Thank You For This ( insert your own adjective )  Season

Had someone told me in August that the Cardinals would be a wild card team that lost in the first round, I would've thought ' Hey, thats a n improvement '. Then if they told me how they did it, well, no way; just no way. This isn't the team I have rooted for, for over 40 years. I have never been so proud to be a Cardinal fan. Thank you for this transformative season.

Yes transformative; the team has changed, the organization has changed, the fan base has changed and my perception of them has changed too. During todays offensive debacle, with about two minutes left ; I believed that this team actually had a chance to pull it off. They couldn't run, certainly couldn't pass, couldn't punt , couldn't catch a break from the refs, had trouble stopping the run, a turn over in the red zone , a give away deep into our red zone; the most offensively inept team in playoff history …and we had a chance, and I believed that it was possible. That is an example of how this team is different, and my perception of it is different.

Everyone here at ROTB knows the devastating amount of adversity this team endued, and look how they dealt with it and just went about doing their buiness. How much this organization has grown and how it is finally beginning to garner respect amongst the NFL community. Most years, there is optimism going into the next because of a strong finish to the season; next year it is because this team was as good or better than every other team in the league, and next year they will be better. That is transformative. Thank you Coach Arians, Mr Kiem and Mr Bidwell for changing this team.

And thanks for the great job done by the entire ROTB staff.
