Post Game Loss Complaint Thread

I mean....


People like @HeinzMustard, @KnoxVegasSteel, and even @OX1947 have been saying this for a while now. If anything, I believe Heinz has been the most vocal overall. Tomlin led teams, for whatever reason, seem to lack urgency during the early portions of games circa 2021.


There is now four years of evidence of this happening. At some point in time, it isn't on the players. Has to start with the Head Coach.

 

Tomlin said he talked to NY about the Minkah hit and they agreed it was a clean hit , hire some refs who have a clue.

Tomlin talked a lot about losing the turnover battle and bad penalties being a big part of the loss. He also talked about the poor start by the defense being a big problem. He's not wrong about any of it.

 

It blows my mind how little this team blitzes under Austin. Indy was 6 of 8 on third down. That's mind blowing. They had a relatively, by today's standards, immobile QB facing them most of the game and they did little to make him uncomfortable. I don't understand.

 

I agree. They are an average football team with just enough talent to play with the good teams and maybe if everything falls their way, they can be competitive against elite teams. The X factor that is concerning a quarter of the way into the season is the number of injuries, especially along the offensive line. I figured they would be a middling team, fast start aside. I haven't seen anything to change my mind.

 

Really. Can You give the link. I find that quite interesting.

 

Are you in the meetings to know how this goes down ?

 

The last mistake (bad snap during the last possession) was the final backbreaker. Would have been great if we did not have that and eventually won.

Despite everything that did not go our way, we had a chance until the end, which says something. We lost to an inferior team IMO.

 

About 1:44 I think he's referencing a pregame show from earlier in the week though.
It is interesting.

 

Thank You Very Much.

 

You really think the Stiller's beat the chargers with a healthy Herbert? I certainly do not...

 

Still won't be close to the pouncey years after the ankle injury. He had more bad snaps then Ban had completions some games

 

yes

 

I haven't gone back to where he's referencing though might do it tonight while playing games.
