The good news is that for the second time this season, we went on the road against a tough opponent and didn't completely embarrass ourselves. The D played strong and forced turnovers- they were going for the ball on every play and it eventually paid off (contrast this in the GB game, where GB GAVE them turnovers). ST came through with a few plays and is finally starting to look like the unit it was last year.
The bad news: once again, we came within 1 or 2 plays of beating a significantly better opponent. Think of how much differently this season could be if we could have pulled it out against NE and Indy- we'd be 5-4 and so would NE. Our offense looked absolutely horrendous and couldn't get in the endzone, despite numerous opportunities with a short field. The OL still can't pass block for ****, and our coaches had a good overall game plan but made horrible calls during the game and showed no ability to make adjustments. Our front 4 on D still can't get pressure or stop the run.
It was a strong effort, but in the end, it's just another "big one that got away" story for this team.
