We just lost, we lost badly because we couldn't accomplish one of the most important parts of the game, we couldn't score. The sky isn't falling, but best believe I concur on the worry department. If you can't score you can't win in the playoffs, this is turning into Stanton's playoff training camp.

Feel free to bitch here, I will not attack the poster or the post. I promise. :D

The sky may not be falling but 3 points over the last 7 quarters(17 over the last 8) means it's cracking.

Our defense is so good. That Mauro kid seems to be a hell of a pick up and Okafor is getting better and better... BUT, that Butler clown is killing the defense and we do not have a running game because Arians seems intent to run Ellington in the ground and will not use a back like Taylor properly who needs carries to warm up

Yep. We are so stale on offense. Tough environment, but no excuses. Defense pretty much shut down beast mode, but can't win game only scoring 3 points. Dropped passes, non stop pressure on Stanton, no run game, etc.. Don't feel like we are on a downturn, but need to put up a ton of points next week against a bad Falcons defense. If we don't, then we will be in some serious trouble

Need a run game to support Stanton. Have they given up on Grice already? Still would like to have picked up Blount.

Hopefully a learning experience today for offense.

Stanton not sharp at all, no Fitz, Butler stinks out loud, on the road, dropped TD pass, missed field goal. It's a team loss. On to next week.

There is a bright spot here. LIAC may ease off on from the 'We don't get no respect' threads this week.

All things considered - particularly playing Seattle at home - I am encouraged. The defense was absolutely outstanding. As much as the biased announcer raved about Seattle, the fact is that they only scored one touchdown and given the field position they had, that is huge.

Defense was solid! Stanton was just off hopefully was the environment, guess we shall see. Only giving up one TD was huge considering the ridiculous field position we kept giving them. Our punter is a serious problem that will end up costing us, we'll it did today actually a blocked punt and seriously bad ones all freaking day! No fitz, them playing for their lives honestly we were not winning this game no matter what, the refs helped a little also with some bad calls and some no calls. Shake it off and get right next week! Go cards!

Exactly! We lost by 16, but the defense kept us in the game. That game could have been WAY worse. Actually should have

Yeah, this was going to be a tough one to win, especially playing from behind. Once Seattle got up by two scores they could play offense that didn't have to take chances and work the clock safely. Not a good opportunity to get turnovers.

And how else did we suck? :D

I missed Fitz being out because he seems to be the only guy who gets pumped after making a play and inspires the offense. Yes, provided we did not have a play to really get pumped about but still a little 'crazy arm flapping shot bird medicated with peyote' dance by Brown would have been welcomed... we did not even have style points lol

Ellington is worrisome... Really hoping Massie had his one bad game... But Stanton transformed into our latest version of SCUD yesterday. Duckjake would've taken him to task for becoming, as Duck would call him, D-Wreck Anderson.... Man he was UGLY yesterday!!!
