That's a valid point Dags. But it's a snowball effect when your players fail to make the plays. The offense and defense both contributed to the loss. If you look at each player failure in isolation, you think "well, that's not such a big deal"....just a false start, or just a missed block, or just a missed tackle, or just a dropped TD pass, or just a brain fart in ANY of the areas we witnessed player failure today.

But it all adds up to a loss.

Part of that was our defense not making plays to get off the field. Too many mistakes. Too many opportunities missed to stop them on 3rd down plays. And yes, they stayed on the field too long.

Seattle players made the plays to win. Our players didn't.

BTW, I had no problem with going on the 4th down play. I did have a problem with our offense failing to pick up a 1st down there. It was a matter of inches. We couldn't execute.

We didn't deserve to win today.
