Losing definitively will always be difficult for any fanbase with major expectations. When it comes hosting a team with similar playoff aspirations in your home stadium, it does cause concern about how a team matches up against the better teams in the league.

To lose control against a vulnerable Seattle team is dispiriting for Raheem Morris’ team that built up so much belief during their three-game winning streak against all divisional opponents.
