According to Bill Bidwill, though it still meant Dave McGinnis was getting fired despite yesterday's Cardinal victory that was simply stunning and one to remember.

Arizona Cardinals President Bill Bidwill has relieved Head Coach Dave McGinnis and his coaching staff from their duties effective immediately.

The victory yesterday was one for the ages. Trailing 17-6 with a little over six minutes left in the game, the Cardinals came back in a most improbable fashion, in stumbling style to a 18-17 comeback victory. Knocking the Vikings out of this season's playoff pool.

Viking fans who seemed to outnumber Cardinal fans, whose hopes were crushed, were taunted exiting the stadium.

Some suggest that the Cardinals should have just rolled over as the win was really just a big loss, considering that they forfeited the top pick in 2004 draft.
