It was hard to disagree with Larry Fitzgerald Thursday night when he said it felt like every time he turned around, trainers were running on to the field. I don't know if football on a short week had anything to do with some of the injuries — when a large man rolls up on your leg during a play, that's not day-of-the-week-related — but nonetheless, when you are talking about looking forward, that's where you start.

A loss is a loss and it took a late touchdown to get a six-point deficit, but mostly, the Cards felt they put themselves in a position where they could have beaten the Seahawks. They didn't, they are in a bad place in terms of chasing a playoff spot with seven games to go, and part of the reason it's a bad place is because the injuries are headed to insurmountable.

If D.J. Humphries is done with an ACL injury, it's a killer. A big reason the Cards' offensive line had so many problems earlier in the year was because their left tackle was hurt. He had truly taken a step forward, and now his 2017 season sounds like it could be over after just five games. As good as Tyvon Branch has been this season, that is a little different, because Budda Baker is there and he'll get a chance to have some defensive snaps.

Meanwhile, John Wetzel will go back into the lineup. I don't expect Jared Veldheer to flip sides, but we'll see. And the Cardinals will have to make it work.

-- Adrian Peterson got his carries. He just couldn't get any yards. But the Cardinals stuck with it.

-- It wasn't a good game for Peterson with the fumble on the first play and the safety. But the Cardinals' punt return team can't put the offense on its own 2 against the Seattle defense, with Kerwynn Williams fielding a ball inside his own 5 and then Justin Bethel getting a second holding call.

-- Also, for those complaining about the Peterson run on the safety with the loaded box, I'll respectfully disagree. If Stanton had thrown on first down and there was a holding call in the end zone or he was sacked, the village folk would've come after Arians with the torches and pitchforks. I'm OK with a run. Just has to be executed much better.

-- I understand Antoine Bethea might’ve played the Baldwin 54-yard catch differently, especially when it was second-and-a-mile. I get that. But don't talk to me about Russell Wilson being lucky. When he's done it dozens — he's probably up to the hundreds at this point — of times, it's not luck anymore. The guy is both amazing and frustrating. Knowing he'll be a roadblock to the Cards for years makes him feel like Jordan with the Bulls and the Cards are those Cavaliers from back in the day.

-- Drew Stanton made some bad throws. But I felt like his pass catchers let him down more than he had errant throws. (Waits for everyone to say how Blaine Gabbert needs to start)

-- Fitz was solid. Another 100-yard game, and it might've been the quietest 100-yard game of Fitz's career.

-- The Seahawks had 12 penalties, and they were already leading the league with more than 10 a game. Six of them gave the Cardinals first downs.

-- Chandler Jones gets another sack, his 10th. Of course, I'm sure he wishes he had gotten his 11th on that second-and-21.

-- Defensive lineman Olsen Pierre had an excellent game. And cornerback Tramon Williams continues to show he has something left.

-- OK, that's enough for tonight. The mini-bye awaits, and the Deshaun Watson-less Texans, in Houston, are next. Time to regroup. Again.
