Walsh blew it at the end, but I recall other stuff from that game that cost the Hawks the win
-Horrific first half. Typical of last year but Russ was under siege and no running game
-Considering who was at QB for Arizona they got points than I anticipated.
-Stupid taunting penalty Rawls took to move us out of FG range. I was already down on him but that moment sealed it for me on not wanting him back.
-RTP call, I think on Wagner that extended the game winning drive for the Cards. They would have punted without that.
I lay some of the blame on Pete to for the FG miss. It was 40+ yds IIRC. He's not the only coach who does this but drives me nuts as to how they played to set up that FG vs trying to move the ball closer.
I agree on Ariens being over-rated and a blow-hard imo. I also hated how he whined about Kam leaping over the line to block FGs and was a vocal part of that rule coming in. Just cause he had noone on his roster capable of doing that.
