I love us to life, but I can't agree. Our "fanbase" isn't as long suffering as the Browns or Lions. Real talk, if we ever do win it, will you see scores of people in tears in the street? People yelling to the skies "dad we did it!"? Endless stories of decades of misery? I can PROMISE you if someone has a camera on me at that time, you will see emotion the likes of which you've never seen in a sports fan, but I can't confidently say that about the majority of Cards fans. Not being dismissive, but just speaking perception after having been a fan of this team for almost 50 years.

I remember you posting a video of you running thru the neighborhood on here a few years ago. I just can't remember what it was for?:?:

It was like you were a crazy wild man.:D

“If we can prepare and we can execute, and we don’t look at the names on people’s helmets, and we can play the same every week and learn how to finish off games and close games out — instead of getting a lead and just taking plays off, or not having a lead and having to come back late,” Bowles said.

While it’s not a direct admission that the team took plays off, the context makes the message clear.

“You just want to play four quarters and you want to go out there,” Bowles added. “And I think we have those types of alpha dogs on our team right now that will make this team to elevate to that. When they start coaching themselves and don’t need too much coaching on the sideline, that’s when you know you’ve arrived.”

The moment we beat Philly for the NFC Championship, the entire stadium was surreal. Everywhere you looked, you could see tears streaming down men's faces. The feeling was unreal. Everyone but my daughter in law, she said, "It's not like we found a cure for cancer".
And when Fitz scored that touchdown in Tampa, the same feeling was there again, only to have Lucy pull the football away from us again.

I was at both of those games. It was crazy after the NFC championship game. I told my son after that TD "we could win the effing Superbowl. Then right after that I said "but we left them too much time.". Oh the pain it's back now...:ban:
