Then, we beat the Ravens (10 wins) who were a playoff team: 34-23.
Lost to the Panthers.
Beat the Falcons 37-36.
Beat the Dolphins 27-17.
4-1 start which was pretty good.
Then, we lose to the Seahawks by 1 scoring 20 points and it's raining positivity. And I agree, I'm semi-excited. It's just interesting what excites us.
I think context is important. We dominated the game, but did not finish drives and gave up some big plays. I believe that is very fixable, hopefully. If this is the same theme a few weeks from now, playing competent but losing, the shine will wear off. We have to be able to finish those long drives. I think people were pretty excited at that time aside from the porous defense. Then Pittsburgh, KC, and NO took it all out of us.
