And go with two RBs?

It is a shame Larison was injured.
Some dude on his couch who will get 3 yards a carry and keep two arms on the ball would be just fine with me.
 
Stevenson alone is 80% responsible for this loss.

That said, turning the ball over FIVE TIMES as a team is just pathetic. And you might as well count Douglas’ terrible effort on the final play as a turnover too.

Not what I expected from a Vrabel coached team.


I think we've been spoiled for a long time with a situationally smart football team.
 
I was going to call this game "the brilliance of McDaniels" if they'd won, but instead we have to shake our heads at the many failures:

1. Stevenson
2. Vrabel for releasing Peppers
3. Maye's boneheaded decision
4. Demario Douglas
One and Four can be fixed by Benching them both...I'm Done with Rham and Poop.

Turnover on downs is literally a turnover. It counts.
 
That last fumble by Maye…was one of the dumbest plays I’ve ever seen.

I missed it live but he’s trying to shovel it.

Just take the goddamned sack kid.
 
The thing is, the offense AND defense both looked leagues better today than last year. But committing five turnovers erases that.

It’s a credit to how good they are that they were in a position to tie it at the end despite the turnover differential and the awful penalties early.
Maybe tomorrow, after a night's sleep, I'll think like this. Right now I'm chewing railroad spikes.
 
The fumble was really the only heroball moment I saw.
You don’t need to play hero ball in a tie game in the opposition territory on 1st down.

He still hasn’t learn, will he ever?
 
So what’s the home record since the start of 2023 now?
 
There’s got to be somebody out there third string for another team that we can send off with a seventh for a sixth.

If Stevenson is lead back the rest of the year he’ll cost you another 1-2 games
 
Remember when this team gave Stevenson that extension? Good times.
 
Turnovers obviously killed us, but the refs were calling some horrible penalties on NE. They had every reason to lay down, but they fought it out. I’m excited about this team going forward despite the loss.
