Lol, man you are so negative. I'll bet my life we win 2 more games.

No. But it would have been nice to run more time off the clock.

No. You have to score there and have some confidence that your defense won't allow a 75 yard drive in a minute.

What Gruden should have done was have Hopkins kick it to around the goaline or just short of it and forced a return. That way you might blow a few more seconds off the clock and maybe get a tackle before the 20. He also should have gotten in Barry's ear and told him to send pressure.

Said the same thing. Kick it short,....

Yes. Stafford with a minute is too long but would have been risky for kc. I am curious how people would have reacted. We still had timeouts. I'm not faulting Kirk just curious what people think.

You take the 7. Thats what I think. Especially after we coughed it up at the 3. It is never a sure thing until you cross that line...
That's my opinion.

Kirk didn't lose this game. It was the defense.

These games happen, besides week 1 we were in all of our other games and have won 4 of them. That's a great sign

I think everyone knew going into this year that we are still missing a few pieces. I think next year is when this team will really start taking off.

I dont think the season is over but this is one of those losses that hurts in the WC race

We need to win next week and get to the bye. Refresh and start the run after

I think the reason this stings is that we really could and should have won even with the mistakes. But let's be honest - we could easily have lost some games we have won in the last few weeks too. We are a decent team - but it means that some weeks, the breaks won't go our way and we lose, whereas other weeks they do and we win. But the good teams are sufficiently better than their opponents to not have to rely on breaks here and there. We just aren't consistently there yet, although we certainly show flashes.

Let's see how they respond next week. No flat start will be excusable. They need to come out angry and just keep at it for 60 minutes. They're talented enough to beat the Bengals. But nothing short of their best effort is likely to achieve that result.

The injuries today were really concerning - Trent, Scherff, Norman, Breeland for a while - that's a lot of talent with a real drop off afterwards (with the possible exception of breeland) for a team with little margin for error.

On Jones v Kelly, I get the impression that Jones has taken his starting role for granted - once we got rid of Alfmo, he seems less hungry. Kelly on the other hand looks like he is dying to see the field and runs like he is running for freedom. Love to see that effort.

Kelly reminds me of former cowboys rb Marion Barber,a very bruising and punishing runner.He probably wouldnt have a long career but would be damn good for a short period of time{3-4 yrs}
