What could have been, but something:has always been wrong this season.

I genuinely believe the fates do not favor us. I don't know who or what brought the wrath of the football gods upon Duval, but these close losses are EXHAUSTING. False hope worse than no hope, yadda yadda.

D was getting to Hurts, they were uncharacteristically sloppy, but we give them some freebies or can't figure out how to advance a pigskin for 2 and a half quarters of football. The week before, all the offensive heroics, but the D forgets how to cover or rush and blow the game. JUST ONE GAME, man, where we do well on both sides of the ball for a game...that too much to ask?

Can't BLOW a team out. That should be what we are looking for. Instead people try and take small victories with the "well we were in the game". Pathetic.

When a team/ref tries to give you the game and you still cannot capitalize, that's bad.

At one point it was 22-0 and we had 30 total yards of offense. To finish that game as a five point loss is unfathomable. The fates dangle that carrot in front of our noses just long enough for a sniff, and then we run a 3rd string RB on a post. YOINK! no more carrot.

If we can manage to understand the basic tenets of offensive football AT ALL anywhere in the first half, that was a winnable game. Or at least another chance to let the D collapse in the final minute. Six in one hand, bucket of turds in the other.
