Let's Remember Some Wins

[dreamcastrocks]

I'd say this was a great play, not a great win. We sucked out loud to choke that game to have to even get to the point to need the Hail Murray.

It was a memorable game. Even if it wasn't a great game. Definitely meets the criteria of the post.

Boomers comeback vs Eagles @ SDS

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Damn. If that's just off the top of your head, you'd have a list of 100 games if you did some thorough research

Cheese’s sports memory is freaky.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Pretty sure our record is 0-6. Season must have started, as I've heard plenty of experts say that we've already lost our first six games.

Vegas hasn't adjusted our win totals at all after the D-Hop suspension news...

I also just remembered that game we won on a 40 yard bomb from Jake to Martay Jenkins against Philly with like 5 seconds left that you, me and Pacman watched up in Santa Monica where we exploded out of that tiny little bar and went nuts on the sidewalk.

Wasn't the Cards/Packers wildcard game where Warner had more touchdowns than incompletions labeled by some as the greatest playoff game ever? I'll never forget the look on Mccarthy's face when he fell to his knees.

I was at the last game of the season the week before when the Pack won like 50 zip at UofP. Packer fans were insufferable and were positive they'd do the same thing the next week.

Wasn't that the week after the 500 yd Redskins game?

yup

I’ve got a photographic memory for all things that couldn’t possibly help me in any way shape or form in life!

 

[Zeno]

And the next game Johnson had like a 90 yard run against the Rams...

Yeah and if I remember right he didn't score but set up the winning score? I'd have to look it up but I think that is what it was.

Oh yeah… that was a great one too. Back and forth affair. My second favorite play outside the TD pass to win it was when Tobin decided to go for a surprise onside kick in the 3rd Q… that Philly perfectly caught and ran back for a 45 yard TD.

Guys what about the shootout last year between Jimmy Garrapolo and Colt McCoy?

I’ll be honest… I do think that was a pretty memorable game because I thought we had ZERO chance with McCoy at QB, much less be able to go into a division opponents house and just utterly destroy them with McCoy playing the game of his life.

That game was probably the high point of last year because it was the moment that cemented in my head that we were good enough to win a Super Bowl, as a team who could overcome injuries and rebound off a bad loss to the Packers and keep pushing forward.

Man, was I wrong!

That said, that game doesn’t come anywhere near my top 25 and it’s a reach of Plastic Man proportions to say it does, IMO.

I think that was the game I was at in Philly. McNabb's rookie year, IIRC. I remember walking out with my arms held high in victory and not a person saying a word to me, they were that stunned. In the parking lot some goober saw my Jake jersey and yelled that he's a wife beater. Confused, I told them he wasn't married. The poor guy threw his hands up with a "gah!" and went away. Good times.

And, good lord, does the name Martay Jenkins bring back memories of a bygone era.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Yep! He was close.

Heh you've told this story before.

MarTay was a disappointment. Dude had so much potential. Tallish and stupid fast.

 

[PACardsFan]

You've mentioned this game before PA. I think I will agree with you even though I was a toddler at the time, simply because of the fervor by which you describe the game. LOVE the story about rubbing in at school and getting detention! LMAO!!

Thanks Philly. I was 12 at the time, and I remember to this day what I was even wearing that night. Football fans can be superstitious & I wore the same shirt & pants every Sunday after that game. It was like 31-0 at the start of the 4th quarter and Meredith & Cosell we’re still talking about a Staubach comeback. It was the same story when we trounced Carolina in the 2008 playoff. Moose Johnston kept warning everyone that the game wasn’t over when it was 31-7 during the 4th quarter. Cardinals get so little respect.

They only kicked our butts because we sat most of our starters since we couldn’t better our playoff position. I know quite a few Packer fans & I warned them not to take anything from that season finale. They’re arrogant fans, so they were crushed when Warner dissected their #2 ranked defense.

Lol. That was the worst place to watch a cards game ever. What size was that tv? 13 inch?

Lol

 

[Syracusecards]

@BritCard says that four of the Arizona Cardinals' 25 most memorable wins occurred last season. I disagree.

Let's remember some wins:

Arizona Cardinals 32, Philadelphia Eagles 25 (2009 NFC Championship)
Arizona Cardinals 16, San Diego Chargers 13 (1998)
Arizona Cardinals 26, Green Bay Packers 20 OT (2015 Divisional Round)
Arizona Cardinals 33, Carolina Panthers 13 (2009 Divisional Round)
Arizona Cardinals 20, Dallas Cowboys 7 (1999 Wild Card)
Arizona Cardinal 18, Minnesota Vikings 17 (2003)

yes to every one of those.

But you weren't wrong. That team WAS good enough. They just hit a good amount of injuries and QB play wasn't that good.

 

[Cheesebeef]

But you weren't wrong. That team WAS good enough. They just hit a good amount of injuries and QB play wasn't that good.

Then they weren’t good enough yet. I don’t measure how good players/teams are when things are going well, IMO. It’s easy to be a front runner, which is what we proved to be. The true measure of a team and especially it’s leader is how he helps the team overcome adversity. Kyler and team face planted hard at the end of the season, against some REALLY bad teams or other teams completely wiped out by Covid. We were front runners last year.

Remains to be seen what we’ll be this year.
