Looking for reasons something happened and creating a narrative. I get it. I don't think he meant what people are insinuating, he certainly didn't state it. And he's the last guy that would take the foot off the throat.

Not to beat a dead horse, but is that what he said, or is that what you think he meant? If you read his actual statement, he's not wrong and that is the mentality everyone wanted our team to get back to.
Thanks.
My concern is that this isn't the first time we've been outcoached, especially in close games. We're a young staff, I can live with young mistakes. Just need to clean some of them up going forward.
Fatigue was clear. I know it's thinner air and I've played in those types of conditions before, it does take a toll.
Get anyone that can get open and catch. WR have been a HUGE disappointment so far. Everyone knew this was a thin/young group but damn...any chance KW can be brought back?
OL is a major issue. Snaps were much better this game (until OT), but we gave up some easy sacks/pressures on nothing more than a basic stunt. And did so repeatedly.
I still think AM has too much on him re leadership. The kid just isn't ready to be the public leader for the offense. Frost screwed up forcing that on him, IMO.

Do we know they let up? Or are we again thinking that's what he meant instead of just actually reading his quote?
Our entire premise in the weight room and on the field for some of the things we do and say is to gain the mental edge on the opponent. So now we are up 17-0 on a team at half, and the defense has given up only 74 yards on 32 plays, and we are mad at our captain for stating "we were dominating them, this game is over." That's actually the mentality we are trying to get, that no one has a shot when they are on the field against us because we are so confident. Then they come out and stop them from scoring the first 2 possessions of the 3rd quarter, and we still think that statement is an issue?
We are grasping at reasons that aren't there IMO.

We've been outcoached before, and it will happen again. Look at their coaches experience compared to Frost. Frost is the right guy to get us where we need to be, but made some mistakes a couple days ago.
Fatigue was pretty clear, but it would be nice if our offense could just impose their will a bit. We can't yet unfortunately.
and in the first half we knew how to hold em and the second half we knew how to fold em
you were passed out on ripple before halftime
The internet leaves a lot of room for interpretation, which is not always a good thing. I like Mo, heck I like the team and think things will get better. Just not sure you say (whatever you mean by it) what he said.
I gotta let this one simmer.
At this point i think a better mentality would be
It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over
hope he plays all the games before that one
Grasping at what? Mo thought the same thing I did at half. Not mad at him for saying it. Are you trying to argue that the players did NOT get complacent to some extent and then the pucker factor took over when it began to snowball?
This is the same pattern that has been repeated over and over for a decade and a half. The quicksand...to reference The Replacements.
We need some experience closing some games out so it becomes a habit. Right now the “habit” is...We’re ahead, how can this go wrong? Oh, no, it’s going wrong, how do we stop it? Here it goes again...
On the conditioning piece . . . I think you cannot overlook the altitude combined with the heat with a hearty helping of offensive ineptitude dooming the Blackshirts in the 4th qtr. The "Mile High" factor is real. So yes, the defense was gassed--but the team who trains all day long at altitude--all other things being eaqual or nearly equal--has a distinct advantage and it showed.
Which ones? Doing your job perfectly on each and every play is too much to be expected of any player. Saying they are not committed to their craft and desire to play at the highest level is a rather presumptuous comment to make from the guy watching from his couch. Sometimes you just get beat and just maybe we aren't coached as well as we thought or have all the talent we have been told we have. I said this in the summer for weeks that though we were greatly improved the last half of the season we still were hanging out hats on losses and 4 wins that in the scheme of things were not that impressive. All I can do is hope that SF is the answer and we can move the needle on the recruiting front. We are not there yet.
