My heart is cracked but not broken. The Cardinals fought the Steelers like it was a heavyweight slugfest. This team clad in red has zero to be ashamed of. I am proud of the Cardinals to my core. And I look forward to what next season brings.

A steelers fan here. I mean this as true as anything.

When Fitzgerald broke free and scored, I said If we lost we lost to a great team and not too mention a high character team.

I said, I would go online and give you the kudos you deserve and even now I do empathize with the feelings of the loss.

Hopefully Warner comes back and you guys beat the Patriots 45 -10 next year to be Champions of the World.

Exactly, it almost feels like we won because they went out there and played so dang hard. I've never been a fan of the "well we tried" point of view, but tonight they played a **** fine game

I agree.

The Old Cardinals broke my heart. The ones that had so much potential, but went 5-11, the ones that lost to the Bears on Monday Night Football, the ones that got destroyed by the Patriots in the New England snow.


These Cardinals are nothing to be ashamed of, or sorry about. I'll be proud as ever when I wear my Cards gear tommorrow.

Ditto, it almost felt like we won, but without the jubilation and such. Almost like an entirely emotionless win (if there is such a thing), and then you kind of realize that we lost, and you start to feel bad, but then you realize how hard we played, and how much this means for this franchise.

I'm not retiring my Cards hat tomorrow, either. I'm proud of the way they played, and I know for a fact they'll be back in the big game again.

Just like our Sooners, right?

I don't know what kind of respect you mean, but if it's the respect of the national media, we have earned more than we could ever had winning. They are perfectly satisfied with the result and our team played good so they play the good loser card instead of the ultimate fluke. Sad but true, I think...

Pats Fan Here. Hey, thanks man for idolizing the Patriots, they sure deserve it! As for the Cards, Man What a Game!!! I was actually going for Pitt at the start, but by the end, the insane effort and passion these guys put forth tonight is unmatched, and I found myself rooting for AZ!!! I just wish I could have seen that in the PAts last year. My New England hat is off to the Cardinals, from someone who didn't give them a snowballs chance in heck, you proved me and the rest of the NFL wrong. Here's to next season folks, Rookie's report in 5 short months!!!!! A steelers fan here. I mean this as true as anything.

Amen!

You know, I wish Matt Leinart the best... but I would be thrilled to see a certain other Heisman winner play in the desert one day.
