Arizona Cardinals vs. New England Patriots 2022-12-12 6/

 Nah, not going to watch the halftime show.

2nd half

. Ooh, we're back.

C'mon, tackle. There you go.  JJ Watt, no big surprise there.

Tricky screen pays dividends.  Too bad.

Damn, one good defensive play, followed by a huge run.  Sheesh.

Well, held them to a field goal attempt, anyway.  Or maybe they'll pull out another trick play.  Nope, looks legit.  Tie game at 13.

McCoy -> Hopkins is working

Conner's looking great

Hoo boy - trying to throw a pick.  Lucky.

Penalty.  Nice effort from Conner to make something of nothing.  Going for it on 4th & 5.  Not wise.

Brown drops it?  What happened?  Looked good from the side.  Oh, he had to lay out to get to it.  Still should've caught it - had it between his arms.

Buda Baker good tackle

Good non-pass interference

Long punt & no real return.  Long way to go in the other direction.  Guess that's what happens when you always go for it on 4th down.

Cards start from their 6.  Conner runs well on 1st down.  Incomplete pass on 2nd down.  Illegal contact on defense, so 1st down.  

Ack ack ack.  Ack phhhttttbbb.  Hopkins catch & then fumble, Patriots recover & run it in for a score.  Shit.  Looks like it just slipped out of Hopkins' hands.  Yeah, admits his fault - good.

Patriots 20-13

Kick off, run out to the 24.  At least not starting at their 6, I guess.

16 yard gain by Brown with the pass & run.  

Another false start.  C'mon....   not used to McCoy's snap count?   1st & 15.  Nice catch, got clobbered after the catch.  McBride's a tough mofo.  Sheesh.

Gain of 6, 3rd & 1.  Colt McCoy's doing ok, with a lot of help from Conner.  Now he's limping, though - Conner.  Crap.

Sack.  Probably a hold, too.  Yeah, but declined.  2nd & whatever - 13?  Oochie got him again. Maybe he should be Ouchie.  Yes, I know it's Uche.

McCoy hit while throwing, interception.  Uche delivered the hit - ouchie.  Guess I shouldn't've made fun of his name.

New England starts with great field position again.  Fumble, run back - run run run run run1  Yes!  Touchdown Cardinals!  Hmmm....  not sure it was really a catch.  Yeah, they're saying it was an incomplete pass.  Crap.  Damn it.  The defense deserved that score.

3rd quarter's almost done.  Need a stop. Good pressure on the QB, but he manages to get a ball away & it was caught.  Cardinals are not catching many breaks.

Ok, post time.
