Top 20 moments in Arizona

[40yearfan]

I don't know if all of you have seen this on the Cards web-site, but it brings back some good memories of their times in Arizona.

That is a lame list when signing Emmit Smith is one of the top 20.

I could think of a list of 20 things that were more important than that.

I'm just happy we HAVE 20! lol

Im surprised that they did not include the Roy Green catch to beat the 49rs, after trailing 21-0 at halftime????

 

[RedViper]

Its a ridiculous list. A lot of those moments were moments that were supposed to be good moments but in reality were absolute disasters.

Why would they put the signing of Emmitt in there and then go on to say that it was basicly a waste because of injury and age.

Yeah, thats the one I had the biggest problem with. It was a stupid signing then and sure doesn't look any better in hindsight.

Its there(and it was 20-0 not 21-0 at half)...

6. Lomax and Green stun the Niners (Nov. 6, 1988)



It was the highlight of the Cards’ inaugural season in Arizona. The loaded San Francisco 49ers came to Arizona and built a 23-0 third-quarter lead against a Cards’ team trying to stay in the playoff hunt. But quarterback Neil Lomax found Roy Green for a 35-yard touchdown pass, and after an Al Del Greco field goal, Lomax connected with Ernie Jones for a touchdown. With 1:27 left, linebacker E.J. Junior stoned 49ers quarterback Steve Young inches short of a first down on fourth down.


Lomax then took the Cards 66 yards in seven plays, tossing a nine-yard touchdown to Green with three seconds left (click here for the video). The upset propelled the Cards to a 6-4 record, which they ran to 7-4 the following week. Unfortunately, Lomax also suffered what turned out to be a season-ending hip injury, and the Cards’ playoff hopes died with it.

Sheesh, what a bunch of grouses.

I thought Lomax's injury occured against the Giants.

You are correct. We won that game too, 24-17. The Giants had won the Super Bowl the year before, and the Niners went on to win the Super Bowl that season. I'd say those were the best back-to-back wins the Cards have had in Arizona.

Only the Cards would put a uniform change as a top 20 moment, how sad.

I was just gonna say.

Oh well, it was a good read.....but that is a lame top 20. It is not the authors fault, just lack of usable content.
