We almost gave the game away

We are very lucky our D kept it up on the last Carolina drive, because those two false start penalties almost killed us. The game plan at that point was simple, run the ball and make them burn timeouts. Instead we get two false starts. Unacceptable. It is an insult to Gibbs and the defense, because they worked very hard to keep the Panthers in check. If we had lost this game, that would have been one of the points that would have been brought up.


And on a side note, I think this may have only be me, but did we get away with a pass interference? To me when Jake chucked that ball up, Smith cut to the ball in the endzone, and was bumped way off route by Vernon Fox. Did anyone else catch that?

very true. all good points, but at least we won.

Unlike most fans here, I don't blindly follow my team. This was a good win because we dominated Carolina, unlike the Dallas. But at the same time, if we wanna finish strong we have to make improvements on silly mistakes.

I am not a tool who is just gonna sit around, I will be critical.

Call it what you want. However, Springs $#^$'d up on that pass to Smith. I was a CB, SS and utility DB. If the ball is in the air and catchable you are told to do anything necessary to make sure it will not be caught for 6. Call it dirty if you like, nobody ever said football was a fashion show. DB's are supposed to get half the distance to the goal instead of 6, period. Nothing dirty about it, just try not to get caught. PI is better than 6. Lest everybody forget its a bloody and vicious game. That is why you watch and love it. Watch tennis if you want to watch a non-violent sport.
Remember, it's called the Grid Iron

Even the most dominating team has plays they could have done better or would have cost them the game, or could have been called for P I, or should have been called, but were missed. SO WHAT!!!! we WON!!!! I mean c'mon. Just enjoy it. I think some of you would find something to complain about if you won a $100 million lottery jackpot.

We almost beat the the Vikings. We almost beat the Titans. We almost beat the Bucs. We're almost 7-4. "Almost" doesn't get you anything in this league.

Exactly.

We could play the coulda, shoulda, woulda game all day. In the end all that matters is whether you get the W or the L.

Soooooo, your saying that if I................almost won the lottery.............DAMMIT

If I remember correct the WR stopped and was trying to make a move toward the ball and if anything it was incidental contact because of the poor throw.

I agree that all that mattters at the end of the day is the final score, but hooskins has a point. Four fumbles in 17 minutes is absolutely crazy.

Really good point that I completely looked over. Those fumbles could have killed us as well.

Look I am not trying bring downs peoples spirits, I still think we deserved the win, I just dont want this team to let me down again. If they could play well next week too, that would be great. Eliminating some of these mistakes will greatly increase our chance of winning.

Those false starts were high school...how do you do that at home in a quiet stadium witht he game on the line. Rediculous...

very true. all good points, but at least we won.

Yeah, at least we won and WON well. dallas-ass blows - Please don't rain on our win... we've had so few this year!! I'd like to enjoy them when we have them!!!
