Notes from the press box at Bank of America Stadium for Panthers - Cardinals.

Five plays. Fifty yards. Three-oh-four on the clock. Those are the stats for Carolina's first drive tonight and they're telling because the Arizona Cardinals don't exactly look fresh right now.

After holding the Cats to a quick long-and-third, the Buzzsaw coughed up a 10-yard gain to Brad Hoover. That was immediately followed by a 31-yard DeAngelo Williams rip that appeared housebound. Jonathan Stewart then played the mop-up duty roll, walking untouched into the end zone from nine yards out.
A Larry Fitzgerald long reception on third down brought the Cardinals within scoring range of their own, but then Kurt Warner proceeded to get his face driven into the ground and one play later the birds were out of field goal range.

None of that is to say that the Cardinals are already done or even all that overmatched, but that's the general feeling you get in this place right now. And, until Arizona can play well on the East coast, it's kind of tough to give them the benefit of the doubt.
