Cardinals 18, Chargers 17

The Cardinals kicked off their 2014 season tonight with an 18-17 MNF win over the Chargers at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.  What a nice win!  They trailed 17-6 after 3 quarters and then battled back with 2 4th quarter touchdowns!  They do need to clean up some things though, they looked rather sloppy at times and their offense really wasn't clicking until near the end of the game.  Still, a win is a win, I'll take it.

Observations:

• The Cardinals run game needs some work.  
• Larry Foote looks like he may be a great pick up.  
• I love the aggressiveness of Todd Bowles play calling. 
• Ted Ginn Jr did not impress me returning kicks.  
• I think that this could be a breakout year for WR Michael Floyd.  
• Tyrann Mathieu was inactive tonight, they need him on the field.   
• Wherefore Art Thou Larry Fitzgerald?   1 catch for 22 yards. 
• I was not a fan of that failed Wildcat 2-point conversion attempt. 
• Calais Campbell was uncharacteristically quiet tonight. 
• The Cardinals had 2 punters active tonight.  
• I really like this John Brown kid!!
• Chandler Catanzaro was solid in his first action as Cardinals kicker. 
• That Charger no huddle offense looked like more trouble than it's worth. 
• Carson Palmer can run the ball when he needs to.  
• The NFL's new pass interference rule needs revision ASAP. 
• I've decided that I don't like Jeremy Attaochu.  
• It was nice to see Kurt Warner inducted into the Cardinals Ring-of-Honor. 
• I'm really not a fan of Chris Berman in the announcers booth. 
• Up next?  @ NY Giants on Sunday.
