When you hold the opponent to 17 points after four quarters, you should win that game. The defense did its job.

There are several key moments in a game that a team has to take advantage of. I know I'm being Captain Obvious here. The 2nd and goal from the 3 and the 2nd and 2 in OT which have been discussed quite a bit. But the clock management to end the half was atrocious. We get the ball close to our 40 with 2 time outs after a first down catch. You call a time out there. Instead, we let almost 20 seconds (or something like that) burn off the clock trying to get the O lined up. We took wayyyy too much time in that situation and the HC has to make that call after a first down to regroup. You only need 20 or so yards to have a shot at a long FG. This is why I'm convinced we'll never win anything with Garrett. He's just too fucking football stupid in those types of situations where we could have taken firm control of game.

No argument from me on any of this.
