Commenting solely on the most recent post, which wasn't joking, so that point is also nullified.
Right. So. 12-0 run with a multitude of elite teams taken down in the process. A single loss and we should change everything that we do from the top down. It is an idea so laughably illogical that I'm at odds as to where to even begin. And the biggest confidence issue lied with the fan base. This was the worst match up for us on paper. I've mentioned that since before their Patriots game. With Ryan Tannehill and Jeffery Simmons in the line up, they were an entirely different team, not remotely resembling a 6th seed. Yet the most common expectation around was that of a blow out. We lost to a team that was a built to take us down, which would've been a stark possibility regardless of how our behavior. The only ones truly embarrassed by the loss should be embarrassed for their own overconfidence.
12-0 and absolutely ZERO to show for it. An MVP for Lamar, and a field trip to the Pro Bowl. Where was that confidence catalyst yesterday?
You can chalk up the Titans as much as you want they are a good team better than their record. Fact is we had every factor in our favor going into this matchup other than a few nagging injuries and got absolutely destroyed. We couldn't run it on them, are not built to pass therefore struggled in that area once they got up on us. It was Browns week 4 all over before we even had Marcus Peters.
But clearly like you said our players were confident right? A catalyst that lead us to 12-0 and upset all those big name teams?. Seems like that confidence was no where to be found yesterday.
We are a better team than the Titans period so maybe our players overconfidence that i was pointing to in previous posts lead them to underestimate and not prepare well enough.
Like Marlon Humphrey said we choked. Plain and simple. Seems like all they had to do was get out in front and force us into passing mode as opposed to our dominant choke hold run attack and they had us.
Overthrows, drops, missing tackles.
And we were severly out coached, as Harbaugh made a few bad decisions and some poor time management as well.
Don't act like we just lost to the 49ers or chiefs some dominant alpha. We got upset, shocked and maybe ot wss because of that so called confidence catalyst you mentioned.
Back with Flacco id say the Broncos in Denver, and the Pats in Foxboro were pretty bad matchups on paper too but yea..we
weren't an alpha #1 seed with an offense like no other
