This was my thought exactly...

4. They let another team push them around in a game that was supposed to have added meaning or be more personal. This is so befuddling. We were led to believe the players were not going to let Bruce Arians lose against the Steelers, where he was the offensive coordinator for eight seasons before being unceremoniously dumped. What did they do? They laid an egg, just like they did against the Rams.

Early east game where we stayed on the road I had a bad feeling anyway, then the officiating I knew in the first half we were screwed it was clear who they wanted to win the game!

In other news the Hawks fall to 2-4. :D

Btw I still think BAs team got hosed repeatedly in today's game & it hugely affected the outcome. Did it probably cost us a win, you bet.

Two games against two teams BA really wanted to beat - whether he made it known publicly or not, but everyone knew - and two losses. Maybe against those teams BA needs to just keep quiet prior to the game and say any jabs after the game if he wants. You know there's bulletin board material being posted.

This was a much worse loss than the Rams game. Letting a 3rd string QB toss the ball around like that is not... ugh.

Those locker room interviews as useless. All spin and cliches.

This offense obviously has problems with physical, hard-hitting defenses. Then they try to act physical and tough, and just get called for penalties instead. :confused:

Who cares, they lost to two teams they won't have to worry about playing about in the playoffs anyway unless Pittsburgh makes it to the SB which I doubt will happen with the way NE is playing this year.

*cough* Madden 2016 *cough*

And this loss is hardly devastating. How Seattle lost the SB, now that's devastating.

They slept in uncomfortable beds, practiced on makeshift fields,
Staying in WV may have caused some distractions, but whoever wrote the above quote, obviously doesn't know "The Greenbrier."

I thought the same thing - hardly 'uncomfortable.' Maybe 'unfamiliar'
