I pretty much agree with others in this thread.
In the regular season, we were a top 6 team, no question.
But last night? I hardly recognized our O and ST units.
Couldn’t run early on.
Goff was a bit off on his passing.
Gurley with at least 2 drops. Really?
That freakish punt that touched Countess.
Pharoh’s fumble.
The lopsided TOP.
An exhausted and shorthanded D in that second half.
McVay getting away from the run too much and too soon.
Our players? Were they rusty? Too tight? Playoff stage fright? I dunno. I do know that it wasn’t pretty.
Like I said, I hardly recognized many of these guys.
Bottom line? I think it’s fair to say that both our players and our coaches got playoff schooled. Both will learn from this experience and be better for it next year.
We’ll be back next year, I think. Some players will be upgraded. Some units will be strengthened this offseason.
This was just year one of what I think will be a long run of playoff appearances. We’re just getting warmed up.
