Cardinals 14, Rams 7

The Ryan Lindley era started off with a 31-17 Cardinals loss to the Rams today in Glendale.  The Cardinals have now lost 7 games in a row and are 4-7 on the season.  What a train wreck they've become.  The decision to start Lindley today is looking more and more like a move of desperation.  It's also looking more and more like Kurt Warner can be credited for the Cardinals Super Bowl run in 2009 more so than Ken Whisenhunt, who's really coaching himself onto the hot seat.  It's not too far fetched to envision Whisenhunt gone, with Ray Horton taking over as head coach along with a whole new offensive coaching staff and offensive philosophy. 

Observations:

• Beanie Wells running ability seemed to open up the passing game some.
• The Cardinals defense seems to be tiring as the season progresses.  
• Steven Jackson still has some life in him.  
• Ryan Lindley is clearly not ready to be a starter in the NFL.  
• Kevin Kolb looks to be out for a couple more weeks, that spells more trouble. 
• I'm still waiting for that first punt return TD of the season for Patrick Peterson. 
• 2 pick-6's for Janoris Jenkins, that's nuts. 
• Still no Todd Heap, someone please send out an APB. 
• There is no excuse for the roof being closed today at the University of Phoenix Stadium. 
• Up next?  @ New York to take on the Jets.
