We saw that not only can we hold one of the most potent offenses (granted they are having a bad year) to 10 points for a two and half quarters. On top of that we made their defense look as pathetic as ours has for 3 1/2 quarters.
But then we committed the cardinal sin. We let off the gas in the last 4 min. hence the two dumb ass runs right into the back of an 8 man front that eventually led to Sage's dumb ass run.
I measure based on other successful teams in the league. And from my own perspective non would have called those two plays.
"YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME" "NOT TO HOLD ON TO THE WIN"
You still had to think this was the Colts. No matter how bad they have been playing you cant give them the ball with 4 min and see if they can beat you.
So I'm just saying it, the loss was 95% on Sage and 5% on the last 4 min playcalling.
