Overreaction. The players know they were down key teammates. They know they made too many mistakes. WR have to hold themselves accountable. OL must be better. All that and they still almost won. They played a subpar game and still were in it till the buzzer. They'll bounce back next week

I don't see how this game crushes their souls and sends them spiraling. It's a s***y loss, but it's not like we didn't belong. It was an awesome game. We caught some breaks, they caught some breaks. Both defenses forced multiples TOs. In the end it came down to FG kickers. If this teams confidence rides on whether or not Chase Mcglofkin makes a kick, then they never belonged in the first place.
This isn't the playoffs. I was over the loss the second Meyers FG went through lol. The only thing that sucks about the loss is that it was Seattle, but the good thing is we will see them at least one more time this year.
We beat NYG in the 2011 reg season. We all know what happened in the playoffs.
Sports psychology. You never quite know how the players may react to a loss, let a lone a hugely emotional, embarrassing and devastating loss such as this.
You may want to ask Kyle, since he was the OC of the 2015 Atlanta Falcons. Started the season fast out of the gate, won 5 straight, then suffered a bad loss to the Saints and the team began to nosedive on a steep downward spiral. In the end, the Falcons ended up with a 8-8 season.
