A little perspective ...

[Rack]

I know we played like crap yesterday. No doubt about it.


But one thing to remember is yesterday's game will be the toughest road game of the season, by far. Not just cuz of the talent level we faced, but because of the atmosphere surrounding the game itself.

I don't care where we play the rest of the season, it won't be as tough as yesterday's game. And that may include the playoffs as well (yes, we'll be in the playoffs).


And we still had a chance to tie the game yesterday, despite playing our worst game of the year (and I expect that to remain our worst game even at season's end).

this happened last year man. We already know whats going to happen. We will be better next game but later on when we face another mediocre team this vicious rain cloud will come back out again.

I agree Rack, the sky has not fallen

We didn't play a road game last year like the one we had yesterday. PERIOD.


And what happened to us last year was nothing like what happened yesterday.

Are you saying the Eagles at home are a mediocre team?

 

[dricas24]

I dont buy into home and away stuff, football is football! We beat the Eagles if it wasn't for mental mistakes on both sides of the ball.

yeah, it had to be the toughest.

I just hope we don't have to play 'it' every year...the 'atmosphere'.

Philly is tough enough as it is.

Couldn't agree more. This is why you are one of my favorite posters here, Rack.

Well then you're clueless.

 

[dricas24]

If the team was full of rookies then yes maybe a different stadium has a huge impact.

We've played sloppy and unprepared football the whole season. Sure its tough to play in Philly especially in that circus atmosphere but this game was almost a mirror image of the Jacksonville game.

Same performances, same mental lapses, same results.

Somewhere along the line we have to quit making excuses. Superbowl contenders play their best football when they face the most adversity. We crumble.

Im worried.

I agree there were some positives signs in a tough road game on the road against a pretty good team. My main concern is Bledsoe. Not saying it's all his fault. But when we go on the road and face solid-strong defenses(Car-NY-Atl-Was) that will inevitably get pressure on him, Bledsoe will surely crumble. It's proven and I hate it.

Something has to change drastically in our favor in other areas for us to offset Bledsoe's struggles on the road vs. good defense. Whether it's our defense forcing more TOs or the running game becoming near dominant, something has to happen.

You consider Philly mediocre?

yeah a bit....

Oh brother

 

[SuspectCorner]

no rain of injurious D-cell batteries? no career-ending neck injuries?

hell, it's was a minor victory.

 

[Clove]

This is what you get when you face a 1st class Coaching staff, and a great QB. Any mistake you make, you will pay dearly.

It was a heavy weight bout, and they played nearly flawless. We made so many mistakes, it wasn't funny. Somehow someway, we were 1 pass or draw play from tying the game, and when you tie it up, anything goes.

Our issues are fixable, except maybe the QB.

 

[Maikeru-sama]

I disagree totally.

I think the game against the Falcons and Panthers will be extremely tough.

And when I say tough, I mean, there is a good a chance of us losing as well as winning, which was the same situation we had with Philly.

And we faced the Commanders without Portis and their #1 corner, I wouldnt be surprised if they were playing good the next time around.

I prefer to take it one game at a time.

Sure, but the atmosphere won't resemble a Fellini film on crank.
