just needed one more first down and they played it like a bunch of pussies.

Why go get Rivers and then make those calls.

I am not gonna bitch about this game. My team played their hearts out and should be very proud. Good clock management by Seattle on our last drive.

There's that Colts defense we know. Absolutely can not get off the fucking field when you absolutely needed it. The experiment with Rivers needs to end today. He can't roll out. He can't scramble. He can't throw it more than 15 yards. No zip on the ones he does throw. I do not give a fuck about feel good stories, or atta boys we almost got it!

I think that Taylor will have an excellent game today, in spite of the proverbial deck being stacked against him.

Taylor didn't run rampant, but he still had an excellent game ...... he really did well to keep a lot of pressure off of Philip Rivers.

Yeah, I agree. That was painful to watch.

From 7-1 to 8-6. I assume if(when) they miss playoffs Ballard is gone.

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.

Alas, it turned out like the 1995 AFC Championship game ...... such a valiant effort, such a heartbreaking loss, and such an easy team to love.
