The one thing that eats away at me which I think a bunch of people overlooked. The Pass to Cooley on 3rd and 7. He clearly got within a yard of the first down, but they gave a horrible spot. Now I understand if you don't want to challenge becuase you might risk a timeout. But why in the World do you call a Timeout instead of Challenge? Make no sense in the World. You might get the extra yard and a free timeout. What is the worst that will happen you lose a timeout, well you just freakin called one instead. Absolutely morronic, that just make me wonder what in the world is going on.
I'm not questioning the play calling or game plan because I thought it was great, we just didn't execute in critical situations.
Also second straight time Thrash gets called for Garabge that could have changed a game.

I mentioned the Cooley spot on an earlier thread. It should have been 4th and about half a yard instead of 4th and 1 1/2. I totally agree that Gibbs and our 20 other coaches screwed up that none of them saw fit to push for a challenge. This referee crew was perhaps the worst we saw all season. They missed obvious calls both ways (Bubba Franks should have had a TD with a force out after the Portis fumble).
