Being woefully unprepared to start the season (again) cost us our season. Turns out continuing to start almost every season 0-2 (0-3 this year, and 1-4) makes things much harder on you and that's not just a Hudson problem.
Being shit on defense (again) cost us our season. Turns out having a scoring defense in the 20s isn't exactly beneficial to being a playoff team. We played 9 games against playoff teams and they averaged 32.9 points per game against us and we were 2-7 (it took us 384 days to get a win over a winning team's starters from our last one).
Trying to distill Hudson's fumble in week 1 as "costing us" our season is just a gross simplification that ignores everything else to hyper-focus in on a single play, which is something that no actually good team would ever do. If your season ends because a fumble in the 2nd quarter of Week 1, you never stood a chance and it would have just been something else.
