Good post to open the thread, I almost tuned out too but hung in there though I admit feeling disgusted.
Hey, we've played 3 of the top 4 teams in the league: Denver, Houston, and San Fran. Considering we walloped Houston and Denver, and turned over the ball 4X against SF and still almost beat them...well, I'd say we're looking pretty good. The NFL is tough, and it's difficult to bring perfection every game - just ask the teams we've whipped. Ask Baltimore, Pitt, Green Bay, even Atlanta and SF how hard it is.
Only one team has gone 16-0 in the regular season (ah, that's your NE Pats btw). All teams lose, and all good teams lose a big game or two, that's just the way it goes.
The bye would have been big, I agree. And those minutes of indifferent play in the AZ loom ever bigger now. BB not having Brady push the ball closer despite having 42 seconds and a TO. Our extremely dependable kicker shanking an 'easy' kick. Those minutes failing to execute are the ones that may doom our season. Not the SF game. You can't beat every good team you play. The Pats beat most of the best, more than nearly anyone else does (Divison leaders Hou, NE, Balt, Denver have all played each other and The Pats are 2-1 in their 3 games, Den 1-2, Balt 1-2, Hou 2-1). I'm focusing on that.
