Back from the game wondering how the announcers handled the penalties. At one time I thought tackling was a penalty.
Along with the obvious dumb a-s mental mistakes I thought the team was not as ready to play as they could have been, and one more time the staff failed to call the plays on offense late in the game in the other teams end of the field to put the game away. Champions know how to finish and put a team away and get a one yard gain to keep a drive alive. A lot of games can be won without the ability to play power football in these situations but I would suggest that championships will not be won with this deficiency. What is wrong with running a big back with lead blockers off tackle for a yard? Sam was tentative and hesitating, and with an empty backfield on the last such try.
Great game to win and what a job they have done with the offensive line, the defensive front and the coaching up of the running backs.
