Nice Home Game.

Bidwill is a complete joke, he gives up a home game. Only to have them paint 49ers in the endzone. Are you kidding me.

I guess how can he acually demand anything from the NFL.

 

[jstadvl]

Is

one side done with theirs and one with ours?

All I know is we don't paint 49ers at SDS. It should be all Cards.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

What a joke !!

You've got to be kidding?!



Way to go Cardinals!!

Out of 32 teams, only Cards could have done it... what a loser, moronic organization.

 

[AZ Sports Native]

They may as well paint opposing teams logos at SDS for all the opposing teams fans that show up at every home game. What a loser of an orginization. Why has God forsaken us so with such an awful franchise??? What must we do to rid ourselves of the Bidwill curse? Eh, I'll still be rooting for 'em Sunday though.

 

[AZ Shocker]

My goodness, so it's really not a "Home Game"..?

 

[English on tour]

what a joke!

 

[Scott MS]

What a sad joke. I was totally against this game from day 1 and we may not have seen the last of this catastrophe. I think it will get much worse.

A couple of days ago Total Access on the NFL Network was talking about the game in Mexico. The camera panned across the t-shirts they are selling for the game and, of course, they were still using the old Cardials logos on all the merchandise!

 

[Toro]

They have a new logo???? Kidding but I hear that from people all the time.

 

[PACardsFan]

It's common knowledge that about 75% of the fans will be rooting for the Niners. Then again, the same would hold true if the game were being played at SDS.

 

[RedViper]

Outside the very few fans that still pull for the Cards, no one wants to see us win this game. All of Mexico will be expecting to see the 49ers trounce the living crap out of the Cardinals. I'm convinced the NFL would just as have Mexico get what they expect in this thing. I'm not even convinced the Cards organization want to win either. They've rolled over every possible way in this thing, timidly giving up a home game, as a team that has one road win in 2 years. The NFL signed us up to be the Washington Generals for this thing and the Bidwills are just too lame to even protest. Nothing has ever sickened me more about this team than this game and the fact that the organization is either too greedy, too stupid or too scared to lift a finger to protest.

Pathetic.

 

[jstadvl]

This has nothing

at all to give anyone reason to badmouth the Bidwills. From what I get, they did for revenue and exposure. I never was for the deal, as one of the few that makes pretty much every home game, but it happened.
We're going to win this one and put a needle in the "screw the Cards" balloon.
That said, I think it's really lame to keep looking for ways to bash tje Bidwills.
Actually,I've found it, as a fan, to become as sickening as the " dancing on the grave" of one of our current or past players, no matter how well they do.
It gets old after awhile.

"..And in this corner.."

Cmon guys, this whole thread is lame itself!!

This is an historic NFL, not only Cards opportunity, and while we did give up the home game, we obtained some financial and preferential future considerations of some type, I heard..Or thought I read..
So is the problem that "Cardinals" isn't in both endzones, or is it that "49ers" IS in both end zones?? This is a neutral sight, hence both logos like a Bowl game, and no matter what we gave up to be seen on National TV on ESPN, I for one would rather the Cards give up the one game atSDS which many call a neutral field anyway, and have the whole country get a looksee at what the Cards are becoming[the beginning of this year not withstanding], especially defensively..
I know we haven't showed what we're all about yet, and yes I have been at the front of the Dennis Green-Oline-Clancy bashings, but no eternal offense meant-you all sound like a bunch of old women complaining about how nobody likes us Cards fans "BooHoo"!! Jstadvl, I'm calling these so-called through and through Cards fans out-- Their descriptions of the Cards organization, dripping with bitter sarcasm[from the Latin "Ripping of the flesh" et al cannot go unchallenged by other loyal and true Cards Fans such as myself.
I will not call our team losers, pathetic, sad jokes, "noone wants to see us wingames" [Who Cares? Bend 'em all over, I always say!!] Saying the NFL is setting us up to be the "Washington Generals" [to the Harlem Globetrotters I presume,] "A loser, moronic organization", this neutral sight game "a catastrophe", "not convinced the Cards organization wants to win either", "Cards rolling over every way possible..", "timidly giving up a home game..", "Bidwills too lame to protest..",

Red Viper, The last sentence of your post especially surprised me, because I thought the Bidwills sought this game out; they were not coerced in any way were they?
I have not read that spin put on the motives the Cards operated on in seeking out this game, but perhaps I didn't see an article, or interview, etc..

