No questions asked, the loss to SF in 2011 in the playoffs. Gregg Williams effectively blitzed us out of the playoffs. We win that game and the Giants have to play us in the dome and the rest is history. IMO that year was another ring. Still burns.

She asked about regular season losses, not playoff. But thats a pretty bad one.

I can because we had that game won even with the 5 TO's. That last drive by SF was won because Williams blitzed the whole drive. A little prevent would have worked wonders.

No sir it didnt. Allow me to refresh your memory, we were up 32-29 and SF got the ball with a little over a min left and 80 yards to score. What happened on that drive was unacceptable. Blitz after blitz and we get burned.

36-32 we lose. A turnover didn't cost us the game. The D coordinator did.

I must disagree. One series or even a couple of plays don't win/lose a game.
Our offense had 5 turnovers. That is unacceptable. In the history of the NFL I'd imagine 5 turnovers loses about 99% of the time. Our defense was the only thing that kept us from getting blown out by 4 scores.

Blaming that loss on the defense is absurd.

It wasn't the defenses fault it was greg williams going full boar blitz for the big play for the whole drive when a prevent would have easily shown up Smith's qb
Deficiences. The players did their part, were stuffing GOre and we still were ahead.

Only time I felt Jimmy Graham scored too early

Worse part is we had crushed the NY Giants a few weeks earlier and we would have rolled

Thomas knocked out having a concussion that wasn't flagged really hurt us

I hope we get the whiners in the playoffs ncc in the dome

Re: New Orleans Saints fans dish on the losses that lingers

Seattle playoffs 2010

No running backs

Reggie can't get a half yard

That 12 miss tackled run that put us out of it


This beating by Seatle two weeks ago could linger but I actually feel it will make us stronger and the future victories oh so sweet
