Final thoughts on the old country butt whipping (aka) USM contest

I stand corrected. I thought the ball initially landed inside the 10.

No worries, but that wasn't the only one. However, that one killed the momentum we had just gotten back up with a field goal,TD & defensive stop. It led to another nine points for them before half realistically putting the game out of hand.

I agree…I was at the game and we lost all momentum on three major moments;

1) Not going up 7-0 after the pic.
2) Chris Smith fumble inside the Red Zone to start the second half.
3) Getting pinned inside the 1 after gaining momentum.

I would have tried the field goal after the initial pick from Moncrief. Reason is the Eagles had only allowed two fourth down conversions in 11 attempts going into the game. Of course there is no guarantee kick would have been made. Still getting some points after a turnover may have kept momentum on our side a little longer

Normally, 8 out of 10 ten times I agree with you! But after this post I'm adjusting things.

I didn't have an issue with Mike going for it there believing in his defense. Of course I didn't have that little tidbit of info for quick reference either. What I did have an issue with, was him not having a decent fourth down play that he believed in, or two point conversion play to run. That was another stinko.
