Losing winnable games.

So after winning 4 out of 5 games, we once again lost a very winnable game which has been happening all season.

Once again, for the third straight season a slow start has made every week crucial, literally no room for error which never works out well, especially for us.

It looked like winning 4 out of 5 games, we had firmly planted ourselves in the number 2 spot. However, now the Buccaneers have won 2 division games which has given them the number 2 spot, we could reclaim it, but this team is not a team built to make a run.

We continue to lose winnable games, just like the last few seasons.

It is 2014 and 2015 reincarnated, we are going to suffer with inconsistency every week until major changes are made.

One change that Payton can no longer ignore - Special Teams, they are very special indeed.

As you know, I am more in the favour of blaming the loss on the turnovers, that doesn't however give the Special Teams a free pass.

The return game is non existent
We allow 40 plus yard returns
2 FG's have been blocked and returned this season.

Payton can no longer ignore this, we have been saying McMahon needs to go for years, it has finally got to the point where they are costing us vital points in close games.

I will continue to watch every week and have friday booked off work to watch thursday night, unfortunately though this seems to be another let's wait until next year.

Starting 0-3 or 0-4 for 3 seasons straight is absolutely dire, it makes absolutely zero room for error and it magnifies every mistake.

We have not won on opening day since 2013 vs falcons, that is ridiculous.

If the D can continue how they did last night I would be extremely happy, 6 sacks and 2 picks is a great peformance, I just hope it wasn't entirely due to the Broncos O line and a rookie QB.
