  Speaker 1: I think you gotta feel, you gotta feel the pain
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and embarrassment of today, and that's what it is. It's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: just it's terrible, you know. I it's one of the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: worst games I've probably played in my career, So you know,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I feel that and I take responsibility for that. And yeah,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: it's just we couldn't do anything right today. So but
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: you gotta flush it too. I mean, that's the thing is,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: uh sucks what the reality is at the thirty one
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: point loss, And that's crazy to even say, but thirty
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: one point loss the same as a three point loss,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and we lost today and we gotta move on. We're
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the same team we were five hours ago when we
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: came in here today and we didn't play like it today.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: We played terrible, just across the board, including myself. So
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: that's where we're at. That's the reality of it. Yeah,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you're gonna we're gonna wallow in it tonight and we're
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: gonna watch the tape tomorrow and kind of relive it,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: which is which is gonna suck, and then we're gonna
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: move on. We're gonna get ready for Tennessee. I mean,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it's that's the biggest game of year. Is our next one.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: So that's where we're at. And yeah, not much else
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: to say about it. You know, you can't. There's not
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: much good to take for this one today, Trevor U.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Four turnovers today. I mean, obviously you guys came in
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: with the idea of not turning the ball over at all.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Is it sort of did it sort of catch up?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I guess to you guys today in terms of turn
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the ball over and resulting in a negative point differential
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: things like that that.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, yes it did. We obviously weren't
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: able to overcome those turnovers. They were just I thought
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: they were always at the wrong time. It seemed like
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: right when we got some momentum, we turned it over.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: You know, I gotta be better. I gotta I gotta
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: hold onto the ball. I had a bad fumble near
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: midfield that that can't happen. You know, we were driving,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: so that's something where you know, I got to look
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: in the mirror and fix that. It's happened a few
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: times this year and it's just can't happen. You know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I gotta take care of the ball. I gotta play better. Then.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: You know, we had a we had a tip pick
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that another one's like, then that just doesn't go our way,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you know, tips right to the safety and he makes
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a play on it and wasn't a great throw by me.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: And then I had one late in the game fourth down,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: trying to kind of make a play. That's that's the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: worst position I think in football to be in, just
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: for an office, is when you're when you're getting beat
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: like that and you're still out there and you're having
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to try to four shots. You know. That's so that's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that stuff's gonna happen. And I think all of our
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: most of our turnovers were on the plus side of
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the fifty. So it's that stuff. Like like you said,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it did come back to bite us today, and we
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: didn't play complimentary. You know, when the defense got to stop,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: we didn't do anything with it. Yeah, I mean, there's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a lot I could go into talk about it, but
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: there's a lot. It seemed like everything went wrong and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: we we right when we got momentum. We just shot
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: ourselves in the foot. So you know, you know, I'd
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: take a lot of responsibility for it. Played really really
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: bad today.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Trevor, did you feel sped up throughout the course of
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: the game and then maybe did that give into that
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: snowballing effect? And then secondly from the jump, did they
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: do anything schematically that maybe you guys weren't expecting along
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: the defensive front.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: You know, they got in some exotic looks early in
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the game the first and second drive, and you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: we we had some answers for it, but we had
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: we had a miscommunication, We had a penalty on the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: first drive. Those were back to back plays and resolved
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: in obviously the penalty backed us up. And then sack
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: for the miscommunications. So that's stuff that just can't happen
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: early in the game, especially when you're playing a good team.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You're playing you know, a good defense, a good offense
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball. You can't give
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: them momentum and you give them a sack, you get
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: their pass rush going. All the stuff that we talked
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: about during the week of not doing we did. We
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: started off with a three and out, gave them a momentum,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: they got the ball. I think they went and scored,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I can't remember now. Then we got the ball, had
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: another three and out, and it's that's just not how
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you want to start the game against a team like this.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: That's they're really good, especially playing with the lead. Our
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: offense is kind of built for that. They have a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: great scheme. They held onto the ball today. We didn't,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you know, we were minus four in the margin. You know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. The last team to win might be
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: us in the in the playoffs. I guess not to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: be ironic, but it doesn't. You don't win much when
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you're minus four.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, like you said, a couple of three
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and outs to start the game, did you feel like
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the like the energy was off.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Did you guys come out for No.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. You know, I think we had
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a honestly, That's that's what's most frustrating is when you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: when you play like this and y, you can't point
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to something. And during the week, I thought we had
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a great week of practice. We had the right mindset,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you know. We obviously there was some disconnect at some
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: point to play that way, but I thought the energy
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: was was really good. We were all amped to play
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and this is a big game, this is a good
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: team coming in here, and we felt like we could
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: take advantage of this opportunity and beat a good team.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And we didn't. We know, we played we played our
