I thought we did some really stupid shit in this game, a lot of very questionable clock shit, stuff that is not characteristic of Reich.
The losses to the Steelers and the Dolphins made this a MUST game and frankly, it felt like Frank had a very tentative approach and coddled some guys too much with too much worry about the short week. Overall I think he takes a hyper conservative approach, in some respects the new "load management" approach we see in the NFL aimed at having fresh legs for the stretch run- and I think there's some solid logic in that - to a limit. At some point you gotta fucking just go get it and to me, I don't see a team that looks like they have that mentality.
I doubt we make the playoffs and that's a shame because we SHOULD be in the playoffs with this roster. This really feels like a year wasted now...
