Originally posted by genus49:I missed the game live but I watched the condensed version on NFL+ last night, while I hate the play calling and refusal to mix things up, the game really didn't look that bad. The plays mentioned above and a couple dropped balls killed us. We could have won even after spotting them two INTs.
The inconsistency at WR is really hurting us. The injuries have really been a pain and yesterday's game showed it with all the sloppy play.
Mac at least has the history with Bourne to lean on. Purdy was limited a lot so not sure how much he even got to play with KB. I still can't get over his huge drop on the 3rd down right before the punt return TD.
2 absolutely BRUTAL turns in that game. Ferrell fumble, followed by Etienne TD run then the Bourne drop followed by the return TD. Two massive swings. Totally different game if either swing doesn't happen.
Very frustrating knowing we really should be 4-0 right now.
Not worried about Purdy at all.
Other than that they played a good game.
Four turnovers, a 4th down failure, a dropped 3rd down pass that resulted in a punt return for TD, and a BS PI call on an INT, and poor red zone offense.
Kinda mind-boggling we had a chance at the end tbh. We flat-out gave the game away so hard. Hope they learned a lot against an AFC team and this doesn't become a pattern.
