CARDINALS MISS PLAYOFFS, BUT ON PATH TO SUCCESS

The Arizona Cardinals finished their season with a loss to the Los Angelos Rams.  The loss ended all hopes of a playoff berth.  The team finished the season 8-8, not the way they wanted the season to end.  There was plenty to be proud of this season, as well as many adjustrments to make.

 

 Many fans are upset and say this was a wasted season.  Some are even calling for head coach Kliff Kingsbury to be fired and for the team to move on from Kyler Murray.

 

Cardinal fans have always had high expectations for the team, those expectations rised even more when Kyler Murray was drafted number 1 overall in 2019.  As far as a failed season, fire your coach and get a new QB I say…….No way! 

 

Be patient Cardinal fans!  You have all the pieces you need.  Just give it time for the pieces to mold together and you will soon have that ever elusive Lonbardi Trophy.  Rebuilding is a process that takes a few years and the Cardinals are on the brink of that rebuild.

 

The Cardinals have the weapons they need to compete.  They have a franchise QB, an above average line, a superstar wide receiver, not to mention a future Hall of Fame recierver to boot.  They also have a good enough running game to keep them competitive.  The defense is young and getting better.  The have a superstar in Budda Baker and a promising your cornerback corps that may not be affected if Patrick Peterson does not return to the team.

 

The Cardinals overachieved this year.  We have to remind ourselves that they won 3 games last, the first year of the rebuild.  That is a 5 game improvement, a huge improvement.  I said all along that the Cardinals will make the playoffs in year three, maybe win a game or two and then in year four content for a Super Bowl.

 

The Cardinals nearly made the playoffs this year and should have no problem doing it next year.  This will have them right on pace with the rebuild plan.
