Sigh...squared

Heh.

Yeah I am encouraged that things are changing here. We played hard, we battled back twice. Tough break at the end but we got a couple of breaks with missed FGs earlier in the game.

We all know or should know that we are rebuilding and trying to change the culture. I think those things are happening and just have to keep happening. I like the direction.

Most people will look at that pick 6 and say.....that's where the game was lost. I disagree, the game was lost when our offense did not capitalize on opportunities in the red zone. Our defense played their hearts out and gave our offense chances to score TDs. Had they done so, the pick six doesn't happen.

I agree the offense was very bad today. No running game. Ultra conservative play calling. When you are playing a good QB you have to score TD's no FG's.

the good thing here is this team isnt the train wreck it was before . in a year or 2 we should get the win

sure, because if they had scored TD they would have been lined up in a V formation rather then throwing the ball

When you are playing a good QB you have to score TD's no FG's.

did you watch the game ?

Ryan did not beat us ... Freeman did

totally missed the point krush. played way too conservative on the breeland pick drive.

I'd agree with this ^^^^^^^ There was an opportunity after BB's pick to put some nails in the coffin.

we had the #1 running offense in the league

no reason not to put the load on their shoulders in that situation & expect good things.

and, if they had told Cousins to throw it in that situation, who is to say Grant doesnt slip in the endzone, or Garcon has one bounce off his hands allowing a turnover in that situation ?

hindsight is 20/20

look perhaps we could have done what you guys are saying but again i will go back to this . we have young team with a TO prone qb . we went conservative but perhaps we leave with KC's confidence in tact .

baby steps people baby steps
