After coming out strong and then fading in the middle after a slew of injuries, our Birds were still in the mix to pull off the biggest upset of the weekend.

As Cody Parkey lined up for his second attempt at what would have most likely been the game-winning field goal, I was at peace with this season.

After a miserable preseason we all hoped was part of masterful misdirection plan to hide our real campaign to defend our title - we have continued to see sloppy and inconsistent play from our Birds.
