The Cardinals put a rag tag team on the field last year
after they lost QB Carson Palmer. I know I didn’t think that they would be able
to survive the season, yet alone would make the playoffs. They did exactly that
they survived the season on back up QB’s and made a playoff appearance against
the Carolina Panthers!! The Cards could not pull off the upset against a good
Carolina team. But it did set the stage for them to have one hell of a season
this year…

Sat. Aug.
15th (vs. Chiefs) (Results: 34-19 Cardinals L): The season
opening loss to the Chiefs was no surprise. The Cardinals have never really
been a deep team and this was another game that proved it. Palmer looked good
in his 1st game in almost a year, but he played limited time in this
1st game and the team showed it still isn’t that deep…
2.
Sat. Aug.
22nd (vs. Chargers) (Results: 22-19 Cardinals L): The Chargers
looked like a team that could win a division title. But alas it is only the
preseason and I know the outcome would be different in the regular season. The
Cardinals showed a little more improvement on the defensive side of the ball as
they only gave up 22 points. In the end though the offense couldn’t produce
enough points to pick up a victory…

Aug 30th (@ Raiders) (Results: 30-23 Cardinals W): This game
showed a lot of weaknesses and strengths that the team has moving forward into
the 2015-16 season. The running game seemed to be sluggish but the passing game
is starting to pick up. In the end the Cardinals got the victory even though
the Raiders put up one hell of a fight…

Thu. Sep.
3rd (@ Broncos) (Results: 22-20 Cardinals W): This was the final
preseason game so none of the starters for any team saw any significant time.
Other than that this was a really good game as the Cardinals backups were able
to out play the Broncos and get the win and close the preseason 2-2…
