I don't disagree with what you're saying. It is an accomplishment for a team like the Cardinals to make it to the Super Bowl considering their history. But regardless if you are a dynasty or a Cinderella team, if you make it to the Super Bowl and lose it pretty much trumps what you did during the year.
Maybe a better example are the Cincinnati Bengals. They finished 4-11 in the '87 season, then went 12-4 in '88 and made it to the Super Bowl and lost. Sure it was a huge accomplishment to go from such a losing season to make it to the Super Bowl the next season. But who talks about them? No one. My point is winning the Super Bowl means everything. I'm sure for a team like the Cardinals, getting there just isn't enough.
