Cards drop to the Broncos

Arizona fell victim to the new owner jinx again, the Cards frustration isn't important, just shut up and play. Murray continues to make terrible reads in the redzone and let the Broncos hang around after that and keep the game close. Arizona was in the driver seat for the last spot in the NFC playoff picture but now find themselves on the outside looking out with 3 tough games on the horizon. Cardinals gave up almost 400 yards of offense to the Broncos. The Cards kept Wilson's rushing in check but again couldn't get off the field on 3rd downs. A game clinching INT was dropped by Thompson after he played the route perfectly but failed to complet the play. The new guy isn't the new guy anymore as Evans continues to shine after bumping up to a Star, as he rushed for 112 yards on 20carries and 1 score. Evans is doing all this with a young Oline and missing his starting Center. With defenses keying on the run game, one would think Murray would have a break out season but that is not what is going on. The lone shining light in the passing game is the Tight End Trey McBride who hauled in 6 catches for 107 yards and 1 touchdown, continues to play great football. Even though he got knicked up and had to leave this game on 2 seperate times due to injury but was able to return and finish out the game. The Arizona Defense dropped several interception chances in this one that would have changed the pace of the game. But it is what it is, we had our shots and didn't have the plays needed to win the game back to the drawing board and on too next week. With the race coming down to the last 3 weeks every game is important and those early losses that should have been wins are going to come back to bite the Cardinals in the butt if they don't get it together and go on a run to end the season. We shall see, to be continued.......
