Not a must win but if this team is serious about being a playoff contender they need to come out and take care of business these next 2 games.

I think it is a must win in terms that we haven?t played well in a while?..and another L is going to put some panic in that locker room.

Time to play a good 60 minutes and roll in to the most important stretch of the season playing good football. It starts with a beatable Broncos team at home in prime time.

No chance with our shit defense. Lucky if we can play 20 minutes mediocre.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Wow.

This game seems to have become a pretty big deal.

 

[kdp1980]

Fire Johnson, run the fucking ball, you fucking cunt

 

[biggunsbob]

Very strange play calls in my opinion. Judy wide open.

 

[mhughes0021]

Lol 1 play and scoring range. Team blows.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Amon Ra was so wide open on that 3rd down play he could have gained 20+. Quite literally nobody near him.

Also?.why is Montgomery out wide running routes? Why not have Gibbs in there? Fucking dumb.

 

[biggunsbob]

His Team can?t get out of its own way now.
