Yeah, the fumbles sucked, but the most frustrating thing to me was not getting off the field on 4th down. They were 4-15 on third down, which is great. But they were 3-5 on 4th down, which is painful. We knew what they were going to do every time, and we could not stop them. I mean when they are playing 4 down territory from the 1st quarter on, it changes everything about how you are going to approach D. I mean 3rd and long isn't really an accomplishment at that point.

The INT was bad too, but the defender made a good jump on the ball. Initially it looked like he was dropping back into deeper coverage and realized his guy made a quick out(and TL was staring at his [BLEEP]), so he adjusted jumped the route. The ball should have been on the way before Kirk turned, and he stared him down way too long before pulling the trigger, but it was a good play by the DB. I think he almost unintentionally baited him into the throw because he had his hips turned like he was dropping into coverage right before TL made the throw.

That game was tough to watch. I always said before the season I would be ok with an L if it was close and we were in the game....but..... It still sucks
