OK so maybe they just give up one score but the way this game is going that could be a tall wall to climb

 

[richig07]

I feel like things will pickup in the 2nd for both teams.

3-0 is whatever...

Must score this next drive for the Fins as it seems the Saints did in fact get their head out of their ass at the half and could turn this into a route at any moment

 

[Paolo305613]

The Fins could've challenged that spot - Fins coaches and players must make the right decisions as they approach the rest of this game - going with the tough guy approach will only work for so long

 

[Paolo305613]

Classic Fins D - 3rd and long and give up a 1st down due to more lack of tackling

 

[Paolo305613]

Of course we don't pick up that fumble

 

[Paolo305613]

And then we let them back into field goal range to run up the score

 

[Paolo305613]

Old school near turnover for Cutler may have just ruined another drive and sealed our fate in this game

I dont want to make it seem like an excuse given the negative result for the Fins - but I think it was a huge mistake to wait until thursday to fly to London - by doing so the Fins had to settle for just a walkthrough and very little actual practice and necessary preparation for this game.

This is on the coaches. They basically surrendered to their situation and did nothing to make the best of it.

As broadcasters said, if the Fins don't get it together next week it could be a long season. Its really time for Gase to give up on the tough talk and throwing the teams shortcomings under the rug - realize them and address them - otherwise get out of the way for someone who will

 

[Paolo305613]

Under four to go and down by 20 I am sure now Adam Gase will do a better job of play calling as he did in garbage time last week vs Jets in similar situation

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins get reacquainted with the TE again in garbage time of course

From this point forward, the Fins need to come up with a game plan for a given week and stick to it until the bitter end. Thats not to say they shouldn't make adjustments - but part of the problem this week and last was certain things not working early on or not resulting in TDs and then they get away from it as if it was the defense actually stopping them. The fins have made themselves one-dimensional and inefficient the last couple of weeks.

They need to commit to whatever they set out to do or they will be beating themselves long before getting on the field to face their opponent
