Cardinals 10, Seahawks 13

The Cardinals dropped to 1-2 on the season today with a very disappointing 13-10 loss to the Seahawks.   It was a very winnable game, as was last weeks game against the Redskins, they could easily be 3-0 right now.  The defense finally played a decent game too (although the anemic Seahawks offense may have had something to do with that also), the offense was nowhere to be seen though.  They have lots of work to do. 

Observations:
-Beanie Wells missed the game due to injury, he was very much missed.
-Kevin Kolb's stats look good but I thought that he struggled, especially late when it counted (69.6 QB rating). 
-3 of 14 on 3rd down attempts is just not going to cut it.
-It was nice to see them finally target Todd Heap, they really need to target him more often.
-Calais Campbell is emerging as their top defensive player (2.5 sacks, 2 TFL, 10 total tackles).
-Patrick Peterson continues to show improvement (1 INT, 1 fumble recovery), he's going to be fine.
-Jay Feely was only 1 of 3 on his FG, that hurts, especially when you lose by 3. 
-The Seahawks better be careful or they will play themselves out of the Andrew Luck sweepstakes (Tarvaris Jackson is not the answer at QB there).  
-Sidney Rice finally contributed for the Seahawks (8 catches, 109 yards), the Vikings really miss him. 
-Up next is the NY Giants (2-1) at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.
