Just like you would be besides yourself had his knee been completely [BLEEP] and we're running the rest of the way with CJ Beathard.

That's typically how it goes. Whether it's on a forum with aggressive thick skulls with brains softer than baby [BLEEP] or in the local or national media. 

What's your point? It doesn't absolve the fact that they were up 14 [BLEEP] points with less than 3:30 to play. 

It's fun to gamble sometimes. I get it. There was nothing to gain there mathematically that would have put us over the top. Other than meaningless stat padding for Fantasy Football buffs.

Not true, a first down there keeps us in possession of the ball and forces them to start burning TOs. As for your first sentence, that's part of the game. It's when people start saying things like "sit the starters since we're up 14" and "Sit TLaw this week so he can heal up" that it becomes absurd. As always, the play call was fine but the execution lacking.
