I honestly think that this is what happen when you clinch a playoff spot with more than a month to go in the regular season. Our team hadn't played a meaningful game since. . . I actually can't remember.

I'll still always bleed green and gold, it's just sad to see them go down in a heaping pile of shit, instead of playing hard, honest football.

I respect the difference in opinion, but I really don't understand the theories about clinching early, or bye-week rust. They didn't play well. Pin the tail on the mistakes made, because that is a tangible exercise.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

I just think our defense had an enourmous case of tiny nut syndrome all year. I expect them to come back very hungry next year. On offense, I think we are good to go even if Driver and Clifton retire. But next year McCarthy has to get more inventive with Cobb, but that weapon was underutilized. We have all the pieces in place to be very good for the long haul, but we lost this game by a team that was more hungry than we were.

I'm a little concerned about the D scheme as well. I know it was successful in the past two years with Capers, but as other teams' coaches have alluded to, it's a bit predictable. The fact that our D-line are "space eaters" only adds to that. When you only have to consider pressure from a few places, you can put a body on those rushers and deal with it fairly easily. I'd like to see more freedom for the defensive linemen. I'm not worried about Neal yet except for injuries. He hasn't had any time to get into a groove playing with the injuries. I thought Brad Jones had one of the best game on defense today.

I think the draft will be more of the same, and rightly so. Go after the best player available and keep building the team.

The problem on D was due to injuries. Who knows, maybe Neal will even come back at full strength. I'm still more worried about the offense. Agree on Cobb but he was a rookie this year. He'll be utilized more next year for sure.

I am really worried about our Karma too, lol. We got two pretty insane calls (the Jennings "non-fumble" and the Rodgers "hit to the helmet" - which led to our only two touchdowns) and one pretty strange call (that spot the Giants got on that Bradshaw run at the 50). And we still lost. Now we are due for a game where it goes the opposite!

But our team is great for marketing. We're small town, locally owned and have an old school "team first" ethic among the guys in our locker room. So yeah, I don't think there's some "karma," but I do think there's an agenda there. But for now it plays into our hands.
Generally I think the refs make calls to keep games close, to maximize tv ratings. But I do think there is also an agenda for certain teams, even moreso in the playoffs.

Excuses are a reason for not facing the truth. We lived by our offense and died by our offense.
