I'm not going to hit the panic button after this loss, but I clearly don't grasp the feel-good take like many of the people here. We put ourselves 24 points in the hole right off the bat, then we mounted a comeback that didn't put us in the lead (that's not enough of a comeback, is it?) and then we turned into the Browns and decided to turn the ball over when we were supposed to be making game-winning 4th quarter drives.
It's the tortoise and the hare, isn't it? We let them get a big lead and then we narrowed the gap before losing. I don't recall people reading that story and saying "Well, the Hare didn't show any quit...I'll give him that!"
