In 1967, the first Super Bowl was officially held, which also means that the NFL has entered the era of the Super Bowl, and it has made rapid advances in business and marketing. However, until this year, the Super Bowl has only held forty-four sessions. Compared to those ancient football leagues, history seems to be insufficient.
In fact, the history of the Rugby Union can be traced back to 1920. It has gone through a period of ninety-one years. In the long history, it has witnessed countless rises and declines, and has also accumulated countless grudges and hatreds. . When people mention the oldest team in the league, the Green Bay Packers can always blurt out.
The Green Bay Packers, established in 1919, is not only one of the original original members of the existing league, but the team ’s legendary coach Vince-Lombardi has written countless history-
In the history of the Packers, they won a total of thirteen championship trophies, nine were before the Super Bowl era, four were after the Super Bowl era, and Lombardi led the team to take five. Trophy.
After the death of Lombardi in 1970, to commemorate the legendary coach, the combined league decided to name the Super Bowl trophy after him.
Super Bowl trophy, full name: Vince Lombardi Cup.
Undoubtedly, the Green Bay Packers are one of the oldest teams in the league, but only really experienced fans know that the Packers are only the third oldest team in the league, and the second place is Chicago. Bear.
It is no exaggeration to say that the grudges and grudges of the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers in the same division have almost lasted for a whole century, which also makes the two teams become the most historically enemies in the league. one.
So, what about the oldest team?
The answer is the Arizona Cardinals, a team established in 1898. It is not only the oldest team in the league, but also one of the most desperate and desperate teams in the league.
It has witnessed almost every turning point in the Rugby Union, and has been tossing and turning in the league, changing hands several times, moving several times. In history, it was once the Chicago Cardinals, St. Louis Cardinals, Phoenix Cardinals, and finally in 1994 Settled in Glendale, Arizona and become the current team.
Among the fan bases based on the city, the relocation of the fans has been repeated three times, which has made the cardinals ’loyal fans gradually disappear into the torrent of time. Speaking of the fan base, do n’t talk to the packers and bears. Compared with the team of the new team, even compared with the new generation of Carolina Panthers and other teams, there is not much advantage.
What is even more impressive is that the Arizona Cardinals have never had a real glory in history. The biggest achievement in the history of the team is that before the Super Bowl era, it won the league championship twice in 1925 and 1947; But after entering the Super Bowl era, they never won.
The Arizona Cardinals were only in 2008, the only time they entered the Super Bowl, but lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers who swept the league with a defensive iron curtain. They witnessed the growing Ben Ben Rothsberg's second highest summit . At that time, it was Kurt Warner who led the Cardinals to the Super Bowl.
In the past twelve years, the Arizona Cardinals have been ups and downs. The peak period was 2008 and 2009, but it quickly fell after the peak. Last year, the grassland ended with five wins and eleven losses, even in the poorly competitive. In the Western Conference of the League of Nations, they are also the bottom team, and finally ranked fifth in the draft.
If the ups and downs of the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers have witnessed the rugby league's step-by-step glory; then the ups and downs of the Arizona Cardinals have witnessed the ups and downs of the professional league's growth.
It is ridiculous and regretful. As the league's oldest team, the Arizona Cardinals can't even find a decent rival.
Because in the constantly changing team history, their division opponents are constantly changing. All the engagement history, engagement records, and past glory are gradually forgotten in the long course of time, and then forced to start over.
It wasn't until 2002 that the Arizona Cardinals came to the Western Conference of the League of Nations, which stopped their wandering career and gradually gained a foothold.
However, in the past eight years of the same district match, the focus has always been the Seattle Seahawks. This rebuilt team won the scoring zone championship for four consecutive years from 2004 to 2007, and the St. Louis Rams in 2003. In 2008 and 2009, the Cardinals returned to the Seahawks in 2010.
In the divisional showdowns, the St. Louis Rams and San Francisco 49 talents are the real enemies; while the internal divisional showdowns in other divisions, the accumulated grievances and grievances that have accumulated and precipitated in just eight years are too insignificant because of the overall competition in the division The power is too bad, the weaker duel between the ups and downs, people can not afford more interest.
Even if you want to pull hatred, you seem to be powerless.
