So glad we’re doing better, but I can’t be the only one concerned that we have not had one CONVINCING win all season… We’ve pulled out some squeakers but if it weren’t for the other team’s mistakes we could easily be 1 - 9 or worse.
Sorry to be Debbie Downer but it had to be said. This is a fragile streak unless we start playing better.
I just want Russ and the offense to begin to play like they did at the start of the season and then combined with this emergent defense I’ll be convinced.
First of all, the Chiefs win was a convincing win. Period.
Second, the only convincing loss was Miami. Without a missed kick we don’t lose to the Raiders. Hell, the refs plain screwed us against Washington. 2 or 3 bone headed mistakes in every other loss cost us the game. So could we be 1-9? Yeah, just about as easily as we could be 9-1. But it’s a useless thing to dwell on. Games are won and lost like this every week.
We’re a better team than last year and that’s all I really care about, simple as.
I dunno, I think you can look at it from the opposite point of view. What if they called pass interference on the guy who held Jeudy’s arm down in the end zone? What if those near-sacks against Dobbs actually took him to the ground? I honestly think we were closer to stomping the Vikings than we were to losing against them. But then again, I am super high on hopium right now.
