1- The calls weren't the reason we lost but they certainly swung some momentum. The old saying is these calls even themselves out over the course of a season in which case we a due a butt load. No idea how they called the Arnold catch a fumble and the no call PI was just a pure choke job by the zebra. Add a few plays later the Lawrence TD overturned on a not clear and obvious replay and one play later Linder is down and its a turnover on downs. Turned a 5pt game back to a 13pt game and killed any chance we had. Just one of those days where whatever calls the refs made, they went the T*tans way

2- Its another embarrassing stat. Not 1 made FG through 6 games. You need to keep adding to that scoreboard and we aren't good enough to just score TD'S. They need to make a decision with Lambo, however painful it may be but the fact this has rumbled on for 6 weeks is a bad look for the coaching staff

3- Twitter is saying apparently Linders injury isnt as serious as first thought so fingers crossed.

4- Bevell seems to just outsmart himself on the 1yd line. Like everyone expects me to run so ill pass! The reason everyone expects a run is that its one stinking yard. You should get that just falling forwards. We have a 6'6 QB, just get him to reach over like Brees would do. 

5- Robinson was fantastic today, great run to get us that early TD after the fumble TD. Sadly seemed to move away while the game was close and not sure why he wasnt in for the 4th and 1

6- Pass D still looks a real worry and we were getting killed on the drag routes. We did ok against Henry, even with his stat line but the lack of pass rush and blown coverages are a toxic cocktail 

9- That run from Viska was great. His refusal to go down and fight for yards was brilliant but sadly one play. We need more of that effort from all over.

You can see the team trying and fighting but the mental errors cost us big and we beat ourselves with missed kicks and poor execution way too much still. Big game next Sunday against Miami and a big chance to snap this streak but this fanbase is worn down. 20 L's in a row is brutal and we need a W, cant keep focusing on progress.

1.  As I said in response to another post, I don't think the calls even themselves out.  If preconceived notions are allowed to be utilized in officiating games, the officiating will almost always be unfair.  It seems the same teams get reamed by the officials every year.  That no call P.I on Arnold in the aftermath of that invented call on Claybrooks was an outrage.  The refs reached for his flag, for [BLEEP]'s sake!  What changed between reaching for his flag and the end of the play to cause him NOT to throw it?!?

3.  Hopefully twitter is right and he can return to action soon.  I like Shatley, don't get me wrong.  But we're better with Linder.

4.  He just has the propensity to get cute down there.  Just pound it in!

I haven't seen the broadcast yet, but I listened to Lageman and Boselli on the way home from the game, and according to them, the 4th and 1 inch play where Hyde lost yardage was designed to just pound it in.  The problem was, one of our offensive linemen, they said it was Jawaan Taylor, whiffed on his block, so the play got blown up and Hyde was forced to try to bounce it outside.  

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but Trevor Lawrence looks really good.   We always said the most important thing for this season was to find out if we finally have a franchise QB, and to my eye, the answer is a resounding yes.  Our biggest problem is obviously defense.
