I think everyone knows the sky is not falling but right after the game last night you would not have gotten that impression. Whatever player fans love to hate were on the hot seat last night after the game. As an example Grossman was a god after 2 games, no one could touch him, he was leading us to a SB. After the game all you read was how Grossman is not the future of this team and he should be fired. How the team should have drafted a QB. How Beck who really has done nothing in this league should be starting over a QB who has taken a team in the past to a SB.

Then there were the Hall hatters coming out of the woodwork talking about how it's all his fault for not covering the WR better, or how he provided the 15 yrd penalty. Even though one could look at film and say while Hall was trying to grab the WR around his shoulders the WR bent over more to prepare for the tackle causing the face mask to hand contact. But in any event Hall got a flag.

Haslett has put together a decent defense. I'm supprised. I would not have picked Haslett but he's here and honestly doing a better job then I thought he would. But after last nights game it was fire Haslett for putting together 3 all out blitzes in a row.

People over looked our LT and RT making holding penalties, or wiffing on DE's who ran past them, or failed to block well enough for Grossman. There's not call for them to be fired or be replaced. The media already broke down the 3-21 blitz and both Landry and Fletcher blitzed at the same time which was poor communication. It should have only been 1 blitzing or so they thought. The other was supposed to drop back and didn't. No calls for their heads or jobs.

This is probably why the OP started this thread. I'm not happy about the loss but I'll accept it because honestly I had this as a loss prior to the season starting. Now if they lose to Dallas in Washington I'll be pissed. Because I'm expecting a win there along with the crowd to make it extremely difficult for the Cowboys to hear the plays and do their jobs. Honestly though .... how many of you had the team at 3-0? or 4-0 at the bye? Most of you have the team 8-8 or 7-9 for the season. I think any of us would be happy had someone told us the team would be 2-1 heading to the Rams. Hopefully we can be 3-1 going into the bye. Then come out swinging.

It's almost as if I was pointing out the irony in jamf's original post ("This was our Super Bowl and we blew it")

I know. I feel the same way. Winning monday night in their house would have been a SB jr. But, we have chance to beat them late in the season and if we are in playoff contention by then, it can be a sweeter win than this one would have been.

Had we beat them last night we would have been hearing nothing but excuses about how beat up they were blah blah blah....

dgack,

I was not as mad after this game either. What made me mad was Dallas looked so bad and we couldn't capitalize off it. People want to throw Grossman under the bus but Romo was not any better and if you ask me is looked worse. What did he have 5 fumbles and 2 interceptions? Grossman had similar if not slightly better ball security. The only thing that helps Romo stats right now is his 3-21 pass otherwise for the night he looked horrid stat wise.

Hard to believe with all those botched snaps that one of them didn't bounce our way.

This still haunts me.
It was a WTF night all night.
In the iffy three hours I did sleep last night I dreamed of bouncing footballs.

Yes we would have definitly have heard the same comments about how the Skins barely beat an injured riddled Dallas team. Just like we heard after the Giants game..... but it's funny how the Eagles (dream team) could not beat the same injured riddled Giants team.

I got to admit, I was really fearing the Eagles this season but not so much anymore. Not saying they can't explode but they can be exploited for sure.

LOL, maybe the coaching staff can show one of those old cartoons that had the bouncing ball that followed the words to the story.... but use a football instead. lol. Force the players to follow the bouncing ball. lol.

We've got two months before we play Dallas again, and like I said, these two franchises are headed in different directions in my opinion.

If we manage to avoid significant injuries I would fully expect us to be better on the offensive side of the ball by late November, and just as dominant on D. We should win that game.

I beg to differ, I woke up with a cloud of depression hovering over me.

If Kyle Shanahan gets his head out of his ass and makes significant adjustments to the Garbage Red Zone play calling we could be a really solid team.

One other thing. We have absolutely NO DEEP THREAT PASSING GAME. NONE.
Even with Armstrong being hurt our ability to get behind the last level of the secondary has been a SHIT SHOW this year.

Otherwise with a win next week I will be very happy with where the team is at through 1/4 of the season! Must beat the Rams.

Also Ryan Kerrigan is a BEAST.
