Cardinals 43, Broncos 13

I'm  not quite sure what got into the Cardinals today, I haven't seen that team show up in quite some time, 43-13 Cardinals over the Broncos.  That win moves the Cardinals to 4-9 on the season, they've got 3 left, best case scenario would be 7-9, believe it or not they still have a statistical chance to win the NFC West, don't count on it though.  Other observations?   1) Gutsy call to have Jay Feeley run in a fake FG attempt for a TD, it was only the 4th time in the last 40 years that a kicker had run a fake field goal for a TD.  2) John Skelton started at QB and looked presentable, at least much more so than Derek Anderson and Max Hall have looked thus far this year.  I think he's got a future in the league, he's a big, strong kid with a cannon of an arm, I'm not sure if it's as a starter though.  3) Nice game for Tim Hightower, 148 yards on 18 carries plus 2 TD's, he averaged 8.2 yards per carry.  He needs to hold on to the ball though as he fumbled yet again.  4) The Broncos are bad, I didn't realize how bad until this week, but they've got lots of problems.  5) Next week they are in Carolina to take on the Panthers, the Panthers are 1-12 on the season, they are a bad football team, there's no reason the Cardinals can't win that game.
