Cardinals 44, Rams 6

The Cardinals finished their season today with a 44-6 win over the Rams in Los Angeles.  The Cardinals close their season with a 7-8-1 record.  It was a highly disappointing season for them but at least they can go into the offseason coming off of two impressive road wins.  Of course, they hurt their draft standing by winning those 2 meaningless games.  Bring on 2017 already.

Observations:

• Was there really any need to play David Johnson in this meaningless game? 
• Let's hope that we haven't seen the last of Larry Fitzgerald playing in the NFL. 
• The Cardinals will be fine with Carson Palmer as QB for at least one more season. 
• I suspect that the Cardinals bring back DE Chandler Jones next season. 
• Markus Golden was a beast once again today for the Cardinals. 
• The Cardinals will be drafting 13th overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. Deshawn Watson please. 
• Fan support in Los Angeles for the Rams is just how I remember it. 
• Robert Nkemciche wrapped up his final game of the season in street cloths once again.
• Total Yards:  Cardinals 344, Rams 123
• First Downs:  Cardinals 21, Rams 9
• Passing Yards:  Cardinals 260, Rams 71
• Darren Fells is proving to be a quality NFL TE. 
• Should I know who Jeremy Ross is?   
• Harlan Miller flashed again in his extended tryout in the Cardinals secondary. 
• It'll be interesting to see if the Cardinals can hang onto Harold Goodwin.
• The Cardinals really do need to make changes in the way they approach special teams.  
• Apparently it's much too early to discount Justin Bethel as a CB. 
• The Cardinals defense did a really nice job of getting to the QB this season. 
• The Rams should go all in on Nick Saban, he's got nothing left to prove at Alabama. 
• Carson Palmer just does not lose at the LA Coliseum.
