What cost us

[lightsout]

This is just from what I can recall. Feel free to add to it.

 

- Turnovers. Obviously can't have them. DJ fumbling twice absolutely set us back, and Cam's arm being hit resulted in an INT. Can't control the latter as much as the former, but if just one of those fumbles doesn't happen this game is a win.

- Piss poor game management. About 1:30 before half, ball inside your 10. You're down and need at least three before the half OR you need to kill clock to ensure no more points for the opposing team. What do we do? Run twice and pass on 3rd and 8 when the Redskins used their last time out after the 2nd down play. Absolutely absurd.

- Defense daring yet another bad QB to beat us with underneath throws. And he did. Seriously, I don't care what coaches at any level say, if your defense is starting at the QB and not checking where the routes are in relation to their zone, you are counting on the QB making a bad throw. We constantly lose guys because we have 7 guys behind the DL watching the football and not defending his receivers.

- Not stopping the run. Got beat up front. Simple as that. 

- Cam not looking to get the first on third down on the last drive. Poor recognition by Cam that close to the endzone with 2 time outs.

I believe that not going for it on 4th down, on our opening drive cost us the game. It let the players know that the coaching staff had no trust in them and the players lost all confidence in the coaching staff. I just hope that that one call by Ron Rivera does not cause the players to quit on Ron and cost us the season

[Pantha-kun]

We had a chance to win at the end and cam blew it with terrible passes 

[t96]

Cam's pick didn't really matter. Was basically a punt. That was 3rd and long... DJ's turnovers and bad playcalling was the difference.

said it in another thread...it was a poo show for 3 1/2 quarters, but with a chance to win it despite all of that, the last 3 plays is to blame.

BTW no offense is afraid of our defense

No defense is afraid of our offense. They play the run and even if they give up some TDs they know our passing game is too inconsistent to beat them. Regardless of if we win or not that's how teams play us...been easy to see for years.

What cost is Cam choking at the end with 3 bad passes in a row to end the game.

Cam doesnt choke, he was stellar that whole drive.  We should have gone for the first down instead of the endzone.  With 3 timeouts we could have ran it even

[LiberalsRWeak93]

At the end of the day? CAM CAM CAM.... 

 

TWO BAD CHOICES AND ONE ASS THROW.

[FugAllY'all]

Yeah, Cam's interception was basically a punt and cost us nothing.

We lost this game because of DJ Moore's two fumbles and run defense not being able to stop an old and busted child beater from running the ball.

Eventually Eric Washington and Rivera need to realize that this front four is not capable of getting pressure to allow for zone coverage. We are going to have to start taking chances with brining five or six guys. QBs like brees, Ryan, Smith are going to dink and dunk this zone to death. 

We have good enough corners to play some man and blitz.

Agree. Love my QB but Cam shiit the bed at the end.  

[Snake]

Defense killed us. We can blame the fumbles or the lack of passing but when you allow Alex Smith to sit in the pocket and choose his man that's a total loss every time. We didn't make them punt but once and we didn't control the line. Total collapse. 

[musicman]

DJ's fumbles cost us the game because it gave them life early and they rode that all the way. Everything else doesn't matter.
