I really wish we would have kicked that field goal in the first half. That 18 point deficit would look much less daunting.
Surely you can admit there's a huge difference between being tied at 10 at halftime and bring down 17-7. That's certainly not to say we would have won, but Jones left Peterman in there just long enough to ensure we had no shot.
Ya peterman should have gotten the hook a lot sooner. It's questionable that he even started at all.
But having the ball deep in Florida territory and wanting to do nothing more than center the ball and kick a FG to tie the game in the FIRST half is stupid. Did you think it was going to end 10-10? You think we're gonna rattle off three more pick sixes? You think we can sustain drives? You've already got the thing at the 30, try to score.
Jesus.
Assuming the second half played out the same (which obviously it wouldn't have) a 10-10 halftime score has us trailing 24-20 with 10 minutes to play. I like that scenario better than 31-17. Just saying, sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
