Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 5352974, member: 1245"] I gotta say this one actually hurts. 50 sec with a qb making a miraculous score and you can't hold the game vs Dallas and now 40 sec and the defense can't hold up vs Denver. Those 2 situations = another lost season. Can't field a kicker that can make extra points in fair weather? Really? At 19-0 there were 2 defensive plays where the guys not close to the tackle were jogging and I texted my son and said the defense thinks they have already won the game, and seconds later it was 19-8. With 5 min left we plunge twice into a stacked box because we want them to use their timeouts. After 2 predictable yards we are 3rd and long and only a hope and prayer from giving them the ball back. 40 sec and you go to a prevent defense and rush 3. Rush 5 so the pressure makes the ball come out short and just make 10 yard tackles that eat up the clock. Instead he has all day to throw and if there isn't a catch there will be a penalty. Prevent defense prevents wins not losses. This one may stay with me as long as 'the fumble' and Donyell's missed free throws. ugh. [/QUOTE]
