GREEN BAY – The Arizona Cardinals were served a huge slice of humble pie today courtesy of the Green Bay Packers.

At no point in Arizona’s 34-13 loss were the Cardinals in control – and even after falling behind 24-0, it didn’t feel like they were seriously going to come back.

The Packers themselves are no slouch, especially here at Lambeau Field. However, it was the Cardinals who didn’t give themselves a chance today in what could easily be described as the most self-inflicted defeat of the Jonathan Gannon era.

Arizona entered this game as the cleanest team in the NFL in terms of penalties.

Sixty minutes later, the Cardinals scored 13 penalties for 100 yards in the locker room.

Combined with three turnovers, Arizona consistently shot itself in the foot all afternoon.

“Got beaten pretty well by a good football team. I lost the takeaway duel three to one. The road is difficult – a lot of penalties, I don’t know how many, but a lot of penalties, so we didn’t play cleanly enough. “I lost all three phases and lost to a good football team. I like the way they competed, but we just didn’t fight smart enough today,” Gannon said after the game.

Six of those penalties came before the snap – which has always been a major concern for Gannon and his team. Three of them came in the first quarter, which caused trouble from the start.

“Yes, that is non-negotiable for us. Untypical for us. So we need to look at why these things happened and do a better job there. Bang-bang plays happen – you don’t want to go backwards before the ball is in place.” “Snatched,” Gannon said of the mistakes before the snap.

Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray agreed.

“We didn’t implement all three phases of the ball. Sloppy turnovers, penalties, misunderstandings. To beat a good team, if we play like that, we won’t beat anyone. “We can’t shoot ourselves in the foot against a good team,” he said.

“Untypical. We don’t normally do that. Since JG’s been here, I haven’t felt like we’ve played a game like this, where we made one mistake after another and didn’t take care of the ball. I feel like we were pretty good at taking care of the ball and today we didn’t do it. In the NFL, that’s a blow.

“Frustrating. You know, to be a good team you have to be consistent. I think we just have to look in the mirror. I don’t know – you feel like you’ve done something because we beat the 49ers last week, I think. “I don’t know what it is, but that can’t happen.

The Cardinals play at home against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7, which gives them an extra day to make corrections and correct any mistakes before the season is lost so quickly.
