Following the forced fumble Shaw's first priority needed to be intermediate passes to get into FG territory. It was obvious by then that points were going at a premium. Also the defense was beginning to get tired and Shaw put them back on the field too soon.
Our FG from inside the 10 was a big wasted opportunity with Costello missing the wide open receiver. One would think he'd be taught not to throw into the double coverage.
On the supposed fumble by Bryce Love. Over the years I've never felt the officials respected Shaw. Could he have thrown the challenge flag on the spot. That proved to be a devastating sequence.
On our final touchdown we wasted a time out we needed at the end of the game. Also, on the two point conversion we seem to have the most vanilla deep redone playbook in the country.
The final offensive possession was of course a complete disaster start to finish.
This game makes me even more concerned about the decision to promote Tavita. Our brain trust on offense is utterly without merit.
Pretty tough to blame this one on the offense when they put 37 on the board. Actually there is plenty of blame to go around.
