Receivers Betraying Keenum Today

And yet in spite of the fact that there was plenty of blame to go around, we were still tied with less than 2:00 to go.  This is still a damn good team for the most part.  Facing too many games with 5 offensive starters out is about the only thing that can make me concerned about our chances.

Kind of had a bad feeling about this game but hopefully they just move on and we get the O-line back healthy next week.

as much as i hate keenum. this was a bad game from everyone....but dont act like keenum had no blame for it. ridiculous

@"Ilovebigtd's" sainod: anyone that thinks this is case’s team after what 10 game of him playing is delusional im sorry. 

its hard to be really good consistently id be so mad if they trade teddy next year and roll with keenum as if hes for sure the franchise guy. ew! 

10 or 11 games is not enough to make this guy the franchise guy.

shit changes very fast in the nfl.

rememebr nick foles 20 td 3 int year? 

didn't work

Here's something else to read:

Thanks Nichelle,

Reiff is the most worrisome news right now..

Carolina sure as hell didn't beat us as much as we beat ourselves... giving up two 60 yarders is not us...another drive aided by penalties...five drops...one starter left on the OL and we still could have won...sign of a very good team...

200+ yards rushing given-up today, granted 120 of em on 2 runs. That hurt to type that. D was getting gassed I think by the time Cam ran for his long one that iced the game. 

They did a much better job of pass pro today than we did. Like I mentioned elsewhere, I don't think we're getting a great rush from the front 4 for a while now. Hunter and Griff in particular - I think they might be missing some push up the middle too. 

Dejo cutting left was a WTF moment...hopefully Reiff doesn't miss much time, but if we can get Elf and Remmers back we have more than enough horses to crush the hapless Bengals...

@"Ilovebigtd's" said: ^^^ i honestly did that just so people can shut up about me hating him. 

i cant even fake root for him. 

watched a lot of the Rams last season (out here in LA) his receivers last year had more drops than I can ever remember seeing in a season...it's all good though...we got Keenum out of it

@"BarrNone55" said: 5 drops today. 5 drops the previous 12 games. Keenum was maybe a bit more inaccurate than he's been all year.

And WTF was Diggs doing falling down when no one hit him on the 9 yarder? 

Damn it Spielman!  ;) 

Sometimes, for every team, things just don't go your way and you lose a game you should win.  This was one of those games.  We just centralized all the mistakes teams normally make into one game.  Keenum played ok but not great.  OLine was clearly a step below what it has been after the injuries against a top front 7 and they allowed a lot of pressure.  I think our playcalling was a little bit off today.  Both Diggs and Thielen had multiple critical drops.  Our D didn't do what it was supposed to do.  There was too many blown plays.

I assume that this will provide us a good reminder of how things can go and why you need to maintain the correct mindset going into the playoffs.

The loss could be more impacted by the injuries that came from the game than the actual loss itself.  

I agree about the injuries ... but Philly just became beatable in Philly.  

We should win the two home games and secure at least the 2nd seed.  Hopefully we are healthy after the playoff bye.

The heat is on him now.  

Like Teddy would have been any better in this game or this whole year.
