Going through it even more, here's some details about what happened yesterday.



1)  Costly turnover (7 points at least)
Roy's fumble gave them 1 of their 2 cheap TDs.

2)  Bad mistakes on offense (28 points)
Burkhead's drop and Kinnie's drops were the worse, but what Niles lacked in quality he more than made up for in quantity.  

3) Poor officiating (14 points+ IMO)
Bad facemask call kept the long TD drive alive.  Horrible missed DPI call with Niles could have resulted in points.  Not out of bounds Kyler Reed, who knows.  Bad DPI on Prince with a ball thrown way over the receiver's head.  There were more, but those were the biggest imo.

Any one of those 3 go away and it's anybody's game.  All 3 go away and it's a rout.  What makes it feel sooooooooo horrible is that this 'miracle' happened against a team that always seems to get this from us.
