The Arizona Cardinals are 1-2 but there is plenty of season left to turn things around

It is isn’t the start to the 2016 season that most Cardinals fans would have envisioned so far.  At 1-2 the Cardinals have one close loss that should have been a win and one blowout loss that should have been a blowout the other way.

That is the NFL though and that is why you play the games.  If we went off of should have or could have’s, the Cardinals would have a richer franchise history than they do at the moment.

The expectations weren’t too high.  The expectations in fact remain the same, get to a Super Bowl and win the Super Bowl.  It’s a tall order but one that this talented roster can accomplish.

Not every Cardinals fan is in a panic.  Not every fan is ready to jump off a ledge.  Some are but they don’t have a real understanding of what the Cardinals are about.

There are many reasons why there should be no panic yet.  I don’t like using the term it’s still early. In the NFL, it’s never early with just 16 games.  That being said, they have plenty of reasons to believe they can still right the ship and accomplish their goals.
