Turn out the lights, the party’s over. Dandy Don Meredith was feeling really blue.

Remember well.

 

[BigRedRage]

I was not alive.

 

[TruColor]

I wasn't old enough to stay up to watch it in its entirety, but my dad still talks about that one at length.

The first time I saw a Cards game on TV was this one. We had a B&W television, but some how I still saw those red jerseys.

Yes it was the Cards 1st monday night game

 

[lester]

To this day it's the 2nd worst defeat In Cowboy history..1st being Bears beating them 44-0 in their SB year

I remember all of those great wins. Ottis Anderson was one hell of good back in his prime. He came to the Cardinals along with Theotis Brown at fullback and they had a radio show in St. Louis called "The Ottis and Theotis" show. Unfortunately, Theotis Brown sucked and didn't last too long with the Cards. Meanwhile, OJ Anderson was eventually traded to the Giants after he developed a bad habit of avoiding hits and running out of bounds after being counseled by another player to to protect himself and extend his career.

I was two so I didn’t see it

how does it compare to knocking Dallas out of the playoffs in 88 and causing them to go on a ten year playoff drought?

 

[Cards Czar]

Ah what a game. I was 11 and watched it with my Dad on TV. It was in Dallas and the Cardinals ran for over 240 yards with 4 TD's. Johnny Roland had 2 TD and a punt return TD.

 

[Harry]

The Cards actually beat Dallas twice that year. However, you don’t want to know how the season turned out.

I was 10 old man...

 

[long_season]

I was not even a twinkle. Plummer wild card game was best for me. Worst was dec 25th at asu stadium 35 to 0 at half Dallas. I was at stadium... don't remember much after half. Bought a sweater at team shop cause I was freezing. Don't remember leaving. All I wanted for Xmas was a card win

 

[lester]

lol..not 38-0.. but not far off

 

[Jasper]

When this thread was started, I thought it was crazy. In no way I thought we were going to score 38 points.

6 years later, I was born. Loved to see it though. Need to see if I can find it on YT.

 

[Solar7]

That Plummer win was awesome.

I was in middle school in Vegas at the time, and an older guy was yelling at my dad and I in our neighborhood park about how the Cards had no chance. My dad's a skins fan, so I just had to tell this guy how much I believed in my team. It was awesome when we won. We built on that years later, but damn.

 

[PACardsFan]

I remember the 38-0 thumping very well. I was 12 & I still remember my Dad talking my Mom into letting me stay up for the whole game. I remember wearing brown corduroy pants for that game & I then wore the same outfit for every game that year. That ‘70 team was pretty damn good. If the Coryell years had the 1970 defense, they would have been really good. The ‘70 team had 3 consecutive shutouts that year: 44-0 over Oilers, 31-0 over Patriots, and then the 38-0 thrashing of the Cowboys. We then tied a very good Chiefs team 6-6. And that game was in KC. So we didn’t give a TD in 4 straight games. Unfortunately, they lost their last 3 games of the season & just missed the playoffs. Bidwill was so pissed, he fired Charley Winner after the season. As usual, a stupid move by BB. We then sucked until Coryell was hired in 73.

 

[Osbern61]

We actually lost the game that Ottis Anderson had his premiere, 22-21.
