Week 7:@
This matchup see's the 1st place 4-1 Cards travel to Oaktown to take on the 3-2 Raiders. According to Simms these two teams hate each other. Well, that's news to me!!!
The raiders start with a 3 and out. McGloins looked shaky. Then the despised Carson Palmer takes the ball and throws for 0 yards before his RB punches it in from the 1. 7-0 Cards.
McGloin then drives the field but gets picked off inside the 20. However, DT Sims gets a safety on Palmer... 7-2 Cards.
After a whole lot of nothing, Palmer hits Ginn for a 9 yard TD and it's 14-2 Cardinals with 1:01 left in the 2nd.
The half ends and that was domination. The Cards have 152 yards through the air compared to 56 by Oakland. Fitzgerald already has 7 catches. Palmer is deadly accurate today. McGloin continues to rock the 3 and out mantra.
Arizona starts the 3rd with a nice drive ending in a 40 yard FG. That increases their lead to 17-2.
After (finally) a decent drive by the Raiders, Janikowski shanks a 43 yarder... man he sucks when he has no confidence!!!!
The score remains 17-2 Arizona at the end of the 3rd. This game is ugly!!!
Feeley adds to the Cards lead with a 48 yard FG... 20-2 Cards. One their next drive he does it again with a 50 yarder and the lead increases to 23-2 with 1:57 left.
On the next drive McGloin gets knocked out of the game with a high ankle sprain... Carr goes 4 and out and that's pretty much the game. The raiders get destroyed 23-2 and fall to 3-3.
McGloin had a fair game, going 24/37 for 154 yards and 1 pic. The real issue today was the run game. MJD had 40 yards on 14 carries. He was awful! The only real positive is that James Jones reached the 40 catch mark.
Next up a trip to Cleveland. This needs to be a win as the Browns are awful!
