Well, the dream of an undefeated season came to a halt Monday night. The Cardinals shut out the Seahawks in an embarrassing 50-0 contest. Seattle wasn't clapping after this one.
"We got humbled," Krabbs told reporters post game. "We got beat by the champs. It is something I am not going to be upset about, but something to use as motivation. (Donte) McGowen became the all time leader in touchdowns tonight. He has been in the league three years. We have not faced a team like that this season. This loss stings, but it is not something that is going to derail us on from our path to a championship."
Brandon Clapp threw six interceptions and finished with under 200 yards for the first time this season. He threw his first three picks to the same linebacker, *NAME*.
"That defense doesn't have brakes," Clapp said. "They will rush you all game and make you throw that pass and force the turnover. And if you don't get the pass off, its a sack. They make it very difficult to move the ball up field."
Cardinals quarterback Dontae McGowen had an outstanding game. He became the outright leader in touchdown passes for a career. He did not just kill the Seahawks defense with the pass, but his sidekick Mayweather ran all over the field. The Seahawks had no answer for the triple option and wildcat offenses.
"They are the most unpredictable predictable offense we have ever faced in my 13 years here," Krabbs said. "You think you've stopped the run, but then you see (Lincoln) Flannigan run down field and catch a 70 yard touchdown. There's a reason they have four Super Bowls."
The hottest defense in the league burnt out in minutes of this game. McGowen picked apart a defense consisting of Freddie Walters, Reggie Francis, and captain Khamari Nance. However, two guys had minimal success in this one. FS Shaq Kinney and OLB Dontae Farrell were the shining stars of a defense looking for the light. Kinney picked off McGowen and Farrell sacked him three times.
"I don't know what it is," Farrell said in the locker room postgame. "But I have great games against Arizona. It maybe because McGowen forgets about me, which makes sense. I'm always going to be nagging him and hopefully I'll finally force him to fumble it. Maybe next game."
The Seahawks look to get back to their winning ways next week against the Cowboys. The Seahawks will travel once again and look to get the job done on the road.
