Jerry Jabber Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Yesterday on Twitter, the Arizona Cardinals posted the infamous “Hail Murray” photo on their Twitter feed. I think it’s funny, for a team that’s been in the NFL since 1920, been in three different cities [Chicago, St. Louis, Glendale] and has only won two championships in their 101 year history (last in 1947), I can see why the Cardinals keep showing this play as the Cardinals have absolutely nothing to show for. What a joke of a franchise! They’re the retirement home of the NFL. 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBonhamRocks Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I like to think that play fueled our subsequent winning streak. That’s how I deal with it at least. It’s gonna be a much-used highlight probably til Hopkins is outta the league. 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCbillsfan Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It was the highlight of their season. After that game, their season circled the drain. Meanwhile, the Bills went on quite a run. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the next time the Bills play the Cardinals that the Bills destroy them, especially for all the smack the Cardinals have been talking after last year’s game.

The funniest part about that play is that the Bills didn't lose another game until the AFCCG, beating team after team by double digits, while the Cardinals went into a complete tailspin and missed the playoffs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasNootz Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 We still show the occasional highlight and roll out players from the 90s - good for them on showing a highlight from this season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsrhody Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I get it, but that was also one of the greatest plays in NFL history from a pure athleticism and odds standpoint. I don’t blame them for putting it on a pedestal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The only Hail Mary I like watching a replay of is the 1981 Ferguson to Leaks on the last play of the game turning what would have been a horrible loss to a bad Pats team into a 20-17 thrilling come from behind win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the Cards fans on Twitter tried being witty with “How about them four Superbowls?” Seriously?! That’s three more than the Cardinals have ever been to.

It was an amazing play by Hopkins, not a bad play by the Bills. Maybe the best play of an entire NFL season. It is worth celebrating for them.... I don't think celebrating it is them rubbing it in our face. Our fan base is getting a little cocky. We haven't won anything yet either... but you know that.

They had a pretty crappy season otherwise, let them have this. And yeah, I don't want to become the Red Sox fans of NFL. It's almost as bad as when someone points out how loud Oh Hi Mark Stadium gets, some Chiefs fan inevitably waddles over to inform everyone that Arrowhead has the Guinness world record for decibel level in a stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is (also) funny about the "Hail Murray": had it not happened, Josh's TD pass to Diggs just a minute or two before, probably would have been one of the 2 or 3 greatest plays from our 2020 season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a difference between making four consecutive Superbowl’s and making a great play and continually showing it six months later, especially in the offseason. The way the team [Cardinals], Murray and Hopkins have gone on about this play is like they won the Superbowl with it. 5 minutes ago, aceman_16 said: Hmmmm...I dont see it as a big deal.

Captain Hindsight Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It was a great play. It sucked being on the short side of that, but it doesnt take away from it being a great play I do think its weird that AZ fans keep digging at the Bills. We play each other every 4 years.

If they poke a team in NFC then it might come back to sting them sooner. * equation is a multiple variable one whose derivation is left as exercise to user.

Pretty sure the Bills have only won two championships (last in 1965) as well and also played in Toronto. So I'm not sure what the point of attacking the Cardinals is? It was one of the greatest plays of the entire 2021 season, Taron Johnson's 101 yard INT being among the top 5 too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
