happened to the cardinals in buffalo? you know this did not resemble the team that many are predicting to be in super bowl 501. coupe joins us with more. >> yeah. it was bad. cardinals supposedly fixed all the bad in last weeks blowout win over tampa bay. they said all the right things headed into buffalo to play a winless bills team but with this head coach on the hot seat, the cardinals are clearly 18 out of sync right now. the game turned right here on this high-end candidate in the third quarter. a field goal would have put the cardinals of sit to 20-10. instead aaron williams with the scoop and score. stretching the bills lead to 30- 7. that changed the completion of the game entirely. candidate on the sideline no doubt feeling that but long snapping has become an area of concern. the cardinals did have a chance to make a big play. tyrann mathieu forcing a fumble. if he can scoop and score, the cardinals can cut the deficit

on the ball. it goes out of bounds, the ball remains in possession of the bills. yeah. it was that kind of day. the bills had the cardinals their second loss 33-18. the final. >> we talked about getting off to a fast start. it's the slowest one we've had in four years offense of the. >> there's a lot of football left. 13 games left. we have a big division game at our house next week. so we need to find a way to improve and if there's one thing this team does its work >> not like you're not going to a gunfight with a knife. i mean we have fully loaded arsenal of weapons. we're just not playing up to our kid abilities as players. that's what we have to address. >> wow. next up for the cardinals, divisional game against the rams next sunday at university of phoenix stadium. how about this? the rams are now tied with the seahawks atop the nfc west division. not the cardinals but the rams at 2-1. can you believe that?

super bowl or bust. right now, i think it's safe to say that fans are a little shocked. not really sure what happened in orchard park. >> they definitely need to go back to the drawing board and figure out what's going on. because i don't know what kind of performance that was. that was pretty ridiculous. >> it was rough. it was ugly. that was not good. it's not a winning team right there. not good at all. >> reporter: the bright side is nobody seems to be jumping off team just yet. someone we spoke to said the cards will be just fine because the seahawks are not as good as they usually are. remind you that the seahawks won big over the 90s today, but russell wilson the quarterback did suffer a sprained mcl so we'll have to see his availability moving forward next week and then in that game right here in a month when seattle comes to town on sunday

?? >> we're going to be good. 4-0. >> no. like last year. >> the dodgers have clinched the division. ?? >> mercy. nothing was clicking for the cardinals today. carson palmer was pressured and harassed throwing four interceptions. defensively they give up over 200 yards rushing and teams, oh, those errant snaps can be costly. >> we talked all week about getting up to a fast start. it's the slowest one we've had in four years offensively. >> from the 25, palmer going deep, looking for john brown and it is nearly picked off by corey graham! >> disappointed in the way we played. disappointed myself and the way i played. >> able to bring pressure. the pass on second and one is picked off! by gilmore.

left. 13 games left. so we need to find a way to improve. if there's one thing this team does is play hard. we are going to pound it out. figure out ways to improve and get ready for a good football team coming to our place. >> palmer steps up and throws, it is picked off! >> a couple 50-50 balls. they made plays and did a good job. >> palmer fires and it is picked off by corey graham! palmer pump fake, throws, to the end zone, it is intercepted! >> some miscommunication a couple times. it's one of the things we need to iron out. >> just continue to make mistakes in all three phases. >> high snap. catanzaro chasing after the ball, still loose! >> gave up the 50-yard run to tyrod, let him go out on -- get out on the scramble. things we emphasized we could not do and it's not easy.

weeks of preparation. practices are hard and physical. couldn't ask for anything more. just not showing up on sunday. when you find that out, each team. >> all right. let's talk more about this cardinals disaster with arizona rattlers head coach kevin guy. the rattlers have been in the arena bowl championship game five of the last six years and of course nfl insider jay taylor and while i have the coach, let's talk about this number 1 thing on my mind right off the top. games this season, have yet to find the scoreboard at all. as a coach, how do you fix something like this? >> you've got to go out and work your way out of it. it's about execution. you've got to go out and practice and get your timing down between quarterback and receivers. they put their time in the off- season trying to get the timing down. for some reason struggling this year but i think they'll come out of it. they've got a talented roster

>> you've said the time between the receivers and quarterback which to me is just i mean, i watched michael floyd run behind receivers, or defensive back six use me. and i watched carson palmer look like he is thrown to spots but his receivers aren't there. jay, both you and coach, talk to me about this. >> part of it has to do with what the defense sees versus what the offense sees. as a defender when you see a receiver run a if you know you have inside help, like on that pass to floyd, looked like he had inside help so he jumped outside. as an offense, you've got to think more about where do i need to put the ball? because we're pressing. you watch the game, cardinals were pressing a lot. they've got to come back to the sideline and look at the last series. i thought he was doing this but he did this. so let's cut this route shorter. because the buffaloes -- the buffalo bills did a great job of not getting behind them.

not getting deep, let's go underneath and that's probably what they should've done. >> how do you fix it? just as simple or easy as going back to practice trying to correct things? i hear that in coach speak a lot but seriously, cardinal fans right now are beginning to panic. they are jumping on that panic button right now. how do you fix a team that is lacking in execution? >> you've got to get out and work your way out of it. get yourim practice. put that practice time in. i don't think there's any reason for the cardinals fans to hit the panic buttons. there's a lot of football left to be played. but when they get to work they have to turn up their tempo a little bit. and get their timing down. >> that's a crucial point. people got to realize the first four games of the season are almost like the preseason because what they don't get done in preseason they are getting worked out now. not necessarily how you start, it's how you finish.
