Well I think that this team knows that this week is a must win for many reasons. I'd imagine that they believe in the case of a loss they are staring a coaching/staff change, as well as a lost season directly in the face. This can all still be avoided. Looking at the schedule the next 4 games are very winnable. This team HAS to take this one game at a time and make sure that they come out of this week with a win. I understand that if they continue to lose that Gus and the staff have to go. I guess I just hope that things get turned around because it'd be nice to have some stability and success for a change. I believe that this week will really show just how much this team wants to play for their current coach, staff, and even the fans. The season is not lost yet, but it's getting close.
This team has the talent to come back. The division is weak. But I believe they're frustrated because they don't know how to fix it. Bortles said after the game "If I knew what we were doing wrong, we wouldn't be doing it." This coaching staff has an idea of how the team should be playing, but has no idea how to get the players there.
When you play NOT to lose with a 1pt lead and 6 minutes left on the clock...this is where we are.
I'd prefer us winning than losing. The clots give us a tough test though. A QB with no pass rush can pick apart our weak zone defense... So I'm not very excited about our chances.
But with that said, the clots are not the most talented in terms of O-Lines. Hopefully fowler and Yannick have break out games... I'd like to see Malik Jackson land really hard on Luck's shoulder too...
Here's hoping BB5 has a very short memory and can bounce back from 2 weeks of sub-par football.

Last week's game should have gotten Gus fired immediately. But I think the jury deliberation should be over by all those in the front office. Win or lose, I'm hoping Gus is gone after Sunday. Which means, I hope we win and can try to salvage this season with a new coach starting in week 6...
hahahaha "This week is a must win game."
And last week wasn't? And the week before that?
This is stupid. If we lose this week, you're going to say "I know we lost last week but this week really is the must win week!"
I admire your enthusiasm but this season was lost when Shad gave Gus an extension for this year
as long as Bradley is still coaching this team, the season is lost. Even if we win this weekend, the season is lost. We are not going anywhere with this clown, it was obvious a year or 2 ago... and here we are in year 4 still dealing with it. Things aren't magically going to click and all the sudden Bradley becomes a great coach.
Khan is starting to look like the bigger idiot of the 2 to me
Immediately following the loss to the Ravens I was had given up on the season. Now that I've had some time to cool down and put things in perspective, I realize that there are still 13 games to be played, and that many of these games are winnable. I honestly believe that with the schedule that lies ahead, this team can still win 10 games. Is it going to be tough, yes. Have they proved that they can win 1 one game, let alone 10 out of 13, no. But if this team can get over the hump and get out of London with a win, get a bye week to focus on and beat a mediocre, injury bitten Chicago team, and the beat a young Oakland team at home who has to travel across the country, all of the sudden were 3-3 heading into Tennessee. Much crazier things have happened than a team winning 3 in a row. I know we have seen this team lose game after game, but what happens if they string together a few wins? Maybe the pressure to win starts to subside, and they start playing up to their potential week in and week out. Time will tell.
