Brace yourself we are missing the playoffs this year.

The only thing I like about this is that it shows our guys that ain't nobody going to punch their card to the dance, unless they sacrifice themselves for the cause. So far, they are responding with some energy.

I like the 4th down guts by Harbaugh, but dumb play call. Trestman should be excited he ain't in Chicago, yet he continues to underwhelm at the helm.

No doubt. I picked us at 9-7 and missing the playoffs. Needless to say went over real well in here with our homer crowd.

Not many folk on here acknowledge that the ball was underthrown, but I agree with ya!

I don't know-remember when the Lions played Dallas last year? That got wonky re: contact and hands up, etc. They felt jobed to from the league's explanation. Of course as a fan of ours I want the call today, but if that is called the other way on one of our defenders I am more livid. Refs didn't blow this game for us, our offense did in the first three quarters.

Nope. Faceguarding as in blocking the vision of a reciever is not a foul in the NFL.

Sorry, I was trying to say at the very most it was face guarding, but as you pointed out this ain't high school, so faceguarding wouldn't be called there. So to clarify (or attempt to) the contact was incidental (IMHO) and not to the level that a flag should be thrown for PI.

If true there is no doubt that Injuries have really bit us in the tail these last two years. Although I thought we'd miss the playoffs anyway, it won't be any easier to endure.

Doh! Good call. No penalty on the play then period. Just an underthrown ball, lack of execution in the catch, and a nice play by a guy we passed on.

I somewhat agree; however, since I was expecting a spanking (31-17) the fact we had a chance to win there at the end made the loss a little rougher than I'd expected.

Nope. At most it was face guarding. Both men were in the air and defense did not gain advantage. While competing for the ball it was merely incidental contact. The best question is was the pass intentionally underthrown?

True, but ball was underthrown.

Well, I'd be happy to be wrong--instead I'm reminding folks of what I said prior to the game being played. And you?

Already predicted we miss the playoffs. 9-7, but defense played much better than I expected today and offense was much worse.

Meh. I predicted 31-17. Much better than expected, but still Trestman showed he ain't no Kubiak and Joe continues to fail when elevating those around him in regular season.

Hat's off to Stewart to make a play after we told him to walk.

Nope. Much better than expected.

Alrite folks. I'm going for some food. See ya this week with a few takes and an I told ya so...31-17 Broncos.

I predicted 9-7 missing the playoffs. Just when I thought I might be wrong, we show our true colors.

Joe plays well in the playoffs, but can't raise his game in the regular season. It is what it is and won't change.

You people who speak of Joe as being elite are misguided.

That's on Joe.

Wow. Allen looking fresh.

Whew. Hats off to the Defense who is COMPLETELY fulfilling best case expectations. Say, offense, where you at? Seriously, put together a drive here to assert some authority.
