Keys to the Loss

[JohnsKey19]

We gave up big 3rd down plays and our offense only went 1 for 8 on 3rd down conversions.

The injury to Ware really sucked all the momentum out of everything. We weren't playing well and then we went 99 yards to even it up. Even though the D was not stopping them well to begin with, that really took the focus off. Natural for that to happen. I hope he has a quick recovery.

That's a poor excuse for the defense. Look...it was 3rd and 12, the crowd was as loud on that play as they probably have been all year. All the defense had to do was make one play. Newman gives up a gimme down the sidelines

I'm not saying that as an excuse John. That is how it felt to me watching it. We gave up other 3rd longs prior to the injury. It was a problem all day. I felt it took any momentum we had away.

The game changer was TNews piss poor effort on 3rd and 12. He gives up crucial 3rd downs every game and this one was the back breaker.

Wow, just wow!
