NFL, Cardinals Fans React to Unbelievable Collapse vs Giants

Even in a year where we have no expectations for the Arizona Cardinals, they still find ways to break our hearts.

Thankfully, we have Twitter (X) to get us through the pain and as per usual the tweets/posts made us feel a little bit better.

Let's not waste more air than we need to here and get to laughing through our pain.

How to best describe this game...

Yeah, that definitely feels right.

On one hand, you have to be upset because this was a crushing loss. On the other hand, you are only making your odds for the top pick in next year's draft that much better.

This is also a very good explanation of what happened.

But this has to be the front office more than anything else.

This awkward moment from Jonathan Gannon during his first visit with the Cardinals has become bulletin board meme material. This has to be one of the best executions of that meme.

Apparently Eagles fans can share this painful experience with Cardinals fans.

The defense played a stout game to start things off, but eventually things came unraveled. A big reason why was the play of Saquon Barkley.

If you missed the game, this is a great depiction of what Barkley did to the Cards defense.

The choke left us all scratching our heads and digging deep for explanations. Honestly, a lot of us probably look like this trying to do so.

I leave you with the most depressing stat from this game...

Cardinals didn’t punt until the fourth quarter and still lost

I lied, I am leaving you with this instead.

It truly doesn't get much worse than that.
