Chime in if you had that same eerie feeling as I did.

But the Whizcards did not do it. Even though the refs did everything they could to deny a Cards victory, they pulled through.

The game was not nearly as close as the score. The Cards, and especially the defense, just dominated. Dominated two high-profile teams with winning records in a row.

Awesome play by the Cardinals today.

I was dreading going to work tomorrow and talking about the impossible way we lost this game.

This team is soooooooooooooo resilient.

Yep, I'm sitting there at the game thinking here we go again. But when the defense stopped them cold on the first 3 plays forcing them to punt, I felt that we would get damn good field position and get into field goal range. Low and behold we then went and blocked the punt and won the game.
My throat is still sore from all the yelling.

When the FG went in I just sat down while everyone was around me still standing at the game and put my head in my hands thinking, "this can't happen again". Hell even when we blocked the punt for a TD and I saw the flag I was still thinking, how are they going to give this to the Cowboys. But none of that happened, GREAT WIN!

Same feelings too. I tried to start to tell myself to prepare for the worst when OT began.

Then we held them on defense.

Then the blocked punt. Then the touchdown.

I then declared that the curse has been reversed with much elation, screaming and joy.

Oh totally. And I was emotionally preparing myself for a loss after the coin toss. Then the blocked punt. Jeez, Cardinals!!!!!

I thought of that game and about a dozen others I've witnessed in which we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yep, have to admit the Bears game was creeping into my thoughts!

Yea I also had those thoughts creep in, I don't know who didn't actually. Watching Barber run right through the entire defense I flashed back to Hester returning that punt and I started to feel sick to my stomach. Had a Cowboys fan actually giving me 'good game' props when we were up by 10 with a couple mins left and I'm like not yet dude, not until the clock hits zero not wanting to jinx it. Sure enough we almost ended up blowing it and I'm telling the guy see what I mean. Well at least I know how those Bears fans felt after that Monday nighter. It took long enough but damn it feels good!

With time running out and a 10 point lead, I slapped one of my friends at the game on the back and said, "It's a great time to be a Cards fan!" And he said, pointing at the clock, "Don't you remember the Bears Game?"

Right then a huge chill went down my spine, and of course moments later we only had a three point lead, and my friends were looking at me like the biggest jinx in the world.

So, I guess you have me to blame for the end of the game drama.

But I had told the same guy in the first quarter that it was going to be our Defense that won the game for us, and when Dallas won the overtime coin toss I said, "That's exactly what we need, we're going to stuff them here and block the punt". (I've got 10 eyewitnesses with signed affidavits that I really said this )

I think I broke my own jinx; so I guess you have me to thank for the win, too.
