Cardinals 16, Bengals 23

Cards lose, 23-16 to the Bengals.  This loss drops them to 7-8 on the season and officially eliminates them from the playoffs.  Let's be honest, they're really not a playoff team, not yet anyways.  I do think they've made some strides this season though, their defense has improved immensely and a full off season should do wonders for  Kevin Kolb (I hope). 

Observations:
-The Cardinals are NOT a very good cold weather football team.  
-It was a nice comeback by the Cardinals, it was good to see they didn't just fold up.
-Another missed game for Kevin Kolb, he's only started 9 games this season.
-John Skelton has career back up written all over him. 
-Beanie Wells breaks the 1000 yard mark for the first time. About time.
-Yet another 100 yard receiving game by Larry Fitzgerald (6 catches for 105 yards).
-I hated seeing Patrick Peterson getting injured, hopefully it's not serious.
-Check out this TD catch by Bengals WR Jerome Simpson, that's what you call hops.
-I predict that Andy Dalton is going to have a nice career in Cincinnati.
-Up next, the Seahawks in Glendale to close the season.
