Sloppy, they should be up by 10 at least. Sloppy in all 3 phases. Special teams loses containment leads to an easy 3. Why that ball was not kicked through the endzone is beyond me.

Allowing a player to slip in fsr enough to tip a field goal, bad as well.

Penalties, lazy blocking stopped a scoring drive.

Defense losing containment, not finishing sacks, ouch.

[deeshopper]

Pitiful.

[tsylvester]

This game is lost, must be looking ahead to Rio

[deeshopper]

Sad.

[deeshopper]

Absolutely pathetic.

[tsylvester]

Nice pass Lamar, he has missed now 3 wide open receivers deep this game, 2 to Moore, one of those caused Moore to slow up and allow the defender to break it up.

But this game was not his fault, play calling was bad as well. They stopped running the ball. The line was very inconsistent in both run & pass blocking. 

Defense had numerous sacks get away from them that kept drives alive. Coverage had breaks.

Special teams, missed field goal that was blocked, big return that lead to a field goal to end the half for them. Punts were terrible.

Not sure why Minter challenged the pass play, it was clear there was not enough to over turn the call, at the very least.

This entire team lost this game. I guess we should expect it, every team has a game they should win and lose it. 

 

Now, how will they respond next week? In Rio, which really won't tell us much, those games always go wonky because of rhe travel 

 

[papasmurfbell]

I think they might be right.  Play a shell and wait for us to make a mistake. The d is not amazing.  It’s good.  That gamble on Stanley rolled snake eyes.
