You might want to call the Cardinals’ dud of a performance last night as a Hail Murray hangover.
But this failure on the Cardinals’ part has been brewing since they stole the first game away from the Seahawks because of a series of missed opportunities to be better prepared for their arch-rivals during the bye week, which happened to perfectly coincide with the trading deadline.
Great teams learn from surprise victories—-and not just from disappointing defeats.
For years and decades the Cardinals have failed to handle success to the point of learning from it and building on it.
