Take a step back
I don't come to the forum that much, but I've never seen a reaction like that before.
If anything, you've managed to unite the player base (your CUSTOMER btw) against your team. I've never witnessed so much anger, protest, and unrest before. And if you don't notice it, you're either blind (sorry for you on that one), inept and incompetent (you should truly rethink your career choice) or stupid (sorry for us here).
Do something. Anything is better than your silence and the joke you released last night. There is more value to a team to admit a failure (honnesty, strength, understanding) than to push through and persevere like the last idiot of the village. You won't do yourself any favour, quite the opposite. It will brand your team as inept and weak, and everything you will do in the future will be looked at under that bias and won't be valued as it could.
Time to go back. Time for reverse before it's too late.
