That said, they were due. Short week, long on injuries, and for the 1st time all year ALL the bounces went the other way. Maybe that early dropped INT would have changed the momentum.
Did they miss Darues? No idea. If he was on the roster he probably wouldnt have been out there anyway, or 20-30% of snaps which isnt enough to make much of a difference unless of course he does... but frankly that just hadn't been happening. Their run D lives and dies by whats been out there for the majority and MD just wasnt a part of that.
They just need to own the loss and come back. Benji hopefully at the very least changes the way the box is stacked and if it dosent then they need to take advantage. Last night was WEIRD. Matthews caused himself to fumble, Oleary was a second away to just tossing a live ball to a ref, refs were too involved in calling ticky tack stuff both ways and not calling egregious maulings, onside kick recovered but offsides (but not really) and then another recovery after the penalty. Josh Freakin McCown rushing for TDs . Games like this happen...ESPECIALLY in the NFL. I feel like its more about how they respond than what happened last night.
Marcel was at the very least probably happy he got to get out of Dodge before that happened  though.
I'm glad I didnt end up making the trip, thats for sure!!
