They gave up 230 yards rushing as McCaffrey ran it 28 times for 184 yards. They just got steamrolled, and then Cam made throws when it mattered with hardly any pressure except 1 time in the 4th I think.

Overall that front 7 gets a Ross grade, err I mean an F grade.

That's what sucks the most about this game. With all the injuries it was our "Strenth" of the team that played the worst. We missed a couple chances on D to swing this game with a fumble recovery or a int or 2 and didn't come away with them. There were a couple bad calls but every game has those, just no excuse for the D line to play that poor against a line starting 3 backups. Any other team would have had their way with them.

What the hell is wrong with some of you people?

No Mixon
No Price
Ross is a total **** up
Green out the 2nd half
No Preston Brown
No Vontaze Burfict
No creative blitzes to try and confuse this Oline, just straight up 4 man rush.

The odds were against a win from the get go and they were within one score when they got the ball at the end of the game. 

bu..bu..but it worked!

Going to go out on a limb here and say if we could have had a loss, it came at a good time. Although Baltimore won their game, we are ahead of them if there's a tie. Plus, our defense gets to see a lot of stuff they need to work on. Our offense was trying hard to stay in it, but they fell short and will examine why. Yes, we were minus some players, but they came close to getting it back. They will fix the mistakes. I don't think anyone thought we would go 16-0.

Only rushed four but couldn’t cover a bunch of mediocre WR’s and let them run on us at will. Definitely some work to be done there, but two stud LB’s will help when they get back. If we can get to 3-1 I’ll be thrilled. 2-2 still is a fine start. This team will get better over time as long as they can get healthy

Yep.

No need to throw the baby out with the bath water right now.

Iv seen this Andy too many times. He’s a poor decision maker

He had just taken a damn sack! That's 100% john ross.

Lap absolutely roasted him on the radio. Worse than i did in my house.

I would argue Price or even AJ being out cost us more than Mixon. We could have ran the ball more but it's not like they stopped cause Hio was shit down.

Gio is not better than Mixon. How many teams would Gio be the #1 RB on?

So a blowout loss with all our players healthy is the same as a close loss missing a ton of impact players?

Did you hear Philly making excuses they lost the Super Bowl with a backup QB?  Oh wait..  they won

If they were missing almost half a dozen of their best players (AJ, Price, Burfict, Brown, Mixon) they probably would have lost.

Not a great comparison though, as we were on the road in a hostile environment playing a good team who was trying their hardest to get a win for their state. Not playing in a neutral location at the SB.

The point isa there is always an excuse. Teams that are top tier find ways to win, not make excuses why they didn't. We won without Burfict and Brown the first two games. 

When everyone is back it will be the refs...


my point is its always something and no excuse...win...
