Genuinely the worst thing about losing now is just how gleeful the dark cloud mother****ers get. They LOVE that everyone else is finally as miserable as they are 24/7. Sad shit!

Some things today seem to be more problematic and less likely to be a one game anomaly.
1. WRs - they suck. No separation and when they do get separation they drop passes. We lead the league in drops. The failure of the WRs is also putting too much pressure on the OL line to block for 6-8 seconds. 2. Short yardage play calling - too predictable, too much sideways and no ability to gain enough for a 1st down by the run. 3. DBs - aggressive young bunch but Sneed is turning into the Jawaan Taylor of the coverage group. Refs are now watching him like a hawk and he is getting a lot of penalties. 4. Punt team - we can't field a punt nor prevent teams from gaining a first down on a fake on 4th. 5. Run blocking and run stopping - both the O amd D lines having issues. 6. Mahomes - just being sloppier with the ball than normal, throwing too many sideways check downs and missing guys who are open. 7. Play calling and risk taking - too predictable, too cute, and we are punting too often instead of taking a shot on 4th. We got Mahomes and Andy takes the ball out of Mahomes hands way too much. Overall we seem to be limping along and only the Bears game were we hitting on all cylinders. Gotta tighten things up big time.

I think "annual stinker" implies that we lost to a team that aside from the any given Sunday statement, we had no earthly business losing to. The Lions are actually good. Should we have won that game? Yeah but there is no shame in losing to the Lions. Colts last year, Denver now, Colts with Jacoby Brissett, Raiders in the "bus around the stadium", etc. Those are stinkers.

Watching Patrick's presser...that dude is sick. I mean, he sounds like shit. This team was off tonight. It is what it is.

We won't know until we get close to the end of the season but it definitely has more of a chance biting us in the ass than not mattering that is for sure. It is one thing to have 2 losses already against playoff teams but the Lions and Broncos ???? Seriously?????

They are good against mediocre and poor teams which means they are a "paper tiger" still, but good? Nah. I will give them that they are improving but not good just yet. Just saying.

Agree, no biggie at all. Hell we beat them 16 times in a row - it wasn't going to last forever. Now on to Germany! DAS KINGDOM baby! Let's do this!

Yeah, I think if you can separate that it sucks to lose looking like we did and it always sucks to lose to Denver, and just see it as one of a handful of expected (not expected as in the team we lost to, but just the number of loses that was reasonable for the year) losses, it makes it less Chicken Little. At about the halfway point, we are 6-2. Puts us on pace for 12-5/13-4 which seems pretty reasonable. We are not going 4-0 vs the Bills, Bengals, Dolphins, Eagles. 3-1 would be awesome. 2-2 is fine. Hell, even 1-3 provided we win everywhere else would keep us pretty on schedule. Guess I'll be more "it's worth **** all" if we start losing more than 6 games or so. Even then, we will go into the tournament with the best QB/HC combo in the thing. As for home field? Whatever. It's not like we were going to be the 1 seed or even the 2 seed for 15 straight years or whatnot. WBF

The silver lining is that hopefully we are razor focused for next week BUT I think that taking time to travel to Germany(time away from preparation and jet lag) and not being healthy enough(sickness and injuries) could definitely rule the day regardless of our focus.
