I think, in the headline above, "Down" is the operative word. After about the early portion of the second quarter, that was where everything went - players, coaching decisions, and the direction fans' optimism and hope for the season went in the drain.
This game was one of those that gave you a little pop of optimism before brutally crushing it like an egg under Jim Schwartz's heel. I mean, when the first series of the game goes for -10 yards, Carson Wentz's first series on the road results in a field goal, and uber-accurate-from-within-40 Connor Barth misses one on the outside edge of the goalpost from 31, you get the feeling of fighting uphill.
