They haven't had a running game in one and a half eternities.
Many people will see nothing but the Super Bowl Arizona Cardinals. But that is a very thin (Four games) layer of perfume, on a very fat (19-29) pig.
Of course, there are plenty of holes that can be pointed out. Like these guys weren't even there for all of that pig portion.
Or that these guys did get the piss-poor Cardinals to the playoffs, then to The Super Bowl.
But I don't think that The Cardinals got much better. Just that the rest of that division got far worse.
Having said all of that, I don't hold the new staff responsible for the recent history of The Cardinals. But I don't really see a way to hold them too responsible for getting The Cards to The Super Bowl, either.
Hopefully, they will find success here. Rather that be through the type of changes that I would like to see made, or through running things in the opposite direction.
I've been through three straight seasons of poor football and have to grant at least one more to an all-new staff.
So, hopefully, these guys will be able to create a winner form what has been leftover from the previous staff.
Some how.
Some way.
Just give me something to really cheer about again.
Please.