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: worst game of the year, So I don't think it's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: anything like that, you know, I just think that we
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: have to be better at handling adversity, something that we've
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: done really a good job of in the past. But
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: we have to be better about not letting things snowball
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: when there is a mistake early, bounce back someone else,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: make a play and make them right, you know, whatever
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: it is, instead of just kind of letting them all
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: pile on top of one another, and then you find
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: yourself in the game that we had today where it's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: like nothing seems to go right cause we all just
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: made made our mistakes at different times at the wrong time.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So we've got to be better at overcoming those things
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: because you're going to have mistakes and games and you
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: can't make them. You can't let them change the game
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and let them change the momentum completely.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: We didn't do a good job of that today, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: they did a great job of capitalizing on the momentum
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: shifts of the game.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Tavor, what is the offense doing consistently well? If anything?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough to say after today. We didn't
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: do anything really well today. Honestly, I thought we you know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I thought we'd actually we hit a handful of big plays,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you know, out in space. I thought we did a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: great job. We had some some nice screens, we got
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the ball in space on some plays, but we played
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the whole game from behind. So it changes your whole
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: plan at that point when you know, get into the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: third quarter and you're down that much because you haven't
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: got anything going. You've had so many three and outs,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: we've had so many second and longs, third and longs.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: You know, you don't get to play the game the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: way you wanted to because it's not the same circumstances.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: You're not in you know, second and medium, you're not
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: in third and medium, third and short. And of course
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: we've got to be able to overcome those because those
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: are the situations we're going to be in some time.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: So we got to do a better job of overcoming
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the tough situations. But when you constantly put yourself in
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: that situation every drive, it kind of changes how you
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: want to play the game. So I think that's what
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: happened today. And you know, I think we've been we've
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: been pretty consistent getting the ball out, getting the ball
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: in space, taking all the defense gives us being efficient
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: this season, we weren't today. You know, I think there's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: there's a handful of things that I missed today that
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I have to be better, you know, just being honest
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to you guys. You know, I didn't play, didn't play well,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and it's you're not gonna win much in this league
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: when when the quarterback doesn't play well. So yeah, I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: got to watch the tape and check some of that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: stuff out.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Nine games in, the offense has yet to hit the
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: stride that we saw you guys in at the end
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: last season. Is there a feeling or worry that it's
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: not going to get there?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: No, not at all.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: How hard is it to function if you're not connecting
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: on first down? I think it was like nineteen plays
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: thirty eight yards today and first down.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: It's it's really tough, Like I said it, you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: it's it changes the way you you call the game,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the way sometimes you play the game when you are
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: behind the sticks. And I mean this year, honestly, though,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: we've been pretty good at being in second and long
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and making it third and short. We're getting the first
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: down and putting ourselves in manageable situations. But we didn't
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: do it today, So that that was something where you know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: we got to go back, We got to go back
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and look at it and see what we could have
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: done better. I know, there's, like I said, there's a
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: handful of plays where you know, I didn't I didn't
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: make the right decision, or I didn't get the ball
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: out quick enough, or I didn't find the right guy
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and I knew that coming off the field, and I
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: got to fix those and then the other stuff. You know,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: we're all just gonna have to kind of take accountability.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Like there's there's things out there on every play that
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: we're all doing where we can be better, and it's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: just all kind of it all kind of hit today.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: At the same time, how much adds to the frustration
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: collectively or anger that it's happening here you're one and
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: three and two really ugly performances at home.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it sucks because you know, for all the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the good things we've done this season, you know, we've
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: we've we've played really well at times, and we've had
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: some big wins and they just haven't been here and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that that sucks when you can't experience that with your
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: fans and the people that support you, and you know
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that's it's important to win on the road, but it's
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: really important to win at home. So you know, we
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: got to figure that piece out. We got to play
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: better here. But you know we can't. We can't hit
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the panic button. We can't make it more than it is.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: We played terrible today. We laid an egg. Nothing went right,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: we didn't do anything right, and we got to bounce
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: back and play better next week. We got another home
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: game next week, so we got that opportunity to play well.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: It's a division game too, so you know we gotta
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: we gotta flush it quick and we will. The leaders
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: in this team, we've been talking we were made of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the right stuff. You know, you gotta handle a little
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: adversity along the way, and that's what this is. And
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: but yeah, we gotta win at home. It's gonna be key.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: If you want to going around the playoffs and you
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: want to have home field advantage and you want to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: play at home more, you got to win here. So yeah,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: thank y'all, You'll have a good night. Thanks
