One play after another goes the Cowboys way and we still make the plays in the OT to win it. What a great job by Morey.

One thing, Whiz dodged a bullet letting Kurt throw on 3rd down there, yes the clock ran after the sack but by taking that sack he gave Dallas about 10 yards on the change of possession which was the difference in them getting into FG range.

To his credit, he and Pendy went after Romo and the D won it.

Huge win, arguably the biggest win in 10 years for this franchise.

That was the most bizarre ending I've seen in a long time.

I just hope Romo and company have just as bad of a game when they go to Pittsburgh in December.

Congrats Cards fans!
Go Steelers!

Man I thought the REFS were going to hand the win to the cowboys. The sure tried hard to. Great to see the Cards overcome the bad call and get the win.

Holy crap.

I'm in a bar, and when we didn't get that last regulation first down I cursed. He says, "hey man, you've got a 10 point lead with 5 minutes left. You guys'll be fine."

I said, "you don't follow the Cards much, do you?"

But, despite being F's by the refs in the first half and despite a shifting momentum, the Cardinals pulled out a TRUE team victory. The defense was awesome (save for the MBIII catch and run), the offense moved the chains both on the ground and in the air (holy moly, do we finally have an offense that can run a screen?) and ST won the day ... TWICE!!

F yeah!

Coaches almost gave it away but what a proud performance. This is a new breed of Cardinals. The bye week is good right now with three of four on the road coming up - GBR!!!!!

Outstanding team effort!

This is a different Cardinals team than any in recent memory. They will not be denied, even when the officiating is absolutely slanted against them, even when the opponent mounts a fantastic comeback, even when the offensive play-calling is too conservative early on.

I loved when A-Dub got in Todd Haley's face after the Dallas TD at the end of the first half. I'll bet he said something like, "Throw the freaking ball will you?" Todd nodded. And Thank God they did open the attack in the second half. And Thank God for Tim Hightower's effort on that critical third down play. And Thank God for Sean Morey and J.J. Arrington and Steve Breaston, and Reggie Wells and Mike Gandy and Larry Fitzgerald and Edgerin James and on and on.

Tony Romo said that was the best defensive front he's played against recently. Mega kudos to Darnell Docket, Bertrand Berry, Chike Okeafor, Travis Laboy, Clark Haggins, Gerald Hayes, Karlos Dansby, Adrian Wilson, and Calais Campbell. Those guys brought it today!

oh, and while I'm sure it's mentioned in game threads, I haven't seen it...the refs took 7-14 points from us!! Can you believe the Cards OVERCAME adversity to win?

Anyone who questions Whiz needs to look at the intestinal fortitude shown in this game and ask themselves if they've seen this kind of toughness out of a Cardinals game in their lifetime.

we overcame the refs AND ourselves... that NEVER HAPPENS.

That's the greatest win in a decade. Emotionally, after all the crap I've been through this summer, I DESPERATELY needed to see that. Physically, it's gonna set my back a couple days, but it was damn well worth it.

Oh my god. That's all I can say.

Usually we would just roll over and die. It's weird, I actually feel.....what do you call it? Hope? I have this strange feeling that lasts throughout the entire game now.

All season I haven't been bothered by 3rd and 7's. I think that's totally attainable--by both sides of the ball. They're playing football like an NFL team.

I'm positively giddy.

I almost had a heartattack... man, oh, man... what a game, what a WIN!!

When Morey blocked that punt, I jumped up from laying on the couch so fast and screamed that I got dizzy and fell to the floor. No B.S. It was scary but loved the ending. WOW!!!!!!!

lol. i fell to the floor in a ball with my head on my hands, rocking back and forth . . . isn't there some mental disorder that looks like that? my girlfriend, who is slowly becoming a cardinals convert couldn't stop laughing. she was chiding me the whole time for not being more optimistic (i'm generally the one with the optimistic outlook on life and she thinks life sucks) . . . looks like new cards fans have it right!

You need to add Clancy Pendergast's name to that list. We continuelly bashed him for his schemes on this board, but today he came up with a game plan to take away the Cowpies best weapons. A++ today, Clancy!!!
