Hopefully RR or Washington wasn't in the locker room when he said this. If so, that is blind faith...

Also, I think it is safe to say we will do nothing in the playoffs (if we even make it). Team has looked like crap on the road, outside of the miraculous Philly comeback (which they still looked like crap for 3 quarters). Having to play on the road at LA, the Saints, and either the NFC north or east winner seems like an impossible feat.

Sadly I think you are pretty correct here. Even if we do make the playoffs, we would need home field advantage to have even a chance to win our games. This team just does not play well at all when away from home.

Sadly, I think this is a lack of focus more than talent - which starts with the coach. Seems like every road game we look like we don't give a poo for the first 3 quarters and then actually start playing to the level they are capable of in the 4th Q

I know...a good coach would have canceled all time off and had them watching film and practicing...every friggin day

Agree-practice--every day--probably make the 5 yard pass for 2 pts.

Gano has an all-time great leg, he's just never going to be remotely reliable.

And Butker misses from 63...so we move on from here in same spot...

I don't put this loss squarely on Gano. I think it's equally shared by Gano and Funchess. If either of those guys perform their jobs adequately, we likely win. If both do, we likely win comfortably.

I'm done blaming the D in losses if we hold the other team under 30. At this point we know what we have on that side if the ball and it isn't good. We have to come into every game with the mentality of being prepared to win a shootout.

You too my friend--any other words of wisdom?

There's simply too much inconsistency for this to be a talent issue alone resulting in losses like this. There is plenty of untapped offensive potential. On the defense you're just going to have to take your losses wherever they may be at this point. Our talent on defense has been depleted. But if the staff in place actually has a plan to maximize the core talents that keep this team competitive we should never see losses to bad teams like this one. Ultimately I think we're misfiring out there in general because we are getting outcoached more often than not. It's not something that can't be corrected. But correcting that certainly doesn't begin with coaches throwing players under the bus at every opportunity while deflecting blame.

The late hit on cam when he got hurt should have been flagged and we wouldn’t have had to punt bc Funch drops another pass on 3rd and 8
