I saw the hit on the replay on the Jumbotron; he hit my arm and it popped right out, I might have been carrying it too low. We always talk high and tight, and I might have had it down too low where he was able to hit it.

This is one of the things that bothers me. I "might" have done this wrong or that wrong. Own it, you failed, deal with it. It happens.
There's no flat out, I did this wrong and I'll correct it by doing it this way instead of that way. It's always some shit about 'might' have done it this way or we 'may' have not played how we should have.
It's a weak mentality that seems to ride borderline excuses. With his fumble, there was no might, theres no maybe, he flat out held the ball too loose. Own it!
James Jones has similar comments last week too.
I really think this team believes because of the expectations many have about them, they don't have to put in the work or be accountable.
I'm not upset, or pissed, I mean, we did win, that's great. I just think we need a stronger mentality if we're going to beat the better teams in the league. We got beat by a Bears team that we should have won and we let the Lions stick around far longer than we should have.
I also attribute that to being a division game as those should be close games by default because of familiarity.
