Dammit.
Every time the Cardinals give me something to get excited about, they go out and take a nosedive. The game against the 49'ers was about as disappointing as any game they've lost in years.
The offense finally starts to gel a little, and suddenly the defense that has been so dominating in the first four games of the season lays an egg. The same defense who hadn't allowed a touchdown in twelve quarters of football allows two in the last five minutes of the game--when we're up by 16 points.
Oh yeah, and two 2-point conversions.
And suddenly the guy who kicks the ball nearly to the end-zone on every kickoff can only manage to get the ball to the 20 yard line in overtime. We get the stop on 3rd down but wait--personal foul! Automatic 1st down!
Egads... what a horrible game.
How nice of us to give the 49'ers their first win of the season.

"Of all the dirty, rotten tricks to play on a battered fan base, this one belongs front and center in the scrapbook of shame."
