Cardinals 21, 49ers 19

Big win for the Cardinals today, 21-19 over the 49ers.  This win moves the Cardinals to 6-7 on the season with 3 winable games to go (Browns, Bengals & Seahawks).  They are within striking distance of a playoff spot, they'll need to win out and will need some help, but it's possible.  Their defense has really stepped up over the last 6 weeks, the transformation from earlier this season has been remarkable to watch. 

Observations:
-The Cardinals have now won 5 of their last 6 games.
-Concussion for Kevin Kolb?   He just can't stay on the field. 
-John Skelton did a nice job replacing Kolb, he was 19-28 for 282 yards & 3 TD's. 
-Fitz goes over 1000 recieving yards for the 5th straight year.  He had 7 catches for 149 yards & 1 TD today.
-The Cardinal WR's not named Fitz are stepping up.  
-I'm guessing that it helped the Cardinals that 49ers LB Patrick Willis was out with an injury.  
-The 49ers were just 3 for 17 on 3rd down today. 
-5 sacks by the Cardinals today, that's a beautiful thing. 
-Where the heck did Nick Eason come from?  He's been playing really well.
-Up next are the Browns at University of Phoenix Stadium.
