When...
...we went for the 49 yard FG in the first quarter, make or not, I felt that was the game. We gave up the initiative after coming out dictating to Dallas and moving the ball. We gave up field position.
I just feel like Gibbs constantly telling the team we will NOT go for it sets a tone, an attitude of not playing to win. He did it again after Dallas was coming to life in the third quarter.
I mean, you go for it twice and one you don't make it and one you drive for a TD, that still trumps two made field goals. So, of the two drives, the way we were moving it, we don't score a TD on at least one? Or get a shorter field goal try on both?
I'm sorry, in a lot of ways we dominated this game. Take away two big plays to TO, maybe we win but that's the thing; you can't control everything.
