I really thought it would have been fitting for the game to end with SF getting the first down and running out the clock. I felt the game ended on them running out the clock.
With over 7 minutes to play I felt they’d either run out the clock or add 3 more points . That’s how the game had gone . The fact we even had hope with one last shot was more of a slam that they didn’t put the nail in the coffin sooner than anything we’d done .
I looked over to my wife after they punted and said this last gasp won’t end well. Poorly ran teams find ways to lose. And we really had no business winning the way we played this day.
And I wonder if the loss wouldn’t have been more easily to accept in such fashion. But receiving that last gasp desperate scenario set us up for another horrific ending that will be embedded in our memories forever.
Id argue the game was loss well before that last possession which provides us an escape from how we were dominated throughout the game.
