We have an OC? lol.

Seriously I agree.

The only good thing about this loss is that it was against an NFC team.

And with this loss, the game against the Patriots in 3 weeks is now a must-win.

There’s no way in hell this team beats the Patriots !!

Not a chance. They are so much more fundamentally sound & way better coached. That game will be ugly.

Until the Colts start getting some of those benefit of a doubt calls from these God awful ref squads, it's going to be very hard to beat these league favorites!

The problem is you have Reich vs Bellicheck ...... that's a huge uphill climb for our players to overcome.

In another thread, I stated that our toughest game left on the schedule will be the one against the Patriots ...... and that that game would be even harder to win than the game that we have against the Cardinals.

I didn't say that we would beat the Patriots, just that it is now a must-win game with our overall record having dropped to 6-6 after today's loss. If we had won today and improved to 7-5, that game against the Patriots would not necessarily have been crucial (like it is now.)

Yes, but if I am Irsay, I'm coming down telling Reich, you're still the head coach but you need to hand off the play calling duties because you fucking suck at it. You can tell the players love Reich, and he is good at everything else. But if Reich balks, let him walk, he's killing this damn good team.

On another note, how atrocious was the tackling today? Highlighted by the last Fournette TD. Play that stands out much earlier was after the Paye sack, 3rd and 8 and that dumb prick Gronk converts after some awful tackle attempts.

Yep, Reich gets tunnel vision. You're asking for trouble passing 40+ times. Their edge rushers were just blasting off the LOS and that strip sack was inevitable, IMO. I was saying (out loud) to run the bloody ball right before it.

This was so damn reminiscent of so many losses under Pagano. We shot ourselves in the foot so many times. The Bucs didn't beat us, we beat us.

Wait till the pats come. So much changes yet stays the same.

Hey, look at the bright side. We can hang a fucking banner that says Best Team not in the playoffs. Fuck this, I'm going to get drunk.
