Take away's from the game for me are that a lot of it was an accumulation of players making individual mistakes undermining the team. Nothing insidious, just guys maybe trying too hard on a big stage. The first TD Armstrong failed to set the edge, and on top of that caused a pile up that sealed the deal. All 3 fumbles were mental errors. I discount the INT because we were in desperation mode and often Scary comes up with those disputed catches. But in a game like that, you can't afford those errors, especially against a better team. Given how we've played mostly turnover free football to date, I have to put that on the players themselves, not on coaches.

We lacked talent and played with heart and determination to get to this game. Hate to say it, but the Eagles are probably the most complete team in the NFC this year, if not the league. A good QB with a great OL, RB and #1 WR, and a great D. I'll be watching the SB for a hopefully great game; I couldn't give a crap who wins, as I dislike both teams, but I love football.

I trust Peters will do his best in filling the roster holes, notably with the right kind of players, not just great athletes. So much this season has been said about the culture shift. Like the Patriots dynasty and now the Chiefs, it starts with culture. We want more like Luvu, Daniels, McClaurin, Chinn and Wagner to elevate the team above the X's and O's. We're out from under the Snyder cloud of stench, we've got a great GM, great coaches our QB of the future and the core of a great team. Keep building that and we should be back here multiple times in the next 10 years.

It stings, but the future has SOOO much potential.

Anyone who doesn’t feel like this has a very short memory. We are relevant again and it has been 1 year.

Very likely this will be the worst roster we'll have for the foreseeable future.
