4) I don't disagree with the FG. With as bad as our offense is, you have to take any points you can get and hope for a miracle like a defensive or ST's TD. We haven't scored a TD in 41 straight possessions, why would that drive have been any different?
3)Love how their only TD came against Sabby who started the pregame ruckus last night. Classic. Overall though the defense was lights out and it shows again why we need to resign Carr.
1) I hope you are wrong about us stealing a win because at this time wins are pointless and only hurt our draft stock. I also hope you are wrong about us resigning Orton and having him and Cassel compete for the starting job next year.

Great post. I agree on point #4. Ever notice that Haley resorts to a lot more gimmicks and fakes and onsides when our team is at a serious talent disadvantage? He did it a ton in 2009. Didn't do it much in 2010 and early 2011. Is starting to do it again. I think he's clearly showing that he doesn't think a Palko-led team can win without a few lucky bounces. And I think he's right.
On #3, Piscitelli needs to be cut. It's hard to imagine you could do much worse than him in terms of talent, and his attitude sucks. Lose/lose. I'm really curious to see what becomes of Daniels. I really liked him as a nickel/dime back. Might make for a very good backup Safety.
On #6... terrific point. People claim Haley is a horizontal offense guy. I disagree. He wasn't in Arizona. I think he went horizontal because that's all Cassel could do (it's all he did in New England). It will be interesting to see what they do now that they have a guy who doesn't mind going vertical.
