It's a long season, tell me something positive.

I'm bummed out but I'm not depressed. 

We can name a laundry list of things we didn't do right. Sometimes you have to take a step back, look at the big picture and focus on the positives. (Understanding we have to work on our weaknesses)

1-First and foremost. All mistakes are correctable. As Coach said we really did "shoot ourself in the foot"... yea in this game we pulled a "Burress" or a "Talib" 

2- We were without a pillar of our offense. If some don't realize, J-Stew is as important to our offense as one leg on a table. CAP did a decent job, Fozzy and Tolozier were there. All three RB's combined can't reproduce the kind of production and just as important... threat that  28 brings. 

3- Our defense played well. The scoreboard might not reflect it but we made good stops. I was really encouraged by the play of Bradberry. The more experience he gets, the more solid he becomes. 

4- Offensively we are talent rich and dangerous. Sure we made a lot of mistakes, we were not in sync from bottom to top, but the talent is there. 

5- We will rebound and become more focused. Let's keep it real, everything that went on during the week effected EVERYONE. This board was effected, the guy that sweeps the floor was effected and you dam well better belive every person in this organization didn't have full focus on this game. There are more important issues than football.  (sometimes) This time was one of them. 

Take a deep breath. Again, it's a long season of ups and downs. Steady trending upwards wins the day normally. 

It's difficult... not looking for excuses but I challenge you to talk about something positive you saw.

the early season is unpredictable

the steelers who looked invincible are getting absolutely handled in philadelphia right now

the rams are in the middle of hanging 31 (make that 38) on the bucs right now after looking like they didn't have a pulse on offense in weeks 1 and 2

you don't truly know what you're looking at until midseason basically

I had to work and couldn't watch so sorry if this is a stupid question. But is there a reason why no one is talking about how bad we are at protecting the football? We out gained our opponents every game but stupid penalties and a terrible turnover differential screwed us.

Our defense is much better than advertised and has not been the issue, Defense has only been responsible for giving up a combined 20 points over the last two games. Offense and Special teams gave up 17 points against the 49'ers and 12 points today.  Defense only giving up 10 points per game over the last two games is really impressive even if our pressure getting to the QB hasnt been the greatest. it's also far from the cause of the issue.

Other good news is we played two of the 3 toughest teams we will play all year over the first 3 games, and we wont have our next major team to face till seattle on december 4th, the NFC south for the next 3 games, and arizona flying to us cross country after the Bye is just what the doctor ordered to right the ship.

we have the best offense and defense of any of the NFCS teams, and that's not open for debate.

You lost the challenge. 

I will say that one interception could be described as a "Hail Mary " at the end of the half. The other was just a garbage time pick, no effect on the game at that point.

That's what I'm talking about.

    • LOL! We have ourselves a funny one over here.  
    • That’s why I love Jake and always will.  He was so fuging gritty and definitely was a gunslinger.  Like a not-quite-poor-man’s Brett Favre.  Like an economy version lol.  He was damn good.  Yeah, he’d throw a pick here or there, but more often than not, I trusted Jake.  He’d make some throws that really made you think, “damn, he’s even better than I thought.”  I loved that he loved to gamble, but more importantly, he gave his guys a fuging chance to make a play.  When people have been criticizing Tet for drops, it pisses me off, because they say it like these are some gimmes that he’s dropping.  but, at about 6’5”, if your whole body is moving one way and you have to stop or slow down to come back to a ball thrown behind you, or low, that poo is not easy.  Bryce isn’t really giving him a chance, and I can see why he’s dropping them.  Versus if you look at this highlight reel of Moose: at about halfway through is when Jake stepped in.  The passes he was throwing are CRAZY.  There’s multiple passes in there where he is throwing across his body while running the opposite way - and he still had the strength to get it on target.  Then there’s the throws where he lasers it in a spot only the receiver could get it - seam routes, out routes, over the top. The longer you watch, the more obvious it is that so many of these (what should be basic) throws are completely absent from our offense with Bryce.  There was a play today where he started to scramble, kept looking, looking, looking, then just threw it into the ground near the receiver.  Let them make a fuging play.  His best pass of the day?  The long one to Tet?  If you re-watch it. About 10-15 yards further downfield, XL smoked his man on a post route.  You get maybe 3 chances at that a game usually, and when you don’t even attempt it when it’s there?  That poo is so demoralizing.  I can’t wait for Bryce’s time here to be fuging over.  If they cut him tomorrow I would feel free.  I would feel like I just won the fuging powerball.  If they signed Heineke, Perkins, White, PJ Walker, or Hooker to start the rest of the year, I would be fuging ecstatic like we just trotted Cam out for the first time.  That how fuging life-sucking Bryce is as the QB.
    • Aren't they about the same size too? Why TF are teams all of sudden drafting these small ass QBs that have an EXTREMELY low hit rate at an already extremely low hit rate position?
