The Arizona Cardinals lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 27-17 in embarrassing fashion on Friday. There was really nothing clicking for the team -- not on offense or defense. The quarterback situation is no clearer than it was before the start of the preseason. It was frustrating for everyone involved.
After the game, many of the players reacted to the loss on Twitter with a mix of frustration and hopefulness. Hit the jump to see what they tweeted.
John Skelton was one of the first. Now don't read too much into the fact that Kevin Kolb didn't tweet anything. He just doesn't tweet.
No need to hit a panic button yet, still three preseason games ahead. But offensively we need to find a way to start faster.

The offensive line responded as well:
Disappointed with the way the offense played tonight. Gonna start faster and help the D out. Tomorrow's a chance to get better.

Frustrated about how tonight went. But not worried at all. We have a great group of men on this team.
