Heartbreaking loss. Yet another one we absolutely had but lost it. JJ Taylor and the decision on 4th and 3 at the end were killers in this one. Hated that call to kick the FG. Even if you make it somehow, Brady has a minute and timeouts. That's an eternity for him.
The defense did about all you can ask, of course it's tough to see them giving up the drives at the end but bottom line they gave us a chance in this one despite being sent out there repeatedly. They were obviously hanging by a thread and gave it all they had.
OL is still an issue. We can't keep hanging our defense out to dry or you pay the price. Ball security also still an issue, we're likely a 4-1 team if not for 2 big fumbles. 2 areas that were supposed to be strengths, OL and RB, have been major weaknesses thus far.
Mac is the real deal, at least we got our QB. So many great throws under pressure. Just wish he'd get more help. This team is FAILING him thus far.
That al said, This season is NOT done. We've dug ourselves a nice hole and it's not LIKELY, but if can pull out the game vs. Dallas we have a great shot at being 4-3 in a few weeks. From there if we can sort out our OL issues and improve as a team a run is not out of the question. AFC seems to be struggling across the board, and 2 of our losses are NFC opponents. If not, this season has a real 2000 feel to it, a team that just finds ways to lose games. They will probably be in a great majority of the games that's for sure.
