It Feels Good Having A Good Football Team For Once

[Cody]

I've been a fan since I was about 10...I always got so much crap from people because I liked the Cards. Every season I thought "this is our year" and I was almost always let down. Finally I believe we will conistently have a solid team for the future as we have players that are good enough to help us win now, and are young enough to help us win in the future.

I am a little apprehensive to assume we will be good this year, but it certainly appears that all the stars are lined up for a another year of success.

I guess that's the old Cardinal fan coming out in me. When I look back at last year I still can't believe it. There are times I literally ask my son, "We were in the Super Bowl last year, right?".

Sometimes I pinch myself they were in the Superbowl also. then I remember the outcome...

It is kind of weird. The other day I was listening to sports radio talk show. They were going on and on about the horrible condition of the Coyotes, the DBacks' bumbling team and the Suns dismantling and missing the playoffs and then the host said:

THANK GOD WE HAVE THE CARDINALS!

Man, that was a long time coming.

Sometimes I forget also...feels good.

It puts a smile on my face, as cheesy as that is.

Go Cards!

That makes you a fan for about 10 years and that is great. But having been one for over 40 years, I hope your feeling is correct.

I did have friends call me last year and congratulate me, because they knew I was not a bandwagoner of the Cardinals. That alone helped make this journey as a Cardinal fan a little more fun and satisfying.

How great is it going to be to walk into the UPS wearing an NFC Champions shirt or cap on opening day?

No more bs from Cowboys and 49ers fans about their SB wins. We can now respond that at least we've played in one this century!

i'm so excited for this season. i know that the saturday night before our first game i will have a hard time sleeping, thats how excited i will be. right now i am imagining a bomb from warner to fitz. and if our running game is decent that will make our passing game even better

I've lived in NY for the better part of 10 years now, and my friends here (mostly NYG, PHI, NYJ, NE, and even DAL fans) LOVE that I've never stopped being a Cards fan. A ton of goodwill last year. Even with the heartbreaking loss in the SB, it's been a great season and offseason.

yeah to be honest after the super bowl was over i was sad, but i mean when i thought about it...we made it to the freakin super bowl!!! and played one hell of a game! normally we at least just want to make it to the playoffs, and we did muchbetter than that

The big turn around was the Carolina playoff game. For the Atlanta game, neighbors said, "wow -- kinda expensive to watch them get killed."

For the Eagle game, it was, "Can you get me tickets? I'll pay whatever it takes ..."

 

[IAWarnerFan]

What's with "good"? This is a great team and I expect more great things this year!

Are you from the St. Louis area?

no, cincinnati. it all started with my hatred of the browns and just blossomed.

I love the Cardinals. But we're not "good" unless we win the Division and make the playoffs again - which I am sure will happen. GBR!!!!!

The Final Dragon...

Having a very good year does have its carry-over perqs - 3 night games, greater roster-stability, practically no whining from the national local press corps or the fans & the chance to watch Fitz before each session of NFL Live or Total Access.

But come Sept 13, the slate is 100% empty - we're going to have to go out and prove we're good all over again.

Brings back those old primitive anxious feelings.

Perhaps a couple more years of success will make those underlying rumbles of doom vanish forever.
