We knew we had to score 30. Ended with just 21, that was never going to be enough. Holding them to 26 isn't bad for this defense.

That's why we need a better than a "not bad for this defense" defense.

That is what is keeping us from being a champion.

The O never showed its A game all playoffs. Was a shame because this team could contend for the SB with an aggressive Offense.

LOL! You really think they were going to stop Rogers at home with 4 minites on the clock when they hadnt stopped him all 4th quarter. Seasons over, put the blind homer glasses back in the drawer.

We'll never know the answer to that. Green Bay had a bobbled snap fumble that we recovered and a kickoff fumble that we could've recovered. Stuff happens. With the right call on Dez you never know what would've happened with us up 28-6 or 29-6 with a 2 point conversion. That's the crime of it - not knowing. But the refs help determine the outcomes of games. It's a part of the game I don't particularly like, especially when it goes against us.

I don't know about anyone else, but I was already worried about it coming down to a Bailey FG attempt. As much as he was a no-brainer most of the year, even his extra points and kick offs were all over the place down the stretch. That missed FG meant we weren't attempting the game tying FG instead of that pass to Dez.

Because they stayed on the field because offense couldnt score.

Not true. We didn't have a single 3 and out in the second half.

We can't win a super bowl with a defense we need to protect by scoring every single time we have the ball and masking all their deficiencies. They overchieved this year but they must improve.

I know you're a great fan and just mad and disappointed now but we had a great un and everyone did their best. It came down to a play or two.

Really? Can it dude. 13-4 was awesome. We lacked nothing. We played and fought to the end. The refs made their decision.

Don't take the bait man... this is the same guy that predicted 5 wins and scorned anyone that thought better

Wonder how this game would have turned out if we had signed Julius Peppers.

Defense outplayed expectations all year. Is a key reason we were even in the playoffs. Now we can try to upgrade the talent for next year.

Im proud of the year they had. Crushed to go out like we did tho. Many things hurt, and that bs call was a big one, imo.

Give us some pieces on D and we can become very formidable.
