Our only hope for keeping him is that teams are turned off by his lawsuit against the NFL.

had no idea we played today so i missed the game

looks like we started off pretty well but couldn't hang on. which of the football gods did we offend that is resulting in all these turnovers? we're already suffering with the playoff collapses but this is major kicking us while we're down

seems like mullens does a lot of good things and a few head-scratchingly bad things. unfortunately the bad things come at the worst times and have a high cost

let's just have a qb rotation, just the ride the hot hand until it cools

The frustrating part yesterday was how the defense collapsed. They hadn’t given up a TD in like 11 quarters, then they gave 3 in the 4th. I don’t know what happened there.
And yeah, Mullens makes me nervous. His last TD was just a terrible decision, throwing the ball into traffic on a 1st and goal from the one.
We might be best off just going with Hall.

what did we do to get such dreadful injury and turnover luck this year?

i don't know if the injuries are worse than average but it feels like it

Losing your starting QB is always going to be devastating if you don't have serviceable backup. we kept our heads up for a while, but it was just too much.

I guess we haven’t technically been eliminated yet from the playoffs, but it’s probably better to lose for draft position.

Jefferson ended up getting to 1000 yards, which is nice.
