Arizona Cardinals players react to loss to Panthers and end of season

The 2014 season is over for the Arizona Cardinals. They lost 27-16 to the Carolina Panthers on Saturday and now they will return home and clean out their lockers. But a few reacted to the loss on Twitter. They want us to believe there is optimism for 2015.

What do you think?

Tough loss. Definitely thought we coulda got that one. But it was one heck of a season and glad I was able to play on this team. #Birdgang

Tough way to end a great year. But I know this, we proved to the @nfl we are NOT the same old @AZCardinals #Contenders #Fighters #P2Nation

Rookie year is in the books. It's an honor to be with the @AZCardinals. We must learn from it, heal up and go at it hard next year #cantwait
