Cardinals 24, Rams 27

The Cardinals kicked off the 2013-14 NFL season today with a 27-24 loss to the Rams in St. Louis. After last seasons debacle, it was nice to watch an NFL caliber football team on the field again.  It was a winnable game too, they were up 24-13 late into the 3rd quarter, they just couldn't close it out.  It was a step in the right direction though, I think that Bruce Arians is going to get this thing turned around. 

Observations:

• Larry Fitzgerald has to be happy to have a real QB again. 
• The Honey Badger made his presence felt early.  
• I doubt that Jay Feely is feeling more secure in his job after today. 
• Cards need to get more pressure on the QB, I would have liked to have seen more John Abraham.
• Carson Palmer is already the best Cardinals QB since Kurt Warner. 
• Andre Roberts had a nice game, I like the Cardinals WR's. 
• Darnell Dockett needs to step his game up, he was barely noticeable.
• I had forgotten how bad Levi Brown really is.   
• Rob Housler needs to stay healthy and start living up to the hype. 
• Darryl Washington would have probably helped the Cardinals today. 
• Robert Quinn seems to love playing against the Arizona Cardinals.
• Up next?  The Lions @ University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.
