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.

Exactly

I sure hope ZT and Co. come up with plan B for our preseason prep for 2025 and scrap plan A which has failed miserably to start the 23/24 seasonss. We've started out 1-3 in both the last two season and it's killed our playoff chances both times.

And one play/fumble/missed tackle or whatever is not what killed our seasons. Your first sentence is the reason.
