Cardinals 40, Buccaneers 7

The Cardinals woke up this week with a 40-7 win over the Buccaneers today at University of Phoenix Stadium.  The Cardinals improve to 1-1 on the season.  This was a big win for the Cardinals coming off last week loss to the Patriots.  An 0-2 start would have been disastrous to them.  They played like they had something to prove today and it was good to see.  Keep it rolling Cards.

Observations:

• It's not easy to score 40 points in an NFL game. 
• This was the Carson Palmer that I remember. 
• Larry Fitzgerald just keeps on catching touchdown passes.  
• Jaron Brown has really progressed nicely from last season. 
• It appears that Marcus Cooper has supplanted Brandon Williams at CB. 
• I continue to be impressed with David Johnson's pass catching ability. 
• I've become a big fan of Markus Golden, he's the real deal. 
• Chandler Jones did not make much of an impact today. 
• I'm generally not a fan of drafting kickers high. 
• Turnovers:  Buccaneers 5, Cardinals 0 
• Total Yards:  Cardinals 416, Buccaneers 306
• I could see the Cardinals work out a few long snappers this week. 
• It was good to see Chris Johnson getting some touches today. 
• The Cardinals defenders have become quite opportunistic. 
• I like that the Cardinals are just booming kickoffs out of the end zone. 
• Tony Jefferson had a nice game, how come nobody wanted him in free agency? 
• I get the feeling that Robert Nkemdiche is going to get injured a lot. 
• Let's not give Jameis Winston the MVP Award just yet. 
• You can't help but be impressed by Bucs WR Mike Evans.  
• Up next?  @ Buffalo next Sunday to take on the Bills.
