I'm completely worried about our offense right now. We have scored 50 pts in the last 3 weeks, Bevell shows no ability to adjust or get creative and our WRs disappear.

So notes
1. the 12th man was indeed loud, very loud 137+ decibel level according to the board.
2. the refs did indeed suck, while I will not blame them for the loss, I have not seen some any bad calls, and non calls in a long long time.
3. Rw was indeed off, but not as off as you might think but off.
4. Our Wr were not getting open most of the time, and there were at least 3 balls that should have been caught, Baldwins being one, and when Rw was scrambling they were not moving at all.
5.Thee play calling g was pathetic, 1 wr screen that gets god yards but then nothing. Very few quick throws, or crossing patterns. Very conservative and predictable.
6. The defense was huge today, of course except when it mattered and we had the lead, a pattern of sorts with them.
7. Turbin should not be returning kicks at all.
8. O-line could not run block, and could barely pass block when ore than 3 guys were coming
9. Lynch left a lot of yards on the field making the wrong cut or waiting.
10. Penalties yet a gain cost us a lot.
11. Lack of any adjustments at all.
The biggest issue to me is play calling and lack of adjustments.

Don't be sorry, Steady. You are on point...our offense is the Achilles Heal.

Nobody said our QB was "our biggest problem" and it's possible you and I were watching different games. Both defenses played extremely well. Much better than their respective QBs / offenses. Our D gave up 17 total points after staying on the field the majority of the game.
OTOH, after being gifted 3 TOs and excellent field position by our defense, the offense managed just 3 pts thru 3 qtrs and had numerous 3 and outs. Speaking of 3, #3 didn't look too good, either. What exactly did you expect from our defense?

OK, from your list of points I think the game hinged on (in order of criticality to the outcome of this game):
4. We were dropping balls that we usually catch, yes some would have been spectacular catches, but highlight reel catches have become the norm for us, until this game.
8. Terrible game from our O-line (more on these first two later)
2. and 10. Our own penalties as usual hurt us badly, but not as badly as that last blown call that thwarted our usual last minute comeback ... the moral of this story is to stop making these 2 minute drills necessarry!
7. I've been watching Robert since his college days, never seen him hold the ball so carelessly! His returns were fine, most got us past the 20, but what the hell is up with holding that ball so out there for anyone that wants it? Squeeze that sumbitch man!
But the one factor not mentioned, that was the single biggest reason we lost that game is how well that Cardinals defense played! #'s 4 & 8 can almost wholly be attributed to the way they smothered our receivers; Wilson was going through his progressions just fine, there just were no open check downs, and got after the pass rush! Particularly in how they did so with such fantastic lane responsibility ... poor Russell had nowhere to go when he did find no open receivers. (There was a play when he did break free on at at least one run opportunity he threw a ball he should have kept and ran for the easy first down, but you can't really come down too hard on him for wanting to get his receivers into the game).
Overall I see more credit to the Cards than blame for us, we did NOT give that game away, they won it outright.
