The after London semi-meltdown thread.

10-5-1.
I think we win 5 more games. Beat Minnesota, Dallas, philly, NY and Chicago. Make the wild card and win on the road!

Worst case 8-7-1

I say we beat Minn, Packers, Philly, NY, Carolina, Bears.

PFF has Anthony Lanier as the 5th best defensive player today. I know he recovered the fumble, but i did not notice him most of the game. He did not register a tackle in the game stats.

well that was some crazy shit.

looks like matt jones is worthless after all.

First and foremost- this team has fight.

It wasn't too long ago, that we were finishing below .500 every year.

I know it sucks to lose tight games, but....at least we are IN these games to the end. It wasn't always like that.

So, that's step #1.

Step #2 is to learn to finish more of these games & bring home the win.

It won't take take much to get to step 2 consistently.
Josh Norman needs called out by his teammates to cut out the stupid penalties.
He knows better- he'll clean it up.

Hopkins- I am still behind this guy. Yeah, he had a bad game & missed a few make-able kicks. He is still light years ahead of the chumps we used to roll through here.
Anyone remember the (what was it?) 8-10 years of sub-par kickers?
He's still young & he'll reflect & learn from this.

So we get to the halfway point & now have a bye week.
Time to get healthy, look back on what could have been better & get a plan to fix it.

Things are not all bleak...there is a lot of positive to be taken from the crappy outcome today.

We're at the half way mark & we're 1.5 games over .500. We all know it could be more & so do the players & coaches. That should give everyone more confidence & resolve to get the rest of the little things ironed out & start rocking for the second half & the playoff run.

Hail!

Is it okay to feel the need to physically beat the entire ref crew today? FFS, the game was over 4 hours long and about a third of the penalties were just bullshit. Isn't it clear the league ratings are way fucking down...clean this bulkshit up now goodell. It's unwatchable and all these commercial timeouts to go along with this crap makes watching an entire game tough.

Yes. Just don't act on that feeling :)

They are still a few players away on defense, and they can play sloppy and make a ton of mistakes and still almost win against decent teams.

It's really frustrating to hear gruden say "we got to get back to running the ball" or "we abandoned the run there for awhile". He siad this shit after halftime today.

Your the fuckin head coach, do something about it. I've heard this said 3 to 4 times after games, during games.
I agree. He is the HC, he is the emperor of the team, get it done!!!

We're not winning the SB. But making the playoffs 2 years in a row would be excellent progress. So that's what I want. This tie might haunt us later.

We need to run the ball more. Gotta keep pounding it even if it doesn't work immediately. Both to have the run be a threat and to wear down their front 7.

100% agree with you there. I've never seen the Skins make consecutive playoff berths since I've been old enough to remember. There's still hope this season cab make it happen!
