49ERS OUTLAST CARDINALS
CARDINALS FINISH SEASON 1-15


Justin Smith celebrates his sack / Thompkins finished with 137 yards receiving

One of the worse seasons in Cardinals history has finally come to an end as the Cards fall to 1-15 after a 18-15 loss to the Kaepernick-less 49ers.

The Cardinals offense wasn't able to produce a single touchdown as kicker jay Feely scored all 15 of the Cardinals points. The Cardinals had excellent field position all game but B.J. Coleman and company never could punch it in once they got into the redzone. Coleman threw for 287 yards and 2 int's in the loosing effort.

Rookie of the year lock Kenbrell Thomkpins ended his season hauling in 7 catches for 137 yards. Ryan Williams chipped in 103 yards on the ground. On the defensive side the Cards were led by John Abraham who finished with 9 tackles and a sack. DE Calias Campbell was able to take down Colt McCoy 3 times but it wasn't enough to give Arizona the win.

The Cards will now head into the offseason with alot of questions. Will Bruce Arians return? Will Carson Palmer be able to return from his ACL injury? Or will the front office just continue to blow up the team?
