The Loss sucks....But this teams Hungry

Out of our four losses we have three basic reasons for losing:

QB throws up a stinker: Buffalo, NO games fall into this category. We knew (or should have known) that we'd have a few of these. Historically, most first year starters have games like this and end up costing some wins. Even some experienced starters have games like this. These I could see coming. One happened against one of the hottest teams in the league at the time (NO) and one happened against a team we should have beat (Buff).

Defense plays like garbage: First Miami game. This was a big surprise. The defense was supposed to carry the rest of the team. We have veterans who know the system at each level in the defense. No excuse for this and it still ticks me off.

Special Teams breakdowns: Second Miami game. Shonn Greene's fumble contributed, but without two touchdowns from special teams, I think we should have won yesterday.

So, is there a common thread in all these losses? I don't think so between all four. IMO, that's a good thing. It means that the reasons we're losing aren't chronic. If Sanchez wasn't able to pull himself out of his funk, or the defense couldn't stop the run consistently, we'd be in a much worse place.

I'm probably being a bit simplistic to boil down our losses to one major cause for each game, but I think, in our case, that it's true. When our stuff's on, we win games. When it's not, it's been a different thing each loss. If we can get everything firing on all cylinders consistently, we'll be in good shape the rest of the way.

The consistent thing we're seeing is inconsistency.

If you cant take the losses, then leave. Its part of the game, but you must really leave if you think the season is over, because this team is really pissed off now and I feel sorry for the teams we play for the rest of the season.

Each phase of our team...
ST, Offense, Defense took a beating... We should be stronger now.

Fair enough. Do we blame the head coach for that? Let's keep in mind it's his rookie season too and I expect some improvement from him. I don't see anywhere else to go with that as the cause though.
