You've Got Mail: The Season Has Ended

[Big Red]

"Hey Darren. Not sure if there's a question in here, but I just don't get the reaction everyone has to the Cardinals. From the media, opposing players, and even the fans themselves, it seems that the team is held to a standard no one else is. Calling for Kliff's removal after two years of growth? Sure, bet. Even the media, when we won games, would say it's not sustainable, a glitch if you will. But every game lost and the 'I told you so' would come pouring in. Heck, even if one if our star players would not have good stats fans would immediately ask for their trade. Even the worst NFL player is better than all couch coaches, and D.J. is right, we had the No. 1 pick just a couple of seasons ago, now we are 8-8. Let's build off that. Go Cards!"


I don't know if the Cardinals are held to a different standard. I'd be willing to bet if you comb through Vikings Twitter or Raiders Twitter or Cowboys Twitter or whatever, you're going to find frustrated and angry fans, some being pretty illogical. The passion bucket overflows at times. Don't get me wrong. Some of the criticism is fair. The Cardinals, some of Kliff Kingsbury's decisions, some of the play, it's far from perfect -- which is what an 8-8 record signifies. One team gets a pass, and it's the team that wins the Super Bowl. Everyone else, something went wrong.
