Cardinals Over Bills

Between their disappointing preseason, and a frustrating loss to the Patriots opening weekend, the Arizona Cardinals managed to bounce back with an impressive win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Up next, the Cardinals face a tough road test against a team desperate for their first win of the season in the Buffalo Bills.

On paper, there’s no reason why Arizona should lose this game when considering they have an offense filled with all sorts of weapons from Larry Fitzgerald to David Johnson. On top of their offense, the Cardinals’ defense is also considered one of the best in the league.

When looking at Buffalo’s situation, the pressure is certainly on Rex Ryan following the team’s questionable decision to fire offensive coordinator Greg Roman following last week’s loss to the Jets. If anything, Rob Ryan should have been the one who was fired when looking at how poorly the defense played.

If the Cardinals can come out firing against the Bills like they did against the Buccaneers, they shouldn’t have much of a problem picking up that second win of the season. Arizona was considered a favorite to win the Super Bowl at the beginning of the season, and it’s time for them to prove they’re the real deal.
