The only good thing to come out of it is that I can now fully expect to be bounced right out of the playoffs. It makes taking the loss easier when you don’t have false hope.
It is, but the incredible wins covered up the flaws. I’ve not trusted the defense all year. If they don’t get the big turnovers they struggle. Turnovers are notoriously hard to predict and often a product of luck (right place right time).
And I don’t believe there’s enough draft capital to fill the many holes with much quickness. Concerned about kirk’s ability to stay healthy. He’s been one of the healthiest quarterbacks in the league but the man has been abused for about 3 weeks in a row now and the patriots and jets are on the horizon. Have to wonder how darrishaw was about to play this week after getting a concussion last week. Another Tua situation except no one will notice since he isn’t a QB
One of the biggest problems is depth. Darrishaw goes out and we give up like 6 more sacks? Dalvin Tomlinson goes out and we force two punts all game? Same with dantzler?
It took an overthrow by heinicke and a boneheaded hit on our long snapper to help us beat Washington. And a fumbled snap in the end zone and circus catches to beat buffalo. This loss will just make the inevitable playoff loss easier to swallow. No depth and even our front line starters especially on defense aren’t great. It just is what it is
Last two weeks were fluky wins. The defense just isn’t very good without getting timely turnovers. And now with injuries mounting, the lack of depth is getting exposed. Not good
