Brian Billick: For incorrectly calling #12 on the Redskins Kelly Malcolm all fricking day.

The defense completely let down in the First Half. They not only bent, but broke. Blache was able to make adjustments for the Second Half, but the damage was done. And the 85 yard TD drive in the middle of the 4th quarter was the nail in the coffin.

It wasn't just Moss...this team still hasn't figured out to get beyond the sticks on 3rd down to convert. Portis got 6 on 3rd and 7. Moss got 9 on 3rd and 10. Cooley got 12 on 3rd and 13.

The final play. 8 seconds left, one of the 3 who touched it could have gotten out of bounds with 1-2 seconds left for another shot downfield. Zorn got too fancy calling a hook and ladder when the Lions gave them a cushion to get 2 plays done in those 8 seconds.
