Nothing wrong with that. Imo the injuries to key starters and playing three highly emotional, consecutive games against the NFL's best finally caught up with the team.

I haven't even watched any highlights or team interviews

We basically couldn't stop Ryan and Jones - even the winning td it was Jones with the catch.

Looking at the Kittle fumble again, it doesn't appear it was a gimme he would have got the first down. I thought four sure he had it and felt that was the turning point of the game.

Kyle threw this game. He's playing the long game. He ran a pre-season offense; like he doesn't want to put anything on film unless absolutely necessary. Rested guys that could've played too. I'm sure he thought he could've won, but this game literally means nothing. We STILL have to beat Seattle at the end. IF Seattle had lost to Carolina we might've seen a different playbook.

Now the next 2 games are a must win. I hope having their backs against the wall ups the level of play/coaching.

I know tin foil hat theory, but we've seen Belichick throw a game before to eliminate certain opponents from the playoffs.

Man that actually made me feel better reading that. Don't know if true but I'm running with it. Appreciate that brotha 🤙

If we had won, we'd be one game up on Seattle.

Guess what? We'd STILL have to win Week 17. Otherwise Seattle would have the tiebreaker.

Because we lost, we are now tied with Seattle.

Which means... you guessed it! STILL have to win Week 17!

Things COULD change if we lose to the Rams and Seattle beats the Cardinals and a bunch of other things happen. But it's likely, either way, that we are in a position where we have to win Week 17 to win the division. This was true before, during and after today's game, regardless of if we had stopped Jones at the 1-yard line or allowed him to score the game-winning TD.

Finally someone gets it! Great post.

Jesus Christ.

Really hope Ford is healthy come playoff time...
This D badly needs a pass rush again. It was driving me crazy watching no one get home in big moments.

Vanilla offense and defense. Single coverage vs Julio all game was a dead giveaway. Kyle picks and chooses who to open up the playbook against. Getting tie breakers over the packers and saints was important, so we saw all the bells and whistles. I'm not saying he's right, it's just a pattern I've noticed this season. This guy obsessively selfs scouts and wants to break all his tendencies.

I bet his thinking was if we can beat the falcons with a vanilla game plan, great. If we lose it literally changes nothing. With Seattle beating Carolina we HAVE to win the last 2 games. This game was pretty meaningless actually. If by showing less of our playbook on film means we beat Seattle I'll hold this L no problem.

Lol what? Teams already know what he does on offense. I believe he went more vanilla, but teams have film on his offense from the first 15 games of the season. So him hiding something for this game doesn't mean jack, especially when playing the last 2 games against division opponents who already know what his offense is. Your theory doesn't make much sense

I'm not that worried about this loss. Us coming out of this game with no injuries is key for these final 2 games. I know we will play with more urgency against the Rams and get a W Saturday night. I fully believe we will shock people when we blow out Seattle out in their place. We will get the #1 seed, I would bet on it. I do think we went more vanilla this game, we came out with no injuries and we got some rest for players.

Saying Kyle threw the game is completely absurd and that's being nice.

What. The. Actual. f**k?

Were we trying to look like s**t?

I think he would have got that 1st down. He has some of the best speed in the league at TE. And he has maybe the best stiff arm in the league for a TE which we witnessed a few times in that game. I'd say if he doesn't bobble and fumble that ball in his own hands without being hit he gets that 1st down by about a 90% probability. There is always a chance not. Of course. Just like any play.
