Is not the reason we are losing this game.

Our running game is completely ineffective.

Darnold is pretty awful when he's pressured, and he's been under pressure a lot.

Drops have killed a couple of our drives.

Our D has gotten next to no pressure on a 44 year old QB that hasn't played in the NFL in 5 years.

Our D keeps giving up drives that are long enough to put our O in bad field position when they eventually do get a stop.

Calling for a fair catch inside the 10 yard line is stupid.

We're losing this game because we're playing like shit, and quite frankly, simply getting beat by a team that is playing better than we are today. Not because the refs have it our for the Seahawks.

Your not entirely wrong but you nor correct either. The officiating is definitely A huge contributor. If the officials called the holds on both sides, we’d stomping them and Rivers.

All, valid points. But pretending the officiating isn’t impacting is ridiculous.

The 2 teams actually playing the game have had a FAR bigger impact on this game than the officiating.

Its been 3 quarters. We know what they will or will not call.

We watched the effing LOB consistently toe, if not jump over, the line on PI for game after game. This game should be no surprise in what they will or will not call.

Still no excuse to run Walker up the effing middle 4+ times in the second half.

Haven't managed to get in the end zone in 3 quarters.

Our offense has scored 9 points.

I’m also not putting much of this on the refs. We have been pure and utter shite in all 3 phases.

Reading comprehension.

I absolutely did not say the officiating had no impact.

We just settled for yet another FG.

Is that on the refs too?

Refs are a factor favoring the Colts today. The players and coaches has also sucked on offense and defense.

Both things can be true at the same time.

So we have 13 minutes left to get the ball back and find some way to take the lead over a GRANDPA-LED Colts team missing its top 2 Corners.

I just can't with this team, man.

If they would have thrown a flag that gave them another shot at 3rd down or a 1st down then they wouldn't have had to settle for the FG. So yes it is.

And missing it’s starting LT and LG

This is just insane.

And we thought we could challenge for the Division?

F*ck that.

The way our offense played (yes, I acknowledge the Refs are garbage, too) thus far, we're on our way to a one-and-done scenario as a Wild card at this rate.

I like it. Good experience for the team. Learning how to win in different ways.
