Still really disappointed we had 5 FGs. Didnt this happen to us a couple of years ago and it cost us at the end?
When we were drafting wide outs instead of defense, yes
Love ya Goldy, but I ain't letting you skate on this one. You threw a fit when we drafted Cee Dee Lamb instead of Damon Arnette or K'lavon Chaisson in 2020. Let's look at the tape:
Damon Arnette (Out of the league now)

K'Lavon Chaisson

Cee Dee Lamb

Lamb is on his way to a second All-Pro season. The only other guy you wanted that's still in the league is a backup linebacker who gets one tackle per game and one sack a year.
Lamb is a Ferrari while Chaisson is a Pontiac Aztec.
If you had paid close attention, it wasn't so much Lamb or any name specifically.
We were getting smoked on defense and we continued to get smoked for about another two years and it didn't have to be that way. We all sat and watched cheating ass Tom Brady throw to nameless receivers for years, and it never mattered because they could stop anybody.
I think solid defense has been the overarching message in the NFL for years now.
It looks like we finally got that going this year though, praise be to God.
Winning by cheating is just as impressive as winning fairly, probably even more so. Your opponent was better than you in every way, and you beat them with your brain.
