Yes, we were told we were worst playoff team in history. Went into Carolina as heavy underdogs in first game, beat the holy hell out of them. Then on to Super Bowl.

Is anyone else disappointed that Niners were missing their best player, McCaffrey, and our defense got 3 turnovers, and we only one by one point? I'll take the win, but so far, it seems like the only teams we can beat are those limping into games with their best players out, be in the Niners or the Rams. Given two of the Niners put up 8 catches and some serious yards, I can only imagine what would have happened if McCaffrey had been active. I feel like SF losing their kicker during the game was worse for them. |

Normally, I would be. I just see a Rams/Niners team which are beaten up now (worse than us) and it's a limited opportunity for what should be easier wins. As a Cards fan, I'm used to fate pulling out our rug. This just seems like a window for us to almost steal the division. And I don't want us blowing it. And when's the last time anyone thought we could win a division with less talent than most of us hoped we'd have by now? That's the issue for me. Blowing a unique opportunity. I know I shouldn't care since an early playoff exit is meaningless to me. I don't think we have any chance at much more than sneaking into the playoffs. I feel like I've heard this before.....I'm not exactly sure, but it may have been late in 2008.... Was that the year we ended up losing not one, but two QBs? Because that's a different animal entirely. And I'm pretty sure our defense had more talent then. |

I thought about the three turnovers committed by San francisco. None of them were self-inflicted. All three of them was result of an outstanding play by a cardinal defender.

Nah....that was the year the Cards went 9-7 and ended up in the Superbowl... Well, now that we've lost Hulk I'm willing to admit we probably have an equal amount of important injuries on our roster. As for the Super Bowl, we had Warner then, so it's a bit different story. With Warner, no one ever questioned QB mental make up or toughness. I can't believe that feels like so long ago. Has it really been 16 years? |
