my post game reactions

I decided that since today was the end of the line for the Cardinals this year, I would take a look back at my post game reactions to each of the games this football season. It has been quite a roller coaster ride this season. But at least we ended on a good note.

WEEK 1 VS 49ers: I don't know why I get so excited. The Cardinals lost, as usual.

WEEK 2 VS Seahawks: They won! They really won!!

WEEK 3 VS Ravens: they lost. They came back, but lost when Baltimore kicked a field goal with 5 seconds left in the game. suck.
They are 1-2.

WEEK 4 VS Steelers: They won! Congrats! 2-2. Awesome. We made it home in time for me to see the last 28 seconds of the game.

WEEK 5 VS Rams: They won. That makes them 3-2. Oh, and the quarterback situation worked itself out. Matt Leinart fractured his left collarbone. Well, that takes care of that.

WEEK 6 VS Panthers: Yes, they lost. And by lost, I mean not only the game, but another quarterback. Season looks shot to me...

WEEK 7 VS Redskins: Yup, lost. But I would not say they were beaten by the Redskins, because they had a million chances to win and blew them all. They could have easily won, but they just can't get their shit together. But, I will say that I am impressed with Kurt Warner for playing 99% of the game with his injured elbow. He did well for being hurt. Almost better than he was playing not hurt.
Next week is a BYE week, so at least they can't lose.
RECORD: 3-4

WEEK 8 - BYE

WEEK 9 VS Buccaneers: They lost, did I mention that?

WEEK 10 vs Lions: They actually won. If they can win a few more, the playoffs might actually be a possibility. But as any Cardinals fan will tell you, "Don't get your hopes up."

WEEK 11 VS Bengals: They won this one too! Wow. They are 5-5. That is impressive. I haven't lost all hope, yet.

WEEK 12 VS 49ers: Um, what the hell was that game all about? An amazing end to the first half... a hail mary in the end zone. A horrible end regulation... deciding to go for the the field goal instead of the touchdown. An even worse end to overtime... a made field goal taken away because of a penalty (delay of game!!!), then a missed field goal from 5 yards further way, then A FUMBLE IN THE END ZONE!!??!! What the hell is wrong with them? The 49ers had lost 8 in a row. What the hell? All that talk of playoffs must have gone to their heads.

WEEK 13 VS Browns: HEY, they won. Who knew?

WEEK 14 VS Seahawks: yup. Lost. Current record 6-7. The playoffs appear to have slipped away.

WEEK 15 VS Saints: LOST. Record: 6-8. What can I say? Penalties and turnovers will get you every time. Playoffs seemed to have slipped away...

WEEK 16 VS Falcons: Hey! They actually won. In overtime, by a field goal. But a win is a win. They should have won, though. The Falcons were 3-11 (now 3-12). They had that whole Michael Vick thing to deal with. Plus, their coach walked out on team two weeks ago without any warning. Yikes! Well, hopefully the Cardinals will win next week and end the season 8-8. All playoff hopes are gone, but at least it will be a positive season.

WEEK 17 VS Rams: They did it! They won! They won big. 48-19. It was so fun to watch. They were playing their hearts out. I am proud to be a Cardinals fan, playoffs or no playoffs. They ended the season with an 8-8 record. Congrats Cards.