After a dismal record of five wins and eleven losses last year, the Arizona Cardinals still seem to be struggling in the new season. The regular season opener defeated the Carolina Panthers and successfully achieved a starter; but then encountered a wave of six In a losing streak, I haven't seen any hope for a long time. The current situation can be described as bad.
However, in the past two weeks, the Cardinals have shown a slight recovery. In the ninth week, overtime defeated the St. Louis Rams; in the tenth week, at the last minute, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, gaining a two-game winning streak and bringing the season record to three wins and six losses. People are still fierce.
At the beginning of the season, the Cardinals' quarterback was a fifth-grader, Kevin-Kolb, who entered the league with the 36th overall pick in the second round of 2007 and spent the Philadelphia Eagles. Four years later, he joined the Cardinals during the offseason this year and became the starting quarterback.
In the first game against the Panthers, Colb played well. Two touchdowns were not intercepted. The quarterback scored 130.0 and successfully defeated Cam Newton, who created a rookie pass record; but after that, Cole Bu's play was a complete disaster. Not only was he trapped by his own mistakes, but also suffered from injuries. Finally, in the ninth week of the regular season, he was forced to hand over his starting position because of injuries.
The starter was replaced by second-year quarterback John Skelton, the quarterback with the 155th overall pick in the fifth round last year. The touchdown and the interception flew, leading stumbled The team achieved two consecutive victories. Although the quarterback score did not exceed 80 points, at least the team's defensive group finally found a sense, and the offensive group finally regained a little vitality.
Two-game winning streak, maybe the process stumbles and stumbles, but in any case, victory is always a good thing, and finally stopped the decline.
Overall, the Arizona Cardinals are still floating in the trough. This year's state is slightly better than last year, but the signs of recovery are not obvious; by comparison, the performance of the 49ers in San Francisco can be described as majestic and poised The record of eight wins and one loss is the best proof.
More importantly, each game is analyzed in detail. In the face of weak teams, they are not weak, and in the face of strong teams, the 49ers in San Francisco are showing the style of a truly strong team.
There is no doubt that in this confrontation, the San Francisco 49ers have the upper hand.
The only uncertain factor is that the team's starting quarterback Lu Ke, in the last game against the New York Giants, some muscle spasms appeared in the right arm of the pass, which affected the performance of the third quarter. Indirectly led to the horror of the last quarter of the game.
But such worries also disappeared after Wednesday's official media day.
In an interview, Jim Hubble said that Lu Ke ’s arm had no problems, just some minor problems caused by improper force. After the game, there was no problem after receiving a massage; at the same time, the team further carried out a comprehensive Check to ensure that their starting quarterback is healthy and worry-free.
Team doctor Walter Hudson gave double confirmation in an interview. The team conducted a detailed and comprehensive inspection for Lu Ke. The result is undoubtedly gratifying. In the next game, this rookie will still lead the team to continue to move forward. .
After the public training session, Lu Ke's excellent passing performance also gave all fans a heart-warming pill, not only without injuries, but also in good condition. After winning a five-game winning streak, the entire team is on the right track, and is relaxed and relaxed for the next game.
In this way, the balance of victory was steadily tilted towards the 49 people in San Francisco, almost the unified opinion of all experts.
In the recording of "Inside the League", nine analysts commented that the San Francisco 49ers will win the game. The only exception is Charles Davis, who chose the Arizona Cardinals on the grounds that "two consecutive The winning momentum gave the Cardinals the strength to fight. "
However, no one accused Charles, and no one believed Charles.
Everyone knows that the "Across the Pacific" farce just now is not between Charles and Lu Ke. Now Charles chooses the Arizona Cardinals-the enemy of the enemy is his friend, which is a matter of course.
The comments of the commentators headed by Spencer Larson are the mainstream view of the entire league: The San Francisco 49ers have shown enough strength and potential to defeat the Arizona Cardinals is a high probability event.
The Las Vegas gambling game is the most direct proof that the San Francisco 49ers have a winning odds of only 1.1, and the Arizona Cardinals have a winning odds of 4.6. It can be seen that they also think this is a decisive victory. .
Unconsciously, this young and energetic team is gradually changing everyone's point of view, growing into a more outstanding team. However, the dark horses and the strong teams, the game still has to be completed on a down-to-earth basis. Victory is not a calculation on paper.
In the eleventh week of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers host the visiting Arizona Cardinals at home!
