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.

    Just frustrating that we’re not at least acknowledging the offense was sub par yesterday. Not picking up a 1st down before the half, that is choking big time. As you said elsewhere, back-to-back-to-back 3 and outs totally killed our momentum and allowed Seattle to take the lead. When are we actually going to bury an opponent?
