That must be some of the worst special teams play I've ever witnessed a team have. Shanked FG, two shanked XP attempts, two return TDs allowed when the game was there for the taking. It should be absolutely impossible to be that useless.
Defense did enough to win. Gave up 20 points, but...
How was the Giants game bad? We put up 360 yards of offense, and 27 points, while ending the game by kneeling 3 times from the Giants 3 yard line. If they wanted to rub salt in the wound, I suppose we could have punched it in and put up 34, but as it stands, that wasn't a bad game.
edit: saw...
If this team is really a playoff caliber squad, we go out and handle business against a team that is starting a poor backup QB, with a defense that is rated as one of the league's worst.
Obviously, division games are always a wildcard, but this is a game we better win with some kind of...
That 2020 team was smoke and mirrors. That team collapsed down the stretch, lose 4 or their last 5 games, then got smoked in the wild card round by the Browns.
If Newton doesn't immediately lose the game, I think we win it. We would have got the ball back with just under a minute, and only needing a field goal. I feel like Jayden and co. would have pulled that out.
As it is, Steelers have a nasty defense (2nd in the NFL), and we just put up the most...
No Siebert/Robinson/Lattimore is going to hurt. Pretty brutal 4 game stretch with Philthy coming up on a short week.
I hope Jayden is eating his Wheaties. Going to need him to be superman.
I have high hopes for Sinnot going forward. Dude is extremely athletic. Tight ends take time to develop, but I'm hopeful he can become a true jack of all trades.
