Bills 33, Cardinals 18

The Cardinals fell to the Bills 33-18 today in Buffalo.  The Cardinals fall to 1-2 on the season.  The Cardinals are a real frustrating team to watch this season.  I think they got a bit full of themselves over the offseason and perhaps didn't put in the work they needed to.  I'll say the same for GM Steve Keim and his staff, they seem to think they can just plug anyone into their system and will run smoothly, that's obviously not the case.   At this point they are playing a real sloppy, undisciplined brand of football and they'd better shake that soon.

Observations:
  • The Cardinals need to vary their offense a bit from all the long pass attempts.  
  • I always get worried when the Cardinals play 2 time zones away and have an early start
  • Chandler Catanzaro's 60 yard field goal was the Cardinals highlight of the game. 
  • They're not going to win many games when Carson Palmer throws 4 interceptions
  • I suspect that the Cardinals will have a new long snapper next week. 
  • David Johnson did his part with 111 total yards and 2 touchdowns. 
  • The Cardinals offensive line needs to do a better job of protecting Carson Palmer.
  • James Bettcher continues to look like he is in over his head.  
  • Turnovers:  Cardinals 5, Bills 1 
  • Total Yards:  Cardinals 348, Bills 297
  • Rushing Yards:  Bills 208, Cardinals 88
  • Time of Possession:  Cardinals 34:00, Bills 26:00
  • That was an impressive interception by Patrick Peterson. 
  • The Cardinals rushing defense needs to toughen up. 
  • It would be nice to see Robert Nkemdiche in the lineup.  
  • Chris Johnson needs more than 2 touches.  
  • It was nice to see WR John Brown back on the field.  
  • Tony Jefferson continues to play well in Tyrann Mathieu's old role. 
  • Chandler Jones now has 3 sacks in 3 games for the Cardinals. 
  • Apparently Rex Ryan was right to fire his Offensive Coordinator last week. 
  • Up next?  Los Angeles Rams next Sunday in Glendale.
