Turfing a ball on an easy third down conversion in the first quarter, when you were on the way to a 14 point lead, then a 3 and out after the game is tied, followed up by a 2 quarter long snooze fest, then trying to come alive again in the last half of the fourth.
My brain is scarred from watching this over and over and over and...........
Look my brain scarred from all of it ,including all these ridiculous posts that leave out facts and perspectives, that may be hanging with you, but what's hanging with me is,
in 2016 Prescott was rookie of the year not bad for 4th rounder who was not supposed to do anything, wasn't even the backup ,had one of the best touchdown interception ratios as far as how little interceptions he threw as a rookie, but we throw that under the rug..
so you can't play in big games there's a lot of big games in that season then in the playoff game what's really scars my brain is the fact that Prescott over and over took this offense along with Ezekiel Elliott another oft criticized player over here get back get back in the game over and over and over to have the defense over and over and over give up the lead including the one again ,on the last drive,
how many times we have to sit here and watch the defense make mistakes or the offensive line have 11 penalties or the offensive line miss a block or have absolutely no run game at all, literally under 3 yards per carry in most of the last five losses in the playoffs.. Let me forget the second round Rams game where the offense had to fall asleep on the bench by the time of possession eating lack of defense gave up like 278 yards on the ground, pretty much played keep away so the offense had almost no chances to try to get back in that game... were they perfect ,no, but there were more problems in that game than the quarterback..
literally no physicality in the trenches, coaches just getting schooled, and yet we just keep falling back to a couple of bad plays at all quarterbacks have yes even in big games, we watch players make a mistake..
We watched jalen hurts in the Super bowl couple years back fumble the game away, didn't seem like much but it was a mistake ,but his team kept him in it but they lost, defense got blamed, irony huh? we watched jalen hurts once again the beginning of the game throwing interception you know what the defense said no problem I got your back..
I watched Matthew Stafford lead the league in interceptions and then turn around and have two interceptions in the Super bowl and you know what didn't hear anyone pointing out his mistakes you know why the defense says I got your back the team had his back and they won that game..
No player plays perfectly in games. mistakes happen for all kinds of reasons, but it takes the entire team to have each other's back and be playing well and execute instead of falling back on every little negative play that happens within a game which happens to all players;
people miss blocks, people blow coverages, they miss tackles, they drop interceptions, they sail a snap over heads or TURF one, they miss a field goals/XPs, all this crap happens within a game but in the end the great teams they pick up the slack, I saw it in the 90s eight men did not play perfectly in those games he had a great run game a great offensive line a great defense and a great coaching staff and anytime there was a critical situation in a game, they all picked each other up..
