Even the crowd has given up

Just shows that no-one is gonna let this team ruin their sunday anymore. Good or bad, nobody was cheering today. Probably the worst crowd I have ever been in especially for a big rival just as this. The fans are done.

It's demoralizing to be there cheering your heart out, only to have a crap load of Cowgirl fans chant "defense" as your team executes it's 4th 3rd and out.

But I guess what counts is that there were fans there. I'll continue to show up. And cheer my heart out.

Yeah it was pretty quiet out there today. It takes a lot to get 65,000 fans to be quiet. Leave it to the Cardinals do just that. :rolleyes:

Why would you do that for a team that has so obviously given up? I could understand if they were leaving it all out on the field every week, but they aren't. A team that shows apathy on the field gets apathy from me as a fan. I'll support a loser only if they show heart and they did until after the Chicago game. That's when they lost me.

Exactly... I will support win or lose as long as they give full effort and heart... they are not, they don't care anymore... I will neither.

For whatever reason...this game was extremely boring. In the old days at least you could get a chuckle out of Jake fumbling/bumbling, the defense giving up big play after big play, etc. etc.... cowboys game.....more of a sleeper...just a slow boring game..two long plays on offense...but as previously stated the excitement on these two plays were shortlived due to 1) calling timeout after the long catch by boldin..kind of killed the mood..and 2) Fitz going out hurt after the 2nd long play...

Somewhere there are some puke fans who will be getting their roll of film back from the developer. One great shot will be of two of them holding their Dallas flag up, smiling for the camera...with my hand giving the thumbs down above their flag. :) Just after I did it a 70 year old Card fan patted me on the back and laughed. This season has been tough but the games are still fun.

Yesterday I slept in, got a couple errands done, grabbed some lunch, and arrived around game time. Left right before the TO touchdown, got out of the prking lot very easily and arrived home in time to plan dinner. I honestly don't have the energy for this team anymore.

The players didn't care and neither do I anymore.

If the D asks for more noise on 3rd downs anymore.....I'm likely to just respond with the Bird.

Why???? I made $900.00 on my 2 seats for the Cowboys game and went up to Oak Creek Canyon to enjoy a beautiful fall day. Much better time spent than at another Cardinals debacle.

I missed the Bears game meltdown . . .
I missed the Cowboys debacle and half-time show embarassment . . .
I'm going to miss the Lions loss . . .
Then, I'll miss the Seahawks beating . . .
Finally, I'm going to miss Plummer coming back to cream our butts . . .

At least I am enjoying Sundays again. I kind of miss Sun Devil Stadium. At least we played hard and had hope.

Good thing they had a players only meeting last Monday! I bet they talked about what they're going to be doing come January or maybe setting up some tee times!

I .

I agree. Can't even describe how nice the Bye Week was. 2nd year in a row my fellow STHers have told me just to take the extra tickets for the rest of the year.

You can't even give these damn things away...you ask a friend to go and they think you hate them.

I'll take my son to the game against the Lions. Then I'll be kissing 13 years of stupidity goodbye.

This season has been tough but the games are still fun.

I assume you are referring to the tailgating/pre game activities because that game was not fun.

Like many other people I thought it was one of the most boring games I've been to since, well, last season an it wasn't any fun.

Well seeing 100's of fans in the concourse sitting at tables watching other NFL games on TV was kind of funny.

It was the most boring game I have ever seen, period.

I can forgive losing, if the players are trying hard. But what I saw yesterday was a team just trying to get to the end of the year.

You could tell by the body language of the players as they were introduced yesterday that there was no energy whatsoever. The only two guys who jumped around were Lutui and Fitz. When James was introduced, he ran across the field with his head down, as if he was afraid to make eye contact with the fans.

I turned to the guys I travel with from Vegas and said, "it's going to be a long day".
