Why am I still mad about the loss?

[jerr66]

Hell it is Thursday and I am sure everybody is ****** still. How can a team out play another team so bad and lose? Here is how 3 dropped ints,3 dropped first downs, and hell I will just bring up 1 red zone chance and that is when A.J. all of the sudden can't catch a simple slant for a TD. I was so ****** after the game I wanted to burn my flipping christmas tree down.

It's Thursday, and I'm still mad about it. Why? Probably because that loss told me that we're probably not going to make the playoffs.

I'm still mad about the losses to Miami, Cleveland, and Denver (we had that game WON!), too, but the Dallas game hit me with a dull THUD!!! "That's it. Season's over."

It was a big game. I knew Pitt had lost to the Chargers. We had a chance to move ahead of them, and we blew it. Marvin can't seem to win big games. I'm hoping we win out, but I'm not optimistic. I don't expect that we will, but I'll watch tonight. If we win tonight, I'll watch the Steelers game. If we win that, I'll watch the Ravens game. But if we lose another, I don't think I'll be able to bring myself to watch because I'll know the season is over.

In years past, there was an issue with talent and conditioning....I think that has been addressed and corrected.

With this current group of players, I think it is more of a mental issue...not that they are stupid....just NOT FOCUSED/CONCENTRATING.

Now, is that something that can or cannot be corrected through coaching/repetition?

If they can find some way to improve concentration...to make those catches by both the WR's and DB's.

Eliminate the stupid personal foul penalties.

Not run out of bounds when they are ahead and trying to keep the clock moving.

Not allowing some little DB run you out of bounds at the 1/2 yard line?

The list goes on.

With whom does that responsibility lie?

After how horrible we played offensively tonight against the Eagles....you should feel much better that we won a game we could have easily lost had the Eagles not gotten turnover-itis...

I'm still ****** off.

And on top of that, I'm semi-****** off about tonight's game...

Granted, a win is a win... but that win gives me very little hope against the Steelers and Ravens.

Oh well, 8 wins is pretty much what I expected anyways.

I do feel a little better this morning, I mean, the Bengals won the game and all, but from the second quarter on, the offense was crap. The Eagles are just crappier than the Bengals.

If the Bengals win in Pittsburgh next week, I will have high hopes. As it is right now though, I just can't see it happening.

I have reached apathy, even after the win last night. That's not good. The Bengals have got to win next week, for that to change. Hope that by Sunday, it changes if the Ravens and Steelers lose though, so who knows.
