Hey man 1 yard short isn't exactly getting embarrassed.
I've seen nothing other than the half time highlights, but you guys seemed to put up a fight.
Shouldn't of even come down to that. We bit ourselves in the ass too many times prior in the game.
ETN fumbled by kneeing the ball out of his own hands late in the 2nd quarter. Would of been 1st and goal on their 5 yard line with us up 11-10. Instead the fumble went into the end zone and gave them a touch back. Took points off the board.
Devin Lloyd INT'd a throw about mid way through the 3rd quarter but we got a stupid roughing the passer penalty. Foye put his helmet into Danny's face and of course it takes away the INT and gave them a free first.
4th and 1 on the Giants 20 yard line. If we kick a FG we're up 7 points. 20-13. Instead they go for it, fail and the Giants go down and score. Would of been a tied game, but instead we're down 3 points.
Not to mention 13 penalties for 81 yards. The refs were dog shit today (for both teams), but they definitely favored the Giants and let them get away with holding all game long. They called some pretty bogus shit on us.
Just stupid shit like that where we beat ourselves. Every loss has been by 1 score and in the final seconds/minutes of the game. We're not getting curbed stomped like we have in past seasons, but we just can't catch a break right now. Can't seem to get out of our own ways.
The wins are coming, but it's a pain when you walk away from every game knowing you should have won it. That's been the case for every game this year, besides maybe the Eagles game. Still had a chance at the end of that game, but 5 turnovers are hard to over come.
EDIT: As far as my opinion on Dougy P right now. He's a good coach but still tries too much sometimes. I like that he's aggressive, but there's a time and a place. I wish he'd run the ball more though. We have been gashing people with the run game and he always goes away from it in the 2nd half. It happens every week and it's been costing us as well.