JstaDvl, I am trying hard to look respectfully at each person's motivations and frustrations on this thread about our 0-3 start. I know the vast majority of the posters in this thread bleed Cardinal Red and White even as I do..This season, so far I feel at turns repelled, betrayed, cursed, Hate the Cardinals, hate the Bidwills, Really Hated Dennis Green until his abrupt turnabout that it wasn't bad coaching[or not enough coaching ]ie from assistants and play from HISHishis players, then shouldered the bulk of the blame and responsibility, as a leader should[HAS TO] after Seattle, BUT STILL 2 WEEKS TOO LATE!! So now I've lost alot of respect for the head man.. Uh Oh, dissension within my mind and heart..Not Good!

My point to all fellow Cardinal Fanatical, fantastical "troopers"[no offense meant towards our uniformed men and women all over the world, GOD Bless Them!] is let us all together search for some perspective among the disappointing start, interesting middle, and fantastical finish The Cardinals will provide for us this year!! Circle the wagons, Our Cardinals are bloodied and raring to go at the scratch line! We will not stop, we will not waver-
All of us, current frustrations notwithstanding, will strive to the limitsas will our Cardinals, because Cards fans deserve it, the team deserves it, and ownership deserves it.
Sorry about the soapbox everyone, please throw bricks, they usually chase me off the box!

I was pissed at first, but this is a great point. So what? Let's just win the damn game and enjoy the fact that we'll be able to see it on TV for a change.

 

[Stout]

DVL, it's the fact that everyone's still giving lip service that this is a home game, and yet our team and its management doesn't even seem to care how badly we're getting screwed. At least Haslett had the gumption to cry foul when the Saints got royally screwed in their 'home game'. We just follow along, nod, and 'take it' when we get screwed. Quite frustrating for the fans, and the Bidwill's deserve every bit of abuse they get over it.

 

[bratwurst]

This was never a home game. We GAVE UP the home game. Its a neutral field. If anyone still clung to the idea that it was a "home game" they had blinders on.

How did we get screwed? We agreed to this!

The Saints situation is completely different, its the apples v oranges thing.

 

[Scott MS]

There were pages and pages of threads about this back in April. I'm not trying to rehash this argument again. But, as much as I hate to say it, our friend Bickley seemed to hit it right on:

This was supposed to be the season where the Cards started turning it all around. New stadium next year, new uniforms, they had the press drinking the Kool Aid, the fans were drinking the Kool Aid, the words "Division Winner" were being thrown around.

Now, after a 0-3 start, what once looked like a fantastic opportunity to get on national TV and showcase the Cards might very well be a chance to show the nation who the worst team in the NFL is. A beating by the 49ers will surely convince our fellow Valley residents (and the entire nation for that matter) that their hometown team they have been hearing noise about is still horrible.

That's is exactly why I don't think we've seen the last of how bad this will be. I think the Cards lose and they are hurt far more than helped. That is my opinion. No criticism to the Bidwills or the team (because I think the NFL made them play in this game), but as I said in another thread, "I don't think you could have written a worse script if you tried."

I know the Bidwill's probably agreed to making it a neutral-field situation, but they did so behind the scenes then. From what the fans have been told, this is still supposed to be a home game. Well, it's not evening being treated as the home game it's supposed to be, and now the Bidwill's are conspicuously silent. Just another situation where they come out smelling like poop.

Like I said, they probably agreed to make it a neutral-site game behind closed doors, but the bullcrap they fed the fans was that this was a 'home away from home' home game. Any way you slice it, we've gotten the shaft.

 

[Red Dawn]

We agreed to this? I didnt agree to this. I didnt agree to pay the same price for 9 games as I would have for 10. The only upside to this I can see is it should be 16 years before its the cards turn to play in a foreign land again.

Adam Schefter (sp?) on the NFL network just said the Cards will be wearing their road white uniforms because the red uniforms WONT BE READY UNTIL WEEK 9!!!! Surely this must be a mistake, did someone forget to order them or something? If true, that is just plain embarassing for management IMO.

I chug the koolaid but I can see the dark side from here.
