Because that's exactly what people said would happen this week after we beat the Dolphins. Face it man. This team is in trouble. Lost AT HOME 2 weeks in a row. CHOKED AWAY a 17 point lead. Lost AT HOME coming off of a BYE WEEK I'm the one who predicted an easy win. I'm sure I'll hear about it for the rest of the year. That said, I remain confident. The skill and talent is there. As long as you have those things a R-E-L-A-X moment isn't that tough to come by. 4-2 after 6 games could have easily been 6-0 or 2-4. I do have some actual observations on what went wrong...but I'll wait a day or two. Don't want to interrupt the vomit fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamee101 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Tough to disagree. I would say this is easily Quinn's worst loss since he got here and the fact that you put up that kind of performance off of the bye and a loss in which your team looked "out of it" leads me to think that the SB hangover we all thought wasn't coming is indeed here. Bears (with Glennon) were bad. Lions look like pretenders. Saints and Panthers look the be a lot better than we were anticipating. This is not gonna be a fun season guys. I feel it.

How can you remain confident in a team that losses at home coming off of a bye week to the Dolphins? And if that wasn't bad enough, how can you remain confident in a team that has a CULTURE of choking? You've got a lot of patience my man.

sdogg Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I thought this team would not allow the SB loss to effect them, but it clearly is. They are not focused and are showing no passion or fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I think the Chargers were actually a decent team that had trouble winning and we looked REALLY good at points in that one. Outside of a homerun play to Hall and the TD drive made possible by Free's huge run...we looked AWFUL in almost every facet today. Defense (Dolphins offense is bad), Offense, and Special Teams (Bosher and Roberts). I just don't know how you look that bad against a struggling Miami team off the bye week. I have very little hope we turn this thing around this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I KNOW we gave up the biggest lead ever in a Super Bowl, in fact by 2 more touchdowns than the previous worst. You can't ever trust us to hold a lead. I need to cool down first, but I am VERY seriously considering selling my ticket to the Pats game next week. I spent a ton of money on it and I'm just not sure it's worth it. I'll still watch, I never just give up on my team. But I don't know if I can justify such an expensive ticket after the last two games I've watched. dont blame you at all I was let down by the overhyped and priced stadium and now with the team, we have serious issues everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing non-conference games, even ugly ones, doesn't bother me as much as losing a well played game in the conference. That said, total record is important and this team is getting close to a point where they will need to win 4 or 5 in a row to stay in #1 seed consideration. My answer to both questions is talent. I can see the talent. I'm watching the coaching staff. Will they flip the switch and get that power to the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Even Bleed Red Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 You blow ANOTHER lead in the 2nd half of the game AT HOME, AFTER a BYE, to the DOLPHINS? We can debate all we want to as to WHO it's on, but this TEAM is in serious trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCFalconfan Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 This one ranks up there as one of the most embarrassing losses in franchise history. Zero business losing this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team can dominate like the first half all the time. That game is in them. Quinn just needs to tap the breaks just a touch on: "All gas, no brakes." Right now it is leading to undisciplined play. That is what happens when you are all about speed and aggression. You are going to have some "wow" moments. He doesn't want them thinking...he wants them playing fast. Mission accomplished. What is funny is the mood will be just as optimistic 15 minutes after next week's game as it is pessimistic now. I love your enthusiasm Dave, always have and thats me too, I've caught **** in game threads rooting people on , but that last paragraph is kind of the problem with this team , we take to much for granted. sure we are very talented , but we have to remember that right across the line from us are grown, proud men, who are usually underdogs to our talented team, they want more than anything to beat us, they play hard and hungry while we seem to take our talent for granted, just because we show up doesn't mean they will bow down to us . I want to see some fire, I want to see guys getting mad on the sideline , I want to see our proud team humbled , maybe a beatdown next week in Foxboro would be good medicine for us , I won't root for that , I never would . But if this team wants to be that Superbowl bound ***-kicking machine that we all want so much to see, we need to realize that we have to smack them in the face , fight them for every yard , treat every week like its do or die , you can't beat up on Green Bay and then allow Buffalo and Miami come to our house and beat us , sure they have good defenses and its a big game for them , but its a big game for us too and needs to be treated as such. In the regular season a win is a win and a loss is a loss,doesn't matter who its against. Sorry I didn't mean to go on a rant but, I want to see us saying "good game " to them , while our foots on their throats . I want to see my Birds playing up to their ability., taking nothing for granted . Edited October 15, 2017 by Slappywhite spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone against us at home is a lot better than we anticipated. On a positive note, we play better on the road. But not being able to dominate inferior teams at home = no NFC Champs in 17. So when is the draft? I'm on the verge of counting the days until it's here. We were definitely looking ahead this week. And the worst part is this team wasn't even exciting to watch today.

HEIST Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Outside of the choking there is one consistent theme with this team. They can't stop power running teams. I love Debo and Campbell, but it's worth considering getting a thumper LB in there too. Probably a better nose tackle as well. Jay Ajayi was dragging guys, Bills OLine overwhelmed us, Eagles last year. Bears gave us trouble too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HouseofEuphoria Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Unfortunately, i think it's time to temper expectations. I still hope we can improve as the season goes on, as we did last year. A winning season and a trip to the playoffs is still a reality. But this team is NOT as good as the team we had last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
