The Arizona Cardinals were mostly bad on Sunday but did have a couple of bright spots in loss

The Arizona Cardinals lost to the Carolina Panthers 30-20 on Sunday. It was pretty ugly from the start as far as the Cardinals were concerned. At least it was that way in the first half.

In the second half of Sunday’s game, the Cardinals did show some signs of life but again what has dogged them all season, mistakes cost them in their attempted comeback. Penalties and turnovers once again halted any thought of the Cardinals winning Sunday afternoon.

The Panthers were able to grind the ball out in the running game. Quarterback Cam Newton didn’t have an especially great day, going 14-27 for 212 yards. His receivers did him no favors by dropping some easy passes.

However the Cardinals fell behind 24-0 and couldn’t get anything going in the air or on the ground early on. They also caught no breaks. An interception turned over. A Carson Palmer incomplete pass ruled a fumble and a returned touchdown by Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis. Questionable penalties at crucial times. Not much went right on Sunday.

Here is a look at was was good, bad, and ugly on Sunday. Again, more focus on the bad and ugly unfortunately from this one.
