Fortner was laid out across the running lane on his back and Strange came to a full stop right there 3 yards in the back field. Then Ezra was going horizontal across the center line, so there wasn't a cut back either. There was no getting around that disaster because the point of attack got demolished.

Trevor calls his own number there not because he's not a team guy, but because he probably realized the play called was booty juice as was the one just prior.  I think there is a legitimate reason to gripe at Press regarding the play calls on that series.

There's some fairness to that. It's 4th and goal. Ball shouldn't have been in anybody else's hands but Trevor's there. Knowing that the line and running game can't get it done. 

Better play call should have been made. I would have liked to have seen something more creative there. Maybe you line up with the same exact personnel, just flex out into a different formation with Lawrence going in the gun and Strange and Bigsby flexing out wide. 

Come to think of it, isn't that something in and of itself? It's the biggest [BLEEP] down of the year, our divisional title and play-off hopes are on the line, and, we have Bigsby and Strange out there? Two guys that have cost you more than actually helped you all year?

Come to think of it, that part there probably gets glossed over too much. Very odd coaching decisions there in general...
