The Arizona Cardinals had plenty of blame to go around for the loss to the Washington Redskins

It wasn’t a good game from most on the Arizona Cardinals roster on Sunday afternoon at State Farm Stadium against the Washington Redskins.  However there were a few guys that stood out more than others.

David Johnson took blame for the loss, saying it was on his shoulders.  However, he never really had a shot given how inefficient the rest of the offense was and how poorly the defense played.

There are other guys that are going to need to step it up next week at the Los Angeles Rams.  The competition gets tougher with the Rams, then the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks afterwards.

We all know it’s just one game.  But one turns into two, two turns into four and before you know it, it’s too late to make a difference.

The Cardinals will rebound at some point.  It may not be next week but they do need to play better on both sides of the ball.  There is no question about that.

If they can even have a decent outing in Los Angeles, it will be an improvement.  So which three guys do we need to see the most improvement from in order for that to happen?
