if they lost straight out, were proven the lesser team I'd think otherwise. 24 hrs. later I still see them as the better team that lost. The refs didn't help things, they aren't supposed to anyway, but they are supposed to see things and they didn't, more than once, more than 2x's, and more than 3x's.
Yes of course we have a step up for 2024 with picks and money to go with the youth we found in 2023. Have a solid line to work with and tweak with a better C IMO....a look into a LT as well. But still with all that this young group could have learned more with a win yesterday to add to there "scholarship" program.
