F Yeah!

Congrats, you deserve it. ...and earned it today, too. In the first half I think the crowd was a big factor in Ryan not getting into a rhythm.

Nice work.

sounded so loud on TV over here. there was one shot (i think it right before the safety) where they pan round and everyone was just going mental.

loved it - made me feel so proud. Thanks to everyone who was there.

Where are all those a-holes who said Arizona has the worst fans... they merely need to look at this game.

I wasn't one of them, but most any team can fill a stadium with passionate fans...but that's a very thin slice of the overall fandom. Fact is, AZ has probably the fewest passionate fans in the league, save for maybe Jacksonville. It's just true; go to any sports bar in the nation outside of AZ (heck, maybe even in AZ) and you'll find less Cards fans then any other.

I thought we were talking exactly quanity not quality.

Anyone who's stuck with the Cardinals is a great fan, orders of magnitude above normal bandwagon type fans.

There just aren't enough of them to fill a stadium in only red on some games and that's a shame but today......

Today they rocked!!

The Home Crowd was A Difference Maker! Multiple Atlanta Mis-Ques and Defensive INTENSITY that has been missing. 42 rushing yards for Turner ALL in the first half!

it was simply glorious. i don't think anyone in my family has any voice left. we left it all in the stands. the delirium would have made any east coast city proud. mayhem, thy name is cardinal fans.

and you could see the defense eating it up. feeding off it. that was terrific. 'cuz they really flew around to make plays.

Yeah I was at the game man that was sick that safty was awsome :). That had to be one of the sweetest moments of my life seeing the cardinals take a knee to win a playoff game WOW. But man my throat is so soar feels like I have strep but it was worth it way to go cards. I have never seen the cardinals play with that much energy ever pumping up the crowd during to putting their hands up wow at a lost for words feels better than christmas. GO CARDS GO EAGLES

Winning makes fandom loud and proud.

Hopefully gone are the days that the opposition fans are louder than the hometown fans.:stick:

Game was fantastic. The loudest the stadium got was the 4th and 6 that the Falcons ended up converting. I'm really surprised they got a clean snap off on that play.

Was a great experience. Seems like just yesterday I was 14 listening to home games on the radio because we never sold out.

I'm exhausted. I feel like I played a game today. Seriously exhausted. Also probably lost weight sweating in there.

What a great game, and great experience.

It was so so awesome. There were almost no Falcons fans. Maybe 1 in 25. The stadium was SO loud, the loudest its been by far and it started from the player announcements and almost never got quiet. The few times the fans started to get a little quiet, a huge play happened.. and after Rolle's fumble recovery for 6, it exploded and stayed exploded.

Personally, I am hoarse. My throat is killing me and I'd probably be wrecked tomorrow if I had to teach.. I'm very glad school doesn't start back up until Monday.

GO CARDINALS! This was the most fun game i've attended, not only because it was a play off win, but because there were so many others yelling and passionate... sure most of you won't come back next season and I'll have 3 rows of scalped out of state fans again... but it was very nice today.
