Been following the Football Cardinals since 1973. Seen some bad teams and good teams. Even if they have a 3 TD lead going into the 4th qtr I am not comfortable knowing they have a habit of finding ways to lose. Was texting my friend Wisconsin Card about this regarding yesterday's game. Well they found new ways to lose. Letting go of the ball 1 yrd from the end zone without being touched. It is football 101 to carry the ball through the endzone before dropping the ball. Then to top it all off they intercept the ball on their 10 yrd line but fumble the ball which ends up in the hands of a titan player in the end zone resulting in their TD. It is frustrating. Regardless I will be there every week watching them.

They could easily be 5-0 but are 2-3. They also could be 1-4 except for a dropped end zone pass by the Saints.

I have been following since 1967 and like you have seen plenty and kept coming back. Never considered not watching even at the worst of times. As that kicked sailed through the uprights for the Titan win yesterday I felt different. I now feel nothing for this team and I really don’t know if I watch again. I can’t muster a single positive and I really hate this team.

Us old long time fans got each other. The only thing I add is something I say often, I feel like we enjoy wins more than most because if the pain we've suffered through. If 2008 was the highlight of our football lives so be it. I'll still be watching every play hoping they can somehow turn it around and get hot.

Pretty much all we got…

We'll see you on Saturday in Indy. We must be masochist. But we juist continue the quest.

The Cardinals are my team and always will be! But right now I don’t even like this team. Gannon seems a bit arrogant for a coach who is about to get fired after this season. Give me a BA with emotion and personality. I no longer have faith in KM. I want a fresh young QB that is tough. Also too many injuries, players that are supposed to be good but won’t show up. It’s a trend with this team. Seems players were tougher years ago.
I love my Cardinals but they are a huge let down.
So disappointed in this group!
I’m no longer excited to watch this year. I get so excited for the season and anticipating the next game but now that feeling is no longer there.
Sad!

WC, truer words never spoken. A Super Bowl loss is the pinnacle of our fandom. How bad is that? 48 years has been a prison sentence with an occasional day outside.

This team has reached the levels of the recent suns teams. Teams I loved whom I just no longer care for. Teams that I’d kind of rather loathe. And while Mikey might say at least I’m talking about them, the bad news is I’m not dropping $$$ on this dreck. They aren’t even lovable losers. They’re just loathsome losers. No one buys a jersey for a loathsome loser. No one buys a new hat or tshirt for a loathsome loser.

Imagine spending good money on season tickets for THAT

LOL…the Cardinals called my wife today and asked if we would be interested in season tickets for next season.
The poor telemarketing salesperson was probably clueless about the bad timing of the call.
Not a chance I would give them $ to watch this team cave every game!

I slept well last night. Younger me would have been up all night pissed off. But maybe it's worse being so apathetic. This organization has traumatized me so much that I don't even care anymore.

I had real hopes this season that we were making the playoffs. I bought cards hat and a shirt which I haven't done in over 10 years. Thankfully I got that drinking cards hat with the martinis and bloody's..

Same here. A few years ago I would be pissed for a few days over a game like that, but now once the games over win or lose I move on. Not wasting anymore mental energy on this train wreck

Yup, me too. Now, I just laugh and have fun with the whole mess. Although I am astonished that the organization can continually fail like this—not sure how it’s possible.
