We were not in a great position to win. I'm not asking for a pretty win, but I'd like to see our coaching staff do a better job at responding to schemes done by the opposing defense. The way that the game was going, there was little that told me that the offense could have made something with that drive.
DJax made a ridiculously boneheaded play. He also scored a TD to tie the game. But at the end of the day, all that SHIT is a little too late because the offense couldn't do squat for 99 percent of the game.
I know we are devoid of talent in certain areas. But I don't think the team looked this helpless when playing against the Pats or Carolina. I have a huge issue with the coaching staff not being able to prepare/motivate players for an important game (see first Giants game) or not being able to react and adjust.
We lost to Matt Fucking Cassell because the offense couldn't muster points early in the game and the team put themselves into a situations at the end of the game that left little room for error.
Bitch all you want about DJax, but the same stupid mistakes keep happening and we're going to continue to lose winnable games.

I said plenty of things could have changed last night. But please do not compare a kicker missing a fg to a player taking his team 23 yards in the wrong direction and than coughing up the ball with 2-1/2 minutes left to a missed kick? Yeah djax tied it up but we never should have had to tie it up. We were in a great position to win. We had the ball with 2-1/2 minutes left and should have had decent field position. In a tie game. We should have needed roughly 25-30 yards to kick a fg and could have used up time while they used up timeouts. How is that not being in a great position to win?
