the ball when your down 20.

Should be much easier to run as the opposing defense will be dropping more in coverage to avoid the big passing plays that would allow a team to get back in a game without using a lot of clock.

His last big hurrah will be 2015. When he was protection for Teddy and when he was paired with a very good D.

It was the cocktail to 11/5 and a Norris Title.

Yep, AD's guy broke Palmer's arm.  He never learned pass protection or how to run screens and catch in stride.
