It's funny, Hill accounted for 40 yards and a TD in the 4th quarter, and without him there is no come back. But Mac is somehow the hero and Hill is the goat.
Whatevs.
The fumble sucked, no denying, but what really irked me about the playoff loss was the defense letting Ben hit the obvious WR he wanted to hit and march down the field and THEN get enough penalties to make the game-winning FG as attainable as possible for the opponent. The reason I put more of it on the defense is because our shot at a first round bye was lost when the defense did the same thing in AZ.
Our offense fails to put the game away (in AZ we blew it because we didn't run it and against PIT we blew it because we DID run it), their QB (Palmer/Ben) hits the obvious WR (Fitzgerald/Brown) multiple times to go down the field, we commit enough penalties to get them in FG range, they kick the FG, game over, we shoulda won blah blah blah. Maybe if the defense did this exact thing 3 times during the 2015 season we'd finally see the pattern? Oh well, see ya in hell Hill. Good luck winning anything with that crappy Patriots franchise!
