Cardinals point to 47-7 massacre by the Pats as reason for the turnaround - New England Patriots Forums

Patriots debacle woke up Cardinals

Motivation to get better after you are humbled by 40 points apparently was the turning point for the boys from the desert

Maybe if Arizona wins the Super Bowl Belichick will get a thank you letter from Whisenhunt for beating his team to a pulp in December

I hope AZ wins the superbowl, then Baltimore, then Phily then the Steelers.

So if Arizona wins the Super Bowl, that will be two teams in two years that can thank us for giving them motivation for a Super Bowl win. The '07 Giants and the '08 Cardinals. It's just too bad that one came at our expense.

I guess I'm an optimist, but, if you keep being the team people point to that made you feel good because they almost beat you, or that pounded you and woke you up, you'll probably soon get back to the promised land yourself.

In 06 we knocked on the door.
In 07 we pounded on the door.
On 08 we're going to kick the sonuvab!tch in.

Our tough loss against the Rams in 2001 marked the turning point of the DYNASTY

I myself is definitely a Cards fan this weekend-NO WAY I ever root for Philly.

Again-hardly anyone's giving them a chance against the Eagles.(including myself) However-it was the same story prior to the Falcons game, and then everyone thought Carolina would win by upteen points. I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled off another one tomorrow.

I remember that game-the Pats had control of it until Antwoine Smith fumbled at the goalline toward the end of the 1st half-otherwise, it would have been 14-3, and no way the Rams are able to utilize their passing game the rest of the way in that freezing weather.

Good memory. Rams marched right down the field and scored after that. Which now that I think of it is much like what happened in SD this year.
