Brandon Weeden on struggles vs. Arizona: "A couple of timing issues. A couple of not very good throws... Just never really got in a rhythm
Weeden: The first throw I missed Dez on the sideline. That was on me. We never really got into a rhythm until late, and it was too late.."
Weeden: Peterson is probably NFL's best CB. Cromartie is a good player. But when you have 88, you gotta get him the ball as much as possible

No doubt he was eyeing Dez early and often but it would help if you look him off or pump fake something to move the CB not to mention you had other guys out there who were open.

The drive before halftime that got us to the Arz 17 yard line was a pretty decent drive. FG got blocked

And I STILL want to know why that counts as a "miss" in FT Attempts for the kicker. Not Bailey's fault someone let the defender right through to block a certain FG

Good question, I guess it is like giving the QB the int when the WR tips the ball into the CB hands. I do agree not on Bailey

Weeden is horrible and it was made even worse by the fact that it was very clear that he was forcing throws to Dez trying to get the ball to him.

It was so blatantly obvious that even Joe Buck was able to pick up on it and mention it.

What bothers me is that he is focusing on his inaccurate throws. That sucked, but that wasn't why we are complaining. it isn't your lack of accuracy - it is your inability to find the right receiver.

Acceptance is the first step in the healing process. Yes, Weeden is that bad.

I disagree. You don't make it to the NFL throwing some of those passes he made. If you want to question his football IQ fine. If you want to question his accuracy that's fine too. But some of that was plain awful. The same throws he missed this week he made last week.

Everything was on you Weeden.. Everything...

I agree with you mostly:
4 and inches not on Weeden, that's on the O-line and RB
Allowing yourself to be pushed around and manhandles by a CB not on Weeden, that's on Dez and co.
Allowing a CB to manhandled our WRs all day not on Weeden, that's on the refs. Now I love the ole school way of playing D but I thought the whole purpose of the new penalty calls were to prevent this kind of hand checking past 5 yards.
Terrible game plan for the last two weeks, not on Weeden, that's on the coaching staff. We are 15-1 when Murray has over 20 carries. That's plain and simple.

I would like to have heard this as well. It's concerning that he did not come to this conclusion himself.

1. No, the 4th and inches is on Weeden. He posed no threat. Defense keyed on Murray and the result was predictable.

2. Dez was open regularly (well, as open as Dez gets). Weeden couldn't deliver the mail.

3. This is partly bias on your part but I'll play. I'm guessing the refs were hesitant to throw flags because they realized that they should not reward such horrific QB play with easy flags. If balls had been remotely close to their targets, we may have very well seen more flags.

To sum up, everything was Weeden's fault. Everything.

Yeah I refuse to believe Weeden is THAT bad. He just picked hte worst time to have a terrible performance. It would've been in his best interests if Romo would've played lol.

Eh, Weeden's 5-16 career record in the NFL says otherwise. Face it, the guy has a history of failing and really should not be an NFL QB.

I really don't understand with the renewed emphasis on contact why they let Arizona get away with mugging our receivers. I don't care who the QB is, if the contact is after 5 yards, either decide as a league to call it or not call it.
