People want to find reasons on why we lost, then do some investigation on your own and you will see the refs throwing flags on Colston, Lelito, & Bush was clear B.S.

The colston and lelito ones were wrong, but Rafael bush had hold of Reggie's hand when the ball was in the air, unfortunately that was PI and was the correct call

The sad part is, Reggie was not going to get that pass, Rafael just had to screw up anyway .

3 things:
Play calling-why is Brees throwing the ball 10 f*cking times when we're up by 6 with 2 mins to go?
Corey White- stop defending him, he's awful
Robert Meachem-WHY is this idiot still on the roster while Morgan and Toon are left to twist in the wind?

I am all about letting Meach go, seriously. Guy doesn't do ****. He adds nothing

He's not fast anymore, his hands are awful and I don't think our run blocking will suffer with out him. He has 1 catch and like 4 drops.

maybe because we couldn't run the ball?

So rather than try and at the very least force Detroit to burn TOs, we should stop the clock for them and possibly throw a pick?

we were aggressively trying to move the ball, we passed a hell of a lot better than we ran this game... running we would have went 3 and out so fast they wouldn't need to burn timeouts...

Is that a serious statement? Even if you go 3-0 and punt you're still forcing them to burn time outs, even if you drop the back in the behind the line you're taking time off the clock.

I didn't have a problem with them passing to try and pick up first downs. I did however have a problem with the score 20-10, instead of showing a killer instinct they played conservatively and kicked a field goal to go up 23-10. I had a bad feeling from then on.

Brees is throwing because we couldn't run against the best run d on the game. They're pretty good against the run
