I am on cloud 8...

With the Cards, I have learned to be cautious but Wow...4 nationally televised games, a 7-3 record and the expectation that we will win every week.

I have to be honest, like most of you, I am use to playing Madden or obsessively checking players and analyzing match ups for my fantasy league at this time of the year. Not thinking my Cards are really good and I expect a win every week.

-Whiz is a GREAT
-We have great players
-Rod Graves has done a very good job
...and who puts that together...Bill and MIKE Bidwill

GOOOOOOOO CARDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Me, too...

I'm VERY pleased with how competitive the Cards are these-days. The ONLY thing we might differ on is our "expectations". After 42+ years of football I've learned NOT to presume ANYTHING. EX: Denver started 6-0 and everyone said, WOW!! PLAY-OFFS here we come!! Doesn't look so certain now. TENN. started 0-6 and now, suddenly, has an outside chance at the play-offs. PRETTY WILD!!

Anyways, I've learned to just ENJOY the moment. Sure we were playing the Rams this past week. A game we SHOULD WIN!! BUT, I didn't think about being 7-3 UNTIL AFTER the game was OVER!! BUT, all things considered these are GREAT days to be a Cardinals' fan. ...And the National exposure can only help in the long-run. GO CARDS!

I agree. I think it can all be summed up, "WINNING FEELS GOOD!"

 

[CardLogic]

There is no way that I expect a win every week...


But I do hope for one!

Great summation SC-----'Winning DOES feel good'

AFter all the years of futility, it has become crystal clear why teams win or lose and are good or bad.

Good teams find a way to win. They overcome mistakes and bad calls. They come up with an unbelievable catch, run , throw or special team play.

Bad teams drop the catch that would have won the game. The DB slips and falls as the winning pass floats into the hands of his man. They fumble at the most crucial time of the game.


We have become a good team. We might not be the best team in football, but undoubtedly, we can hang with anybody on any given Sunday. We are feared and respected. We can beat you many different ways. We have great players in many positions. We are fun to watch.

We are 7-3......7-3! There was a time it would take us 2 years to win 7 games. Do you realize we are 6-1 over our last 7 games? That's no fluke.

Will the rest of the season go the way we want it to? We'll have to wait and see.

We are no longer the armpit of the NFL! We are Top Shelf baby!

I get you, great post!

I was thinking about this in the store the other day... I was pondering the remaining schedule for the Cards this year I had an epiphany.

I thought back to most of the 90's and most of the 00's and how I always dreamed, as a Cardinal fan, how cool it would be to have a team that was 'in it' every year. I really wanted that to happen someday...

Suddenly,,, it's here! MY Cardinals are for real and are competing year in and year out! I'm not saying I'm satisfied, I'd love our birds to bring home a Super Bowl, but I'll tell you this;

Dreaming up Playoff scenarios in late November is a heck of a lot better than scouting draft pics in early October!

GO CARDS!

What Bert said!!!

 

[lauraw]

Ive fantasized about the last 3 years of legitimate football under Whizz since 1988, when I came on board as a Cards fan, through Stallings, Bugel, Tobin, Buddy, McGinnis,etal to now when we have the real "Man with a Plan" or Staff with a plan..Its so exciting as Bert said so concisely, to really be in the race in Late November. I used to have reams of paper scouting the RB's or QB's I wanted the Cards to take , the Defensive players..

 

[mrbyte]

You know, if we find away past the Titans this week I think we will gain a hugh amount of repect and interest, and I think some of us too will believe that bit more.
but we hit them at a bad time we are banged up at LB and our QB is doubtful meanwhile they are full of confidence and desire.
its going to be interesting.........

I used to watch the Cards go for an upset at this time of year and would be stoked if they won. Now I get that uneasy feeling in my stomach every week, how wonderful.

With this team, I now expect that we CAN win every week. As opposed to, hoping for a miracle and a fluke upset.
