I thought we'd get smoked today, so the loss isn't surprising in the least. But to come so damn close only to lose like that turns into what I thought was going to be a "no sweat, who cares, stress free" loss into a crushing, "fuck this shit" loss.
That more-or-less ends/kills our playoff hopes so now I can really go into "fuck it" mode.
Has a team ever had this big of a collapse? We were 8-2 and legitimately looked like the best team in the NFL. Our point-differential through the first, what, 8 or 9 games was historic? All indicators pointed to us winning 12+ games and making the playoffs. Yet, at the same time, is anyone surprised this has happened? Obviously the Jones injury made this loss eminent, but this has to be up there with one of the worst collapses in NFL history, yet for some reason not surprising.
