Well we survived another one inspite of some mistakes. Hopefully the next guy to get a pick in the end zone just takes a knee(unless its Rolle).
DRC gets the game ball from me just for saving us the agony of a Seahawk drive.

DRC is in the building!

Someone correct me if I am wrong but......I am pretty sure that if the Cowpukes beat the Niners next week we will win the division. Am I correct??

You guys can get on me for my pessimistic outlook but these last two games, save for the wins, were dreadful.

The play calling is questionable to say the least, we've needed a new punter all year, they lack discipline ( a fact evidenced by the huge number of penalties), and they've done everything except give the games away gift wrapped.

Winning is better then losing, no doubt about it, but have they turned the corner or are they just the "least" crappy team in their division?

If we play like this against the Giants, they'll get crushed.

After 51 years of following them I think I'm think I'm entitled to bitch a little and this is the place to do amongst fellow fans, no?

I don't want them to merely "make" the playoffs, I want them to go to the Super Bowl and win it, and they won't do that, playing like this.

I understand your frustration but can you give us at least 24 hours to celebrate our first win in Seattle in 5 years???

Normally we get crushed on the road against Seattle. Baby steps my friend.

Exactly. Any win there, in any style, was going to be a large step forward for our team.

still, this team has a lot to learn. Penalties and turnovers almost killed this team today.

Im confident we can learn on the fly. We have drastically improved our tackling the last few weeks.

WOW what a game man can't believe we have just won these past 3 games simply amazing. These may have not been the prettiest of wins but the cardinals of old would have found a way to lose at the end. Great job by DRC on that pick to seal the game amazing game by him great draft choice :)

No problem with wanting that. And wanting the Cards to kill everyone every game. But saying that we are going to lose the game and that Seattle is gonna win the division is where you got me. Even if we had lost the game today, we still would have been in great shape to win the division. That was the only reason I was giving you a hard time.

The Cards of "old" would have lost those games and be 4-6 instead of 7-3. 7-3........WOW that sounds good.........:thumbup:

I like the fact that now we've gotten to the point that not only are they picky about wins but they are picky on ROAD wins.

We now have more road wins (3) than we had last season (2) already

No,you don/t get to bitch. Not here. Not today.
Tomorrow? Maybe. We are 7-3 my friend. Three weeks ago we were 4-3 and the entire season in the balance. We were facing 3 division games with 2 of them on the road.
We came. We saw. We conquered.
FIFTY ONES YEARS. You said it yourself. Enjoy my friend. Drink it all in.

So are you saying "It's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game"??????

I don't remember CB Ralph Brown sneaking into the game but this kid can play.

The only problem I have with your post is that I didn't say EITHER of those things. Go back and check I said "IF" we lose the game we wouldn't make the playoffs. And I never said Seattle would win the Div if we didn't.

Well forget the kid reference on Brown. He's thirty. However, this does doe take away from his excellent play as defensive back today for the Cardinals.
