Unfinished business

There is no worse feeling than seeing months and months of hard work gone in 60 minutes like the Cardinals went down against the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Championship Game last January.

Arians and general manager Steve Keim were already working on a plan to get themselves better prepared for the situation in 2016.  The Cardinals aren’t here to just show up this season.

The appearance so far does look like the Cardinals expect to just show up on Sunday’s and be given then game.  It doesn’t work that way and the players know it.  They just need to show it.

The Cardinals goal is to win the Super Bowl.  Not just get to the big game but win it.  The Cardinals can get there again.  They need a much higher focus on Sunday’s.  There is no light switch they can turn on to make it better.  Putting more points on the board than your opponent makes it better. That starts on Sunday.
