For so many reasons.
This was a statement game - one that would have elevated the boys had they won. There are a lot of whispers and doubts about this team and it would have proven a lot if they went into Gillette and pulled this off. The stage was set - NE was hurting on offense and vulnerable. All we had to do was step up, be smart and be sharp.
Insert coaching. The little things that even Troy was calling out. Why is Pollard lining up to return the kick in the end zone when the kicks haven’t come close? Why are we losing 20 yards of field position trying to kick a freaking punt? Why aren’t our players coached to try and punch the ball out or have our dbs turn their heads to locate the ball? Zero turnovers in wet and slippery conditions is embarrassing. We are 6-5 with the #1 offense in the league. This team truly has the talent to go the distance but it’s wasting away with continuous poor coaching.
Finally - that tripping penalty took any remaining fun out of the end of that game. The anticipation of seeing if Dak could pull it off even if the odds weren’t in his favor was completely killed. I almost spent good money to go to this game and to be honest I would have been so pissed sitting in the cold rain for 4 hours for that to be the end. What a rip off for the fans who spend their hard earned money on this league. Every year the officiating is under scrutiny and it seems every year it gets worse.
Let’s be real, the bogus calls weren’t the reason the game was lost. But it feels like the final twist of the knife. It’s hard to be a fan of this team.
