There are two ways to look at this season.
The first is progress as the Cardinals have gone from three wins to five wins to eight wins in the past three seasons.
The other is complete and utter disappointment and I choose that one. The Cardinals collapsed. You have to make the playoffs when you start 5-2. You only need 4 more wins in 9 games to do that — not even .500. But to finish 3-6 is nothing more than complete failure. Failure to win games against a bad Patriots team, a 49ers team playing for nothing and a depleted Rams team starting a quarterback who had never played a down in the NFL. Failure!

Two years ago, when the Cardinals were looking for their next head coach, they determined that they were looking for the next Sean McVay. Well, I have seen two years of evidence now and Kliff, you’re no Sean McVay.

A fitting end to the Cardinals’ season and what should be a fitting end to the Kliff Kingsbury era if the Cardinals have any sense. Lack of execution, baffling play-calls and penalties were the story of the game.
