That was Bill Bidwill in a nutshell. I’m sure he owed O’Donoghue money & wasn’t about to cut him until the guy’s contract was done. Regardless of how many games he cost us.

Yo, this is one of the most awesome Cardinal moments I've ever seen. I subsequently became a fan the following year, but I've never seen that clip.

Same old same old as far as bs officiating against this franchise going all the way back to the 60’s.

That was SO MUCH like the GB game back in 2021. We went into that 74 game at 7-0, we were at home on national tv, and found a way to lose late.

EVERY Cardinal fan of that era remembers that game indeed. And even though that last call went our way (and it shouldn’t have), the zebras screwed us ALL day. We had family friends over for the game & my Dad’s best friend, who was a Bills fan (we lived in Syracuse, NY) commented that we were indeed the Cardiac Cards. Our dear friend died of a massive heart attack less than 2 weeks later on Thanksgiving morning at the very young age of 44. We played the Bills later that day, and out of respect to Mr. DiCaprio, I rooted for the Bills that day. The Bills surprised everyone & trashed us 32-14 that Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving Day was never kind to the Cardinals, even during the Coryell years.

My favorite regular season Cardinal win EVER. And nothing else is even close. Beating the Cowboys back then 38-0 IN DALLAS, was the equivalence of the Cardinals beating Kansas City 38-0 on the road in this era. Just try to fathom that.

I think their last Thanksgiving win was in 1948!

I recall this game. In OT Sean Morey seemingly going into the end zone on a big play, gets tackled, followed by a Rackers missed FG and then Warner getting stripped of the ball in our end zone.

This game prompted the firing of Bob Hollway. And that started the beginning of the Coryell era in 1973.

Yup. I think that was the year the Niners only won 2 games… both against us… in a season where we went 8-8 and 9-7 would have gotten us in the playoffs.
