Arizona Cardinals: Merry Christmas to Birdgang

We at Raisingzona.com would like to say Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all

We know you have a lot of choices when it comes to reading up and discussing your Arizona Cardinals each season.  We want to thank you for taking the time to go on the bumpy 2016 regular season ride with us.

Hopefully with the Arizona Cardinals victory on Christmas Eve in Seattle brightened up some fans outlook going in to the offseason.  It definitely has been a season full of failed expectations.

However we can also look back and be thankful for a lot.  Despite all the missed kicks, special teams blunders, big play’s by opponents, team injuries, and disappointment in clutch moments, we stick together Birdgang.

So please take the time on Sunday to enjoy your families and friends.  While the Cardinals won’t be going to the playoffs, know that the Cardinals are coming home with a victory from Seattle for the third time in four seasons.

Indeed it will be a Merry Christmas.  We didn’t get the ultimate gift we were all looking for but we are lucky to be fans of such a great organization full of great people.

While we may only have one game left in the 2016 regular season, know that the Cardinals will get to work immediately on fixing the issues that caused the disappointment this season. Let’s also hope that Larry Fitzgerald can give it at least one more run in Arizona before he retires.

We already know Bruce Arians is returning next season.  It sounds as if Carson Palmer will as well. If Fitz is in, 2017 should be better.  There will be turnover on the roster but the team will field the best possible roster they can to put the Cardinals in position to make another Super Bowl run.

Be well, be safe this holiday Birdgang.  Thanks again for being who you are.  #BeRedSeeRed
