Thing is, I think these kind of games are exactly what JC and the team need. I'd rather them get it out of their system, improve, and learn those lessons that only come in moments of struggle and loss THIS season than next season when the slate is wiped clean.

Learning how to bounce back from a bad showing and come back the next quarter or week is a key trait of a great QB. Look at what happens to guys who win all throughout college and then come into the NFL and choke, it's like they never regain their footing, they're just reeling because they have all this pressure to not screw up.

I got stuck watching the Ravens game so I only caught the "high"lights, but that pickle that popped off Cooley's pads seemed fluky and it sounded like the ball bounced Philly's way a couple of times. We ran all over them, didn't get killed by Westy, and JC learned a bunch (without getting seriously hurt). What else can you really ask for at this point?
