Of course, we know all too well the great successes this strategy has brought us in the past, not to mention the disservice it provides to fans spending good money in making the trip. I am at the point where those coaches and players who dream of the upcoming draft riches can very well do so on their couch or on another team. - - - - - Facing a third and short on their own side of the field, Arizona designed a comically pathetic deep throw that had even our receivers holding their hands up incredulously. The ensuing fourth down failure essentially sealed the team's fate, though any real glimmer of hope was later extinguished after a poor fielding error on a punt and a two-minute drill that never got off the ground. - - - - - Yeah, "injuries," I know. "Hasn't lost the team" Fantastic. How about 0-7 in games decided by four points or less? Play to the mean winning roughly half of those and we have a very different story to tell. It comes down to leadership and the 2026 season should see the start to yet another rebuilding process. NEXT WEEK, LOS ANGELES RAMS: The Cardinals are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention and have also clinched last place in the division. And all of this before December officially rolled around. No prediction this week. THIRTIETH SEASON UNDERWAY - - - - - As you've probably already noticed, "The Cardinal's" Nest, the Internet's longest-running website dedicated to the Arizona Cardinals, has undergone a few changes over the years as we embark on our 30th season.

	"THE CARDINALS ARE CHARGING" THE CARDINALS ARE CHARGING LET'S CHEER THEM ON THEIR WAY LET'S SHOUT OUT WITH ALL OUR MIGHT WE'LL SHOW 'EM HOW A TEAM CAN FIGHT FOR VICTORY AND GLORY WILL MAKE OUR JOY SUPREME THE PRIDE OF ARIZONA OUR ARIZONA CARDINAL TEAM "The Cardinals Are Charging" was written for both the St. Louis Baseball and Football Cardinals on June 29, 1960. Although the baseball team stopped using the march several years later, the fight song can still be heard at all home football games for the now Arizona Cardinals. The music and words were composed by songwriters Irving Bibo (1889-1962) and Larry Kent. Originally, the lyrics had "all St. Louis" in place of "Arizona" (Line 7), and "St. Louis" instead of "Arizona" (Line 8). Download from the following versions: Real Audio, and MIDI.
