2 straight games where the 49ers got owned in the 2nd half. Colin's big pay day is looking more and more like a bad contract by the game. Cardinals have the bye week coming up.
Will Kurt Gibson still have a job after this season? I see more of the problems with the team over the years in the GM position and would like to see Gibson in action with a more contending team overtime than the one he had a few seasons ago with an early exit to the Brewers.
Not surprising considering the brawling many 49ers Fans often get into with the Raiders Fans.
Speaking of brawling, one broke out between the Redskins and Eagles Sunday after former Arizona QB Nick Foles got hit with a cheap shot way after the whistle.

Cardinals fans aren't exactly the model fans...
Fights happen everywhere. Drunk people taking sports a little too seriously.
This actually might end up being fun to follow:

NFL games are scary in general. Even though there is alcohol at NHL games I feel like it is a much more family-friendly environment. Of course the NFL has to deal with 3x the spectators but still...
Your so right. I went to a Cardinal game a couple of years ago. So many drunks walking around yelling and swearing (the Cards were losing). Takes all the fun out of it, especially if you have young kids around.
Again, every team has good and bad fans. However they're bad apples who root for certain teams that are worse than the bad apples of other teams. We have bad apples in the Coyotes Fanbase but they don't compare to that of the bad apples in the Oakland Raiders Fanbase for example.
The reason why the NFL games tend to have more violent drunk fans than say in the NHL is because most of the games are played on a day(Sunday) where the majority of Americans have the day off from work and many of those same people have Monday's off as well. Most people are not going to drink or will drink a little if they have to work the next day and some will call out sick if they had too much.
To be fair to the NFL here despite the league being dragged through the mud over the past few weeks, there have been efforts made to make things more family friendly at the games. Such moves that have been made to ensure this by having "Family Friendly" sections of the stadium where no alcohol is allowed and they're quite a few of these so called "Alcohol Compliance" officers walking around along with local and state police at the games as well.
RT @BNightengale The #Dbacks and Dave Stewart are on the verge of agreeing to a multiyear contract to become their GM, which could be announced Friday.

Are you really comparing an NFL fanbase to an NHL fanbase?
Hell, I'll give you an example. When I was in college, I paid for glass seats against the Sharks on dollar beer night. I put my beers on the glass, and they got knocked off when someone was hit into the boards. Yes, rookie mistake. Best part, about 6 rows up there was a Sharks fan. Was he drunk? I don't know. But him and I bantered all night long. It was fun.
Cardinals are just like any Arizona team, the opposing team fans usually outnumber them. Cardinal fans could just brush off what is said, and not care, and watch the game on the field. There is no reason for someone to take something said about a football team personally. Just be the home town fan, and banter with the opposing team fan.

This is hilarious!
I was at a Cardinals game back when they played at Sun Devil Stadium. The players on the field basically outnumbered the fans in the stadium. Where were all these Cardinals fans then?

That's great for Cardinals fans. But 2 years ago when the Dolphins came to town, nearly half of the fans in my section and on the bust from the parking lot to the game were Dolphins fans. When you watch a Cardinals games on TV, the mid level is nearly completely empty. Their support isn't as much as it's made out to be.
