Its not THAT bad

Audiotom · 09-08-2014, 09:07 AM

terrible clock management

colston then ingram don't go out of bounds with 3 time outs
inside the 15 with 1:30 remaining

should have ran it out in regulation

similar issue at the end of the first half which gave Atlanta the opportunity for a field goal

no chicken little here
but where was Cam crickets, Hakeem crickets, Junior crickets
why more cushion than a Serta Sleeper wherehouse?

Seahawks 36
Packers 16

Panthers 20
Bucs 14

49ers 28
Cowboys 17

Broncos 31
Colts 24

Eagles 34
Jaguars 17

Saints 34 (blowing a 20-7 lead)
Falcons 37

The Saints defense allowed 568 total yards, worse than any single game from the 2012 season where they were statistically the worst defense in history.

Clearly one of these teams is currently Not Ready For Prime Time....

I wish we had a chance to answer. If we couldn't score after than then game over. NFL overtime rules blow.

no

these rules are better than the old get down to the 30 kick a field goal and win

we were driving, had our chance with the ball
turnover and clutch kick cost us the game

Well if we had better clock management that turnover and FG kick would be moot.

I think we'd learn from it and move on but its going to hurt and cost all season.

Splitting with Atlanta is a wash for the division. They won't play at that level for every game, and we will just play better. They played their ass off against us and just barely won on an unfortunate late mistake.

You have to be talking about the Cowboys.

This is going to come back to bite us when we have to go to Seattle and lose in the NFC championship game. We have to have home field in the playoffs.

Euphoria · 09-08-2014, 10:52 AM

If we allow a game to go into OT then we deserve to lose.

Better clock management run the clock out have give them little time to go down the field on us we win.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that no NFL team will go 6-0 in their respective division this year, and that no NFL team will go undefeated this year.
