The whole debate is over whether we are being out coached.   If the team is prepared and motivated then the coaches have done their jobs.   It's not like we do not line up properly or have loads of false starts and turnovers.    

Close losses and close wins happen.   The best teams in the league usually have loads of them.    I personally don't believe the primetime curse or whatever it's called.    The fact is on primetime you play the best teams.  This year is all we can compare this team.   And yes 3 of the 4 losses are in primetime.   Do you think we would lose again to Texans, cardinals, Broncos, or steelers?  I personally don't see us losing to any of them unless we had massive injuries.   The cardinals we would need Andy back.  But the rest we could win with all but Andy.

It's very comforting that in your mind we could beat the teams we lost to if we played them again, but some of us choose to base our critique upon reality and not some sort of untestable fantasy.  Dalton isn't healthy, and we aren't going to play the Cardinals again this year unless it's in the Super Bowl.  As for the AFC teams we lost to, it's possible we see them again but Dalton won't likely be playing.
