The Arizona Cardinals lost a tough one at home 28-17 to the Dallas Cowboys

There was the first quarter. Take that alone and this story would be the good, the good, and the good. Since we have to talk about all four quarters, this definitely was a good, bad, and ugly story on Monday night.

There is definitely more to take away from this loss than the first two weeks combined. We are getting a sense of what to expect from the Cardinals this season, at least until they get some guys healthy.

There was blame to share in all phases of the game once again but the struggle to win can be pinpointed to a few areas. This weeks bad and ugly were pretty evident.

The good from the Cardinals on Monday night was there. There were missed opportunities though and big plays given up.

The game certainly overall played closer than a 28-17 loss. This was still a 7-7 game at halftime. The Cowboys though came out and threw punches on both sides of the ball.

Clearly the Cowboys are the better team. There is reason to believe the sky isn’t falling for the Cardinals, especially given the current state of the NFC West. Here is the good, the bad, the ugly from Monday night’s game.
