The narrative going into game was both of our opponents starting OT's were out, our Dline is gonna have a field day ! We had nothing even close to a field day and I'm thinking we lost.

You see examples of this all around the league. Yet we lose one guy and it's kaput, it's over. I think a lot of this can be attributed to mindset, culture, heart. It's ingrained deep in the heart and soul of this team. Look at how we lay down vs. the Steelers and have for years.

Somebody, somehow, someway has to step up and end it.

Chad Johnson put a good dent in it  :andy:

It is a culture thing. When a GM that hasn't won a playoff game for 28+ years hires an inexperienced HC and inexperienced staff...players know.

I think our players want to win...but they've grown comfortable losing. They're probably not pushed that hard.

For Dalton to be shocked by being benched says a lot. This is a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 4 years and is 0-8. That tells me that they're all comfortable.
