It's time to stop making excuses. Yep we've had this conversation before but this is different. This ain't the Packers who have a ton of native fans here, these are pure bandwagoners who get in because it's so easy to get tickets from our "fans." This is pathetic.

########

I needed money for Christmas

I sold one game to help pay for my playoff tickets

I sold one game to help me buy my tickets next year

I needed money to make ends meet

They are my tickets I can do what I want

It's not fans fault it's all brokers

########


Our final three home games of our BEST REGULAR SEASON EVER have been hostile takeovers by opposing teams fans.

You can only make so many excuses for our fan base. This is shameful and embarrassing. I could handle the Vikings and the Packers but these aren't Seattle transplants who have season tickets, these are bandwagoners who got tickets easily because Cardinals "fans" sold them to them. Hearing that stupid Sea Hawks chant in our stadium is infuriating. Shame on all those who sold their tickets. No more excuse. 3 weeks in a row is inexcusable. We have a weak fanbase and if I was a player it would really bum me out.

Sorry rant over, I'm off my soap box.

That's one section, that doesn't tell whole story... I think closed roof and great tv audio over exaggerates the "takeover."

With all due respect LIAC I am not buying it. Just more excuses for our fan base, present company excluded, which is among the softest in the league. It's a sad but true fact. 3 weeks in a row this has happened. Here's to using a silent count at home in the playoffs. [emoji35][emoji35][emoji90][emoji90][emoji90][emoji90][emoji90][emoji90]

Feel bad for the fans that didn't sell their tix lol.


I'm not surprised you are in such a good mood. This is back to just how you like it right? Back to the good old days... Cards getting blown out and you loving every second of it. Enjoy your day!

Everyone knows this game means nothing. #1 seed wasn't happening. We had a similar week 17 game in 2009 vs GB. Everyone panicked. Deja vu all over again.

I'm here and we are thinking there would be more Seattle fans. Nothing close to the Min game.

Lol this literally has nothing to do with the play on the field.

I'm just super frustrated and sick of us playing road games at home. I apologize to anyone my post offends or annoys.

No, GB fans took over that game too. Why? Because it was meaningless. People paid for playoff tickets on a preseason game in week 17. Same thing here. This is little more than a preseason game. We all knew it coming in. People make playoff money. Nobody really cares, despite the talk about how much it "matters" it really doesn't matter to us.

So what's the excuse for last week? How bout the Vikings game? Major straws being grasped at here. The final 3 home games of our best season ever and all three we are using a silent count due to opposing fan presence.

GB hardly showed. And they were not even remotely loud. Minny ALWAYS shows huge. Always have. Last week was 80% cards fans, BTW. GB's presence was not big.

This weekend nobody cared, so the bandwagon twelves paid a lot of money to watch a preseason game they won. Big whoop.

I think you need to rethink your definition of takeover. SDS was takeover central.

Seahawks fans are badly outnumbered, they just are the only ones with something to cheer about today.

Why did the org go away from the Protect the Nest packages? PHX is a transient population just like LA...

Are you at the game wearing red Bert?

How sure are you that it's the season ticket holders selling their tickets? Any fan of any team can buy tickets directly from the cardinals website.

No way as bad as the packers game. We just don't have much to cheer for.

Complains about a lack of fan support in the stadium...........from his living room

I was a season ticket holder for 15 years, and have been to several games this season. My resume is just fine. Thanks for adding your incredible insight and opinions to the thread. Atleast I dont still have my tickets but sell them to the highest bidder while making bull crap excuses like; Oh I need to pay my bills.


Massive amounts of "fans" and I use that term extremely loosely, sold their tickets to the last 3 regular season games of a first place team. None of you, I repeat, none of you have offered anywhere near a valid response to that FACT.


The fact that so many of you are not bothered by this and continue to make excuses for the fan base blows my mind. It's exactly what is wrong with our fans.

It doesn't bother you, fine, it bothers me. I'm fine agreeing to disagree.

I already said my post was out of sheer frustration. I'm glad you got to throw your zinger out there Hollywood. You've enriched the board as always. Good job.

Thanks. To be honest I didn't work that hard on it. Sometimes things just come to me. I am gifted that way.[emoji1]
