We are 2-3 in games when leading with FOUR minutes remainig
 
ATL, CLE, DET - we literally folded at the end.

DAL - never got off the bus.

MIN and TB, both at home - did enough to win, TB; hard fought, full of mistakes.

Nearing the midpoint of our season, it's becoming clear that something is missing this year. Is it heart, is is killer instinct? Regardless, this disappointing season has been a TOTAL TEAM EFFORT.

BUT - all is not lost. Yet....

1-1 in the division. 6 of our next 10 at home.

Oh...good, I don't have to start a thread, it was already started. I came to this board to start a thread kinda like this one.

This is about the 3rd or 4th time that we have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, and I can't help but thinking that with perhaps a bit more luck, coaching, creativity, not throwing picks in your own territory with only a few minutes left while leading...I don't know what it is, but I agree with the OP. Something is missing.

I think Hagan said it best - We'll keep shooting ourselves in the foot until there's nothing left to shoot. Even then, we can limp, roll or drag our butts into a playoff game!

We have totally lost any and all killer instinct.

Look at last year, look at the big picture... New England, we collapsed and lost it. Carolina in Carolina, we collapsed at the very end, and lost it. Atlanta, Tampa Bay, and the Eagles in the playoffs, all three times we very nearly collapsed and lost it, but squeaked out a win.

Heck, go all the way back to San Francisco in the playoffs in 2011, what happened there....were in the lead with nine seconds left

This has become a regular pattern with this team, and it's not a temporary slump.

danno thinks they're like him, which is not correct.

any team can win on any given sunday.

the worst team could beat the best team.

this is not a new phenomenon.

all these statistics and anomalies don't amount to diddley squat.

it is a tough league, with a lot of talent. it is very hard to win ANY game.

No, you said the offense was just as bad as the defense in the 1st two games.
You were wrong then and now you're trying to change your story.

That may have been me, yes? I've put a lot of blame on the offense. May have been a bit much to call it equal.

But I stand by the fact that offensive mistakes in every game except for Minnesota contributed to each of the losses.
