All Things Considered

[Harry]

This was one of the great coaching jobs in NFL history. To win 11 games with a team ranked near the bottom in offense and defense would have been hard to imagine. Don't let the sad finish diminish what Bruce Arians accomplished.

 

[moosehead]

Not at all. Best season ever.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

It was a great season. The team left so much more out there so it was hard to see that happen.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Agreed.

 

[Darkside]

Great coaching for sure.

 

[Redneck Voodoo]

Great coaching for sure.

Yep!

 

[Red Dawn]

Yep, great season and it is not over yet.

 

[NeverSayDieFan]

We have earned....RESPECT!

When I tell people I'm a Cardinal fan I don't get that incredulous stare followed by..."Seriously?!? WOW!!"


VERY, VERY PLEASED with where we are, and MORE importantly, where we are going.

MARK IN SC

A BASK-ER!

Damn fine coaching job.Really a tale of a season in 3 parts {part 6-0 with Carson Palmer ,rolling fairly well,Part with Stanton5-3 any holding advantage,part with Lindley 0-2 trying to keep afloat playing a 4th string QB and damn near still winning division}With tremnendous amount of injuries and Other screw-ups by DW and Dwyer it was a very good job by BA this year.

 

[b8rtm8nn]

I watched all the games to the end - first season I have EVER done that.

Go Cards! Go BA!

Looking forward to many more awesome seasons!

Arians is hands down coach of the year. Heck, they could have easily won today's game and been 12-4, which would have really PO'd Cliff.

 

[Chopper0080]

Yup.

 

[MrYeahBut]

Thanks for posting that Harry. Don't be a stranger.

 

[Shaggy]

I totally agree. I'm still upset of the losses they have had but with all their injuries this year, they have done a great job with what they have. Love this team and look forward to the playoff games and the future.

I am also glad Iceman and I own this site now. It's great to be apart of an awesome punch of people here and look forward to this site grow in the future.

No doubt. Arians is a magician. What a pleasure this season has been.

Amazing season, and still going!

^ This.

 

[Austin Zonie]

Special season. Great to see expectations increasing across the board with players, fans and maybe one day the media!

 

[jmt]

Yep, great season and it is not over yet.

Ditto!

 

[slanidrac16]

Great season.

This will be one of the best off easons we have had in a long time. Lot's of work to do, however, this club is actually a bonofide professionally run franchise.

No deficiency will be ignored! With all our walking wounded returning next year could be a special season.

Wasn't it a few years back Green Bay had 17 guys on IR? They came back the following year and were dynamite.


Only 2 teams play in the final game and only one can win it. We now root for a team that appears to be set up for some long term success. We may not win a Super Bowl in the next 5 years but it's nice to think 10 and 11 win seasons could be the norm.

 

[okcardzona]

It been a fun season. and let the playoffs begin. lol

 

[SeattleCard]

Proud of our team and glad to have Bruce at the helm.

 

[kerouac9]

Yup. Great season with an offense that is almost running what Al Davis was hoping to put together with the Raiders for two decades. Inefficient deep passing, only we were using a short passing game instead of a power running game to put ourselves in favorable situations.

I think our signature win was that home win against St. Louis--close game where we used 2 quarterbacks but got 2 scores from the defense to make it look non-competitive in the box score.

 

[Goldfield]

Tough, resilient, team. This has been my favorite Cardinal team ever. It sad they had to lose two QBs at the end.

 

[CardNots]

I watched all the games to the end - first season I have EVER done that!

This!

Most entertaining season yet for me. The Warner years were fun but the high scoring games wore me out!

Arians is hands down coach of the year. Heck, they could have easily won today's game and been 12-4, which would have really PO'd Cliff.

I agree he should be coach of the year hands down but I have a sneaky supsicion they will give it to Jason Garrett of the Cowboys just because they are a glamour team and won their division.
