Make or break season for Cards

The buzz is already in the air. While I’m already irked at the fact that even four weeks before the NFL draft, in the middle of spring training and NCAA Tourney time, sports radio is all ga-ga about the draft. Of course everything is all speculation about each athlete discussed, but theymust persist.

So to combat that point, I’m putting the proverbial stake in the ground… If the Cards can’t put a playoff team on the field this year… season ticketsales will plummet.

2006 – The Cardinals left $16 M in their pockets and didn’t make the playoffs – AGAIN!

2007- The Cardinals are slow off the blocks in free agent signings, with a high salary cap and plenty in the coughers. And while they may have been right that Leonard Davis isn’t worth the money… he was the BEST player on the NFL’s WORST offensive line! How can the Cardinals let the best leave, which in the same breath makes the previous “worst” even worse!?!

Here’s the point, those season ticket holders remaining from last season are there this season in hopes of getting their little grubbies on one of this years Golden Tickets… remember, the Super Bowl is in Arizona next season. So there will be a lottery and everyone wants a piece of that pie.

The Cardinals have one chance left to make a name for themselves before the residents of AZ get wise to the greedy ways of the the Bidwells. While I’m not a fan, I wish the Bidwells and Cardinals would succeed. I don’t think the Cardinals have a chance while Mr. B. (and his son for that matter) is still driving. But I hope they prove me wrong.

In the end, if the Cardinals can’t put a product on the field that satisfies the expectations of the fans… the fans will leave which is unfortunate because there is plenty of star power on the field to watch.
