That’s probably the worst call I’ve seen all year.
That said, we put ourselves in the position of letting a bad call dictate the outcome of the game. Defensively, we have to play a lot better. Even after the call, all we had to do is not let them rush for a 1st down on 3 rushes. We failed. We deserved to lose.
A few of our weaknesses were exposed: oline play, run game, burrow’s untimely turnovers this year (also had one against the pack), and defense getting walked over at times. Gotta play better and learn from the mistakes.
We’re a young team, so I think we will only get better as the year goes on. If we would have won, we could afford to lose to the browns next week—now this makes it a must win. Dropping to 5-4 will put us on the bubble and we’ll have a lot more pressure every game. Not sure how good we’ll be at the end of the year, but I think we’ll be a serious contender in the years to come. This year I think we’re a contender, it remains to be seen how serious of one though. But hey, the Browns are in the same boat. I saw them as a contender last year, but not a serious one. I think next week will be a good measuring stick for both teams.
