No sugarcoating this one, the Arizona Cardinals did some good things but again was almost nothing but ugly out there in their loss

The good thing about the Arizona Cardinals getting eliminated from the playoff race on Sunday is we only have to endure as many as two more games as ugly as Sunday’s was.  The Washington Redskins defeated the Cardinals 20-15.

So many things went wrong in a game that presented itself with so many opportunities to win. However when your team can only muster five field goals, then it is going to be difficult to win most Sunday’s.

There were more injuries, more turnovers, and more ineptness.  In other words, it was just another week at the office for the Cardinals.

Generally speaking the Cardinals whole season hasn’t been that pretty.  It is what it is though.  They flirted with the playoffs even though realistically we knew they had no shot.

They did still have that shot on Sunday despite it all.  With the way the game started with a quick turnover by the Cardinals and subsequent quick touchdown for the Redskins we all knew.  We all knew that the ugly was already out and wasn’t going to go back into hiding.
