Arizona has plenty to address in an offseason that promises to be packed with change, starting all the way at the top. That's the result of a 5-11 season -- one that included a nine-game slide.
Arizona needs to find itself a quarterback, then get four or five guys to protect said quarterback, then give that quarterback some running back support. But next year’s schedule will be relatively familiar. The Cardinals have eight games against teams they played in 2012, with rematches against Detroit and Philadelphia joining the team’s normal NFC West slate.
Games against the AFC South, however, won't be a pushover, as Houston ranks among the NFL's best and Indianapolis appears to have righted the ship behind Andrew Luck. Until Arizona brings in reinforcements, it’s tough to predict how the Cardinals will fare next season.
Cardinals 2013 schedule
Home: St. Louis, San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Carolina, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis
Away: St. Louis, San Francisco, Seattle, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Tennessee
