Just less than one year ago, the Arizona Cardinals were on their way to an appearance in the NFC Championship Game against the Carolina Panthers. Now as we wrap up Week 12, they are a depressing 4-6-1 in the NFC West which is unarguably – albeit surprisingly – the worst division in the NFL.
Generally rough season on the heels of such a successful should be taken with a grain of salt; particularly in a season like this one that has featured an unusually swift changing of the guard. Still, even with all the normal excuses we employ to prop up the coaches that we want to like, it is obvious that something has gone inexplicably wrong with a very talented Cardinals team.
