The Tie

[LUUUUUKE]

It quickly went from a tie breaker for a potential Division Title to now most definitely costing us a spot in the 2015 NFL Draft

Yep

Exactly it's going to come back and haunt is

[LUUUUUKE]

Thanks Shane Graham, next time just make the damned kick! This will definitely cost us a pick, and probably a perennial pro bowler. We'll likely reach and draft an O-Lineman from some obscure Division II school, because he's a "Hog Molly"

This is a rebuild. Reset your clocks to 3 years, and longer if Cam bounces. I seriously wouldn't question him now if he did leave.

Most of the teams picking ahead of us will be drafting QB's. Amari Cooper will fall in our laps.

Yea, it would've been better now if Nugent had just made the kick.

If we get Cooper YET keep Shula I may implode.

That's like being on house arrest at the Playboy mansion but you can never leave your room or have anyone visit.

[Cary Kollins]

Who cares. With that same logic the wins over TB, Detroit and Chicago are also fugging us.

[Dexterity]

I don't get why people were happy about a tie and thought it could be a positive. All along it was either gonna cost us the division by falling a win short, or screw up our draft order by giving us one fewer losses.

[ThinkAboutIt]

As soon as they ended that game in a tie, I said they were done. I've followed this organization for too long not to know what was coming next. 

 

Not ending a game with a loss despite not winning meant their play to follow would result in more losses. It's just like when they hear that another team's best player won't be playing and they find a way to make that team's backups look just as good, or when they hear that a team like Pittsburg can't run the ball or pressure the QB, that team ends us rushing for more yards than it has in years and nearly setting sack records.

 

If it's one thing this team should be known for, it's taking good fortune and squandering it. A tie was 0.5 of a win (and 0.5 of a loss), but they only saw it as "not a loss." They felt fortunate that it wasn't a loss, and here we are. No wins since. 

 

And I'm not surprised by it. They wouldn't be winless since the Cincinnati game had they won or lost it.

 

I blame the coach for not being able to recognize patterns like this, and righting the ship. He's just along for the ride "hoping and believing" that it will correct itself.

That would be a dream come true.

[Khaki Lackey]

Yep, that tie. That's what ruined our season.

[ThinkAboutIt]

That would be a dream come true.

 

What good is a WR if the QB only has 2 seconds to throw the ball? Are you all unable to learn?
