Something tells me if they had, Squirrel Boy would have skipped in from the 1.
It was hard fought, the Cards made a play to win it. Get rested up, get the defense patched up, and finish out the stretch run. We all know our defense has been the weak link this year... I've been encouraged with how they've played since the KC loss, all things considered.
I've seen other questionable defenses get in shape and play three good games in the postseason... maybe ours will too!
