Cardinals 27, Giants 31

Cardinals blow late lead, fall to the Giants, 31-27.  This loss leaves the Cards at 1-3 on the season.  The Giants scored 2 TD's in a 58 second span late in the game to win it.  It was a very winnable game for the Cards.  They are digging themselves quite the hole.  They actually looked pretty good until late in the game, then things just fell apart.  They had better fix things quickly, the 49ers are playing pretty good, they may just run away with this thing.  

Observations:
-Was that a Darnell Dockett sighting??  Heck of a game for Darnell.  
-I really like the Cardinals black uniforms.  
-I've been pleasantly surprised by the play of A.J. Jefferson at CB.
-With LaRod Stephen-Howling (KR) & Patrick Peterson (PR), the Cardinals may have the best kick/punt return tandem in football.
-The OL needs to play much better, Kolb was sacked 4 times and was constantly under pressure.  
-Officiating was questionable at best in this game. 
-Another nice game by Fitz (8 catches for 102 yards), he is now the Cardinals All Time leader in reception yards and 100 yard reception games.
-The Cardinals really missed Beanie Wells last week, I suspect they would have beat the Seahawks had he played.  He had 138 yards on 28 carries today with 3 TD's. 
-WR Hakeem Nicks had a nice game for the Giants, he is really stepping up this year.
-Up next is the Vikings (0-4) @ Mall of America Field in Minneapolis.
