Confession: I almost had my tickets to last week’s Steelers game sold to a Steelers fan at an inflated price. Fortunately for me, Beandipdodg persuaded me not to sell the tickets. He was right; in the eighteen years of Cardinals season ticket ownership, I have never been to a better game. The Cardinals played the entire game with high intensity and hard hitting you normally don’t see. This was a total team effort by the offense, the defense and the special teams. Even the 12th man showed up—the energy in the crowd was electric and eventually caused three false starts by the Steelers.
Two of the best plays we have seen in a long time occurred on Sunday. First of all, Adrian Wilson turned around what could have been a typical Cardinal Play when a high snap to Kurt Warner led to a Steelers recovery on their four-yard-line. But Adrian Wilson’s timely interception in the end zone saved the day. Also, Steve Breaston’s punt return for a touchdown was a moment not soon forgotten. The Cardinals have not had a punt return for a touchdown since 1993. Unbelievable.
Optimism is now at an all time high for Cardinals fans. Whisenhunt is on the right track and we hope to see the Cardinals ready to play the Rams this week. Let’s just hope Leinart realizes that we don’t want the team to “ride or die” with him; Cardinals fans want a win, period. Matt, after you win your first championship, then you can start shooting off your mouth. Until then, let the Whiz do his thing. It seems to be working.
