The reason we lost this game is we punted 5 times and fumbled once. The defense forced 4 punts and 5 FGs. Rivera’s terrible clock management before the half, leaving enough time for an easy Seattle FG was also pretty stupid. Of course, the offense came up short for a 3 and out when it counted most to hand the ball back to Seattle.

It’s the modern NFL. Competent teams are going to score. Seattle was 4/14 on 3rd down. That’s a pretty respectable bend-don’t-break performance by the defense.

We have the receiving an RB talent. There’s no reason we didn’t put up 35 points yesterday.

    Indeed. The offense never bails out the defense. Even when we held Buffalo to like 12 points in 3 quarters, it was the defense’s fault we lost that game too.
