The Olave drop against MIA literally cost us a playoff birth.


That’s insane haha.

Not even a negative post or Olave hate. Just perspective. We’d be HOSTING.

Wasting the first 8 weeks with Rattler cost us

I think we beat the Cardinals, 49ers, and Bears with Shough.

You call it a waste, I call it a guaranteed top end draft pick.

With this roster? I'd much rather a top draft pick and add assets > a playoff exit.

I would love to be in the playoffs but I'm not unrealistic enough to think we are winning a SB this year. A top draft pick helps us more.

Agreed

Rank speculation. The reason you don't start Shough right off is to let him develop and get confident. Don't ruin him behind Ruiz and Penning.

These are always funny to me.

We went 3 and out like 5 times in that first half and scored 3 pts. Thats far worse than one drop.

If he makes that singular play, do we win or lose?

That’s what this game is all about

Its always about more than one play. Always. To boil it down is casual fan shite

bullshite. If we don’t get ambush we might not have won the Super Bowl. If TP doesn’t pick off Favre, we probably don’t even go

It’s about what you do in the moment

That said, Olave is getting better and better

I’d rather Shough have sat and learned than make playoffs this year. No one should be upset with a better pick and how things have played out.

If Tracy porter doesn't pick off Peyton we could've lost the sb

You see how easy it is to make it about one moment? Its about moments. Always. Not just one play.

Unless you think one drop is worse than 5 3 and outs and 3 pts in a half.

If correct
That’s unreal

And I’ll be the first to admit that I was hating on Olave
Maybe he just needed a coach and a QB?

In that moment, that drop is worse because it was in his hands and should’ve been caught to put us in the playoffs
