God damn, Coach took this loss hard apparently.
He should. We all should. It was an exciting, fun and successful season BUT ...
If Limmer
or Dotson just put their body in front of Carter on the 3rd-down-sack, they slow him for a second.
Tyler Higee was
breaking wide-open over the middle, as the D-Back slipped. It was
an easy-pitch and catch for a first down; and, probably a touchdown. Instead the two OL figured the "other guy" would take Jalen Carter, and
the Eagles' best defensive player was unblocked.
For all the big plays ... for and against the Rams ... THAT play would have put the Rams ahead (assuming the XP). Now, Philadelphia would have still had a minute and three timeouts to get into game-winning-FG-range, so a victory was not certain.
All the Big Plays Aside ... THAT ONE was Fucking BRUTAL.
A home NFC Championship Game was right there.
