The Arizona Cardinals were whipped in all three phases of the game in 33-18 loss to the Buffalo Bills

It is tough to decide where to start, especially since we are all still waiting for the Arizona Cardinals to start their game.  They never got it going on Sunday in their blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills.

When you think about what went well, what didn’t and what really didn’t, I think you can put most of the talk in this game to the two latter categories.  I expect Cardinals fans to light up social media and the post-game talk phone lines complaining the season is over.  It isn’t.

Remember, the Cardinals are just 1-2.  They made enough mistakes to cover several games but amazingly this only counts as one loss for the Cardinals.

Mistakes by the offense, by the defense, and special teams all contributed to the loss on Sunday in Buffalo.  Quarterback Carson Palmer will show four interceptions on the stat sheet.  Let’s be honest though, this game was already over before he threw his first one.

Did anything go well on Sunday?  Maybe a couple, but nothing that was game-changing or Earth-shattering.  Now for the mostly bad Cardinals action from Sunday.
