I agree with the sane non-knee jerk comments in here. It wasn't pretty to watch at times, but as ever this season, they went toe to toe with a winning team and barring some errors/bad decisions, could have won. It hurts, but look how far we've come in one offseason?

Last night was down to coaches out thinking themselves. If you can't get 1 yard on 2 run plays against that DL, then you likely aren't getting it on the 3rd. Try the FG, if you get the 3 you kick off and hope your D can keep them out of FG range. That shows more confidence in them than the gamble and putting them in must get a stop mode.

Can't blame any players, even JD5; he had a mediocre game by his standards, but he was under pressure all night and got little help from his receivers (Scary where are you?). Take 10 days to heal up and get guys back on the field. There is nothing saying we can't win out, whether the odds are bad or not, or at worst go 4 & 2 the rest of the way. We want to win the division yes, but that was pie in the sky 6 months ago, and we're on the cusp of the playoffs which was equally unlikely. As long as DQ etc. learn from their mistakes and we can stay healthy, we still have a very real chance of making the playoffs.
