I was amused that the whole freakin' team got on his ass for the foul. That play late in the game was amazing. Still, a TD or at least FG on the drive he killed with his nonsense would've been huge.
It really does hurt much worse--all of the what ifs that endlessly torture your mind. Made last night unbearable.
Thought I would prefer a close loss to a blowout loss. Now I'm not so sure. I've been in a horrible mood all day and as you say, all of the what ifs torture the mind. I wish we had that last possession back, get the first down, and ice the game. Oh well...
Reading your last line just made my stomach turn...again. I hate the what ifs; however, I am proud of the way our team played and happy that our QB and WRs had a good game (and hope they have their shit together going forward.)
That was just wrong. I erased the game the second it was over last night. Now, I'm torn about my knee-jerk reaction. Kinda like how I had to cook dinner because I immediately went into my kitchen and threw out a shit ton of leftovers I could've served tonight. But on second thought, I don't think I'll re-watch it. My mom and I had this discussion today. She said she will re-watch it "to get over it."
Its still too early and painful for me to rewatch the game. Had the final two drives not been marred with questionable coaching and Bama wins. I could stomach rewatching, but not losing like that. I know that Miles and staff did go many good things leading up to that point. They did have a great gameplan, as well as making adjustments. All that said, there is just too much questionable calls for me to accept this loss. I admit Im one of those fans that can be very emotional. Still in all, Ive watched enough football to not be a happy fan right now. I just hope the OL, Mett, and the WRs continue their play from last night. IF they do LSU wins out and should win their bowl game as well.
I gotta hand it to Coach Stud, he called a hell of a game. If I were him I'd start turning Les' headset off on 3rd and 4th down from now on.
