The Arizona Cardinals got away with one on Sunday but there is a lot of work to do

The Arizona Cardinals clearly still have a lot to do.  A lot of what was working last season is not there anymore.  Sure injuries have taken their toll but that’s not nearly the whole story.

The Cardinals had no balance on offense and gave up a couple of big plays on Sunday to the San Francisco 49ers in their 23-20 victory.  The Cardinals are now 4-4-1 on the season.

The Cardinals turned the ball over four times and rushed for fewer yards than the 49ers.  They also settled for field goals when touchdowns seemed like sure things.

With the Cardinals performance on Sunday, there is concern if this is as good as the 2016 Cardinals get?  They will have a hard time beating many teams in the NFL with the mistakes made on Sunday.

With the Cardinals having just two home games left with five on the road, it is going to be tough sledding the rest of the way.  There are no more 49ers on the schedule.

All that being said, there were some good things on Sunday that happened.  The bad and ugly outshine again however.
