Reporting aside, and clock management fails aside, the biggest overriding issue for me is that the offensive line continues to be a mess. No push in the run game, and Steele is an absolute turnstile at RT. Biadasz has also been quite poor over the second half of the season, and Martin has taken a step back this year. The offensive line, unless they rediscover something soon, will be the reason why this team doesn't advance to a title game this year.

Let’s face it, we got a huge break. I know refs missed tripping call but refs knew about this 2 point play before the game. That crew is awful.
Our defense not what it was due to injuries .

I’m watching Patriots-Bills and Patriots D with all the injuries is playing well against Buff in Buff as Pats have had 3 turnovers in 1st quarter

Don't like our Playoff chances. Coaches are dumb as is the team...Not much to really be excited about minus Dak to CeeDee....

I don’t understand this comment. The Cowboys dominated most of the game despite errors that kept our scoring down. The defense limited a running team with two backs around 900 yards on the season. They won the game against an 11 win team. Are we go8ng to play the first playoff game against a better team? We played 5 straight games against good playoff teams, 3 division champs. We ran through that stretch at 3-2. Why so pessimistic? Certainly, I don’t see us in the SB with our issues on both lines and lack of LBs, but we are still the 2nd or 3rd best team in the NFC. The playoffs are going to be fun.

No offense, but I’m sick of hearing we caught a huge break. If that was the Lions #1 play to win the game, it’s clear they intentionally tried to create confusion with two guys over at the ref checking in and then Goff sending the third guy who was the intended receiver to go check in last. If the refs get it the way the Lions want it, then they also announce 68 as an eligible receiver over the loud system and to the defense. That guy would then have eyes on him for that play. Whole different situation.

All the attention on a play that either cheated us or if announced probably never happens simply takes away from where the heat should be, not on the refs, but on Quinn having to answer questions about hamstringing our defense with a strategy that allowed the Lions to go 75 yards with no timeouts in 1:43 for an uncontested TD. Quinn is getting a break by all the attention on the refs. It’s Quinn who owes us some answers!

Because the only game that was close on the road was @ Miami, and we gave that away on the first drive and our D couldn't do it in the end. 3 wins were at home. highly unlikely that we have a home playoff game and if we play @ Tampa it wont be a cakewalk. But if you are satisfied with one and done that's fine, I 'm not, especially when the team makes the same mistakes over and over, they are one of the dumbest teams in the league. You have an owner that likes to spend and you cant get back to the NFC champ game for almost 30 years!! youre ok with that. Its poor drafting, horrible coaching, poor ownership ( although Carolina is getting close).

Who said I’m okay with that? But I refuse to look at a decent team that’s 11-5 and cry that we can’t win a playoff game. That’s just weak loser mentality. Maybe we go 1 and out, but for anyone to say we have no chance is just gibberish and completely untrue.

No chance @ NFC title game , 50/50 we win @ TB and no chance the following week if we do @ SF. Those are good percentages , have to be realistic, I have been following them way too long.
If I am wrong will gladly accept the hammering I will get. But this is it, Quinn is gone most likely after this year.
Loser mentality? Yes, because they have been losers for almost 30 years,
Just facts

Great strategy by the Cardinals to go onsides. They want the ball last, they will have it. And this is no chip shot FG.

I don't consider this a huge break and I can't believe you guys are still talking about it look dudes that hinder shot ghost tripping call stopped us from milking the clock and running the football they would have never got the opportunity so this **** just evens itself out as usual....

Not just missed, it was 15 yards the other way. Had it been a no-call, the game would still be finished with our offense on the field, or very little time left on the clock.
