This League's A Joke

The fact that we failed to score on the previous drive proves there was no guarantee we would have scored if we got the ball back again.

Therefore you can't say we lost because of that single bad call.

Thread end.

Ha!

So, if a team scores, they're guaranteed to score on their next drive?




There's never any guarantee, but Burrow's great at the two-minute drill, we would have had decent field position, and we should have at least had the chance to tier or win.

End thread.

But there's no way of knowing so it's all moot. The refs screwed that call. Every thing else is conjecture.

Exactly.  

The Jets D would have been tired and Burrow would have carved them up.

I think we can all agree that the Jets wanted it more and had a very nice gameplan that was executed very well. Kudos to them. You can't blow an 11 point lead in the 4th quarter and think you deserve to win. 

On to Cleveland. 

Obviously it means something when you consider it in the bigger aspect, but I'm saying that it has no impact on the way we were playing in the fourth quarter because we responded and were playing well. You can't change the fact that we were flat but you can respond with your play for the rest of the game.
