That is an embarrassing loss on so many levels.
Our team was totally flat out of the gates again. How do you come out flat for a Night game at home. Of course we came out flat in week 1.
Our QBs are awful. We got a fortunate hail mary at the half and otherwise scored 1 TD all night. Hoyer threw one of the dumber INTs I've ever seen to end the game, and he was clearly the better QB.
We couldn't run the ball against a defense that can't stop the run.
The refs were terrible, but it still doesn't account for all of the penalty issues. Hopkins had an especially dumb one late.
And above all of that, our defense got run off the field by a team with a 40 year old QB and no running game. I'm tempted to say we made Hasselback look 30 but the truth is he was never very good when he was 30. Of course he had a clean jersey at the end of the game, so that makes playing QB pretty easy. JJ was invisible all game unless you count all the run game holes he opened up by jumping around blockers. Our whole defensive backfield was awful. And for the 2nd week in a row we looked gutless when it came to tackling.
This team is in the worst division in football and is already dead in the water in week 5.
