What a win!!

[Wildfire]

Being surrounded by Cowboy fans at a sports bar in Frisco, TX, all I can say is "GREAT WIN".

It really felt great to see all the cowboy fans suffer a heart break loss, the same thing that has happened to us for way too many times in the past.

I really enjoyed seeing the cowboy fans take the loss, probably just as much as the Cardinal fans enjoyed watching the cowboy fans cry at the stadium.

Just my humble opinion, but this is a bigger win than the 98 win in Dallas.

Awesome to have another Cards fan living in Dallas!!!

From NFL.com

It was over when ...
Sean Morey blocked a Cowboys punt in overtime and Monty Beisel picked up the loose ball and stepped into the end zone. The score capped a strange finish that featured a 10-point comeback in the final three minutes by the Cowboys. It was the first time in league history a game ended on a blocked punt return for a touchdown.

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!!!

My bad! Tony Romo said as much in his post-game comments. Someone asked why it took so long to get the offense going. He said something along the lines of it took us a long time to figure out what the Cardinals were doing on defense. Not only did the defense play with great effort, but the scheming really confused Romo and the Cowboys offense. And we needed that early on when the offense couldn't get out of its own way.

With the exception of a couple of passes in one series, T.O. was basically eliminated from their offense.

I am starting to feel about this team the way I did about UCLA when I realized that HOwland's UCLA wasn't going to quit and get blown out the way Lavin's did. I feel the same way now, Whiz's Cards won't fold under bad calls or adversity the way Green's and prior coaches Cards did.

We finally have a coach who has gotten the team to believe they can overcome adversity.

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!!!!!!!

I jumped into my 13 year old brother's arms and made him hold me up while I acted like I had won the game. Was beautiful. Glad he held onto me.:iwin:

I think the key thing is that everyone has finally bought in to what Whiz is selling. The biggest difference is in Warner, IMO. We're throwing the ball 30-40 times a game now but instead of Kurt going deep all the time and winging the ball around we're getting more of those shorter passes that Whiz wants. With Kurt's accuracy a 5-10 yard pass is practically a handoff. We might be the league's only ball control passing offense.

My wife came running into the room and asked if I were OK. She said she couldn't tell if I were shrieking in pain or not. She thought I'd had a heart attack!

Which would be funny, given how many teams are still running the Bill Walsh "West Coast Offense".

 

[red desert]

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.

Greatest win in a decade, no doubt.

Get well, brother.

You make a compelling point.

 

[Assface]

See, this is what the team is capable of when Cardsfanmd isn't in attendance.

 

[Redheart]

My son and I went to this one together; we both left horse and happy!

The best win I can ever remember seeing in person; one that I, or my son, we will never forget.

Wow.

 

[IndyDevil]

Absolutely. Positively. SWEET!!

I haven't gone that ballistic over a game-ending play since Game 7 of the '01 World Series! Not only did the Cardinals pull out a victory, but they beat the MF Cowboys in the process - - what could be better than that???

 

[thirty-two]

I am still in shock. I really was feeling pretty negative after their 10 point comeback + winning the toss. Unbelievable win.

 

[ajcardfan]

It was certainly the greatest victory I ever attended. I can't say it's better than the playoff win, but WOW! I know I got more of an adrenalin high at the end.

The emotional swings were extreme. I felt sick when Dallas won the toss for OT. Absolutely sick. The way it ended was just pure delirium!!!

 

[SuperSpck]

I jumped into my 13 year old brother's arms and made him hold me up while I acted like I had won the game.

 

[slanidrac16]

I really thought we were destined to lose this game about 35 times. Even in OT , we sack Romo and the ball literally bounces right back into his arms.

I can only compare two other games with this one. The 98 playoff victory over the Cowboys and the Mel Gray catch/no catch/ td against the Redskins back in the 70's.

But NO GAME EVEr had the emotional ebb and flo that this game had. I aged 5 years today.

Absolutely but most particularly the guy next to us who paid big $$ for tickets and tried to start a fight with me

 

[dscher]

Well, I cant say anything that all of you have already pretty much stressed about this win!!! But wow.. I am an EMT for 911 here in AZ and we got to sit for the entire game without a call (Thank god!!!) and my heart went through quite the beating, literally. I was definitely getting very loud with both of our crews in the station. I swear, what an amazing game. Ever since Whiz got here and had his first press conference I just immediately knew the guy was a winner.

Did anyone see him during his first couple minutes of the post game conference? He definitely sounded like he was getting choked up about how gritty of a win it was for the team and sounded very hoarse with his voice when he brought up the fans and what kind of an impact they had as well. What a great guy and team. The team definitely reflects the personality of its head coach and coaches, and in my mind, that is a good sign of things to come with this team while Whiz is under the helm...

 

[Cardiac]

Except for SWD17 I think we all appreciate what Whiz means to this franchise. We truly have a home field advantage and even though the teams performance has area's of opportunity they are moving the needle at an impressive rate. As many have posted the Cards not only had to overcome their own mistakes but a less than "perfectly" officiated game. The crazy thing is that I do have more confidence than EVER that the Cards will win a game that previoulsy would have been a loss.

 

[Stallion]

Congrats to Cardinal fans everywhere!

I always feel happiest for the people on this board when the Cards win, and this is one for the ages.

GO CARDS!

 

[Evil Ash]

Did u see the look on Jerry Jones face? Priceless

LMAO. Sorry its not the best quality since it was off of my camera phone but here it is for those that haven't seen it

Did fans in the stadium see A-Dub screaming at the back judge early in the game when Dallas let the play clock expire and it was like 2-3 seconds later and the officials still hadn't throw the flag and stopped the play?

The Cardinals certainly didn't get any benefit of the doubt Sunday. It was borderline on Fitz' first TD catch IMO. I'm not totally convinced his second foot was on the out-of-bounds line though it was close.

 

[Osbern61]

Was it just me or were the last 4 seconds of regulation the longest 4 seconds of our lives?
