As our good friend Joe Goodberry proclaimed yesterday: “When you lose, there’s 100 reasons why.”
Football is best when it’s simple, and teams would love to focus on just a couple aspects after a loss to improve upon. This is just never the case, as a 10-point loss likely points to a multitude of in-game issues that contributed to the defeat: ineffective use of personnel, a notable lack of certain personnel, or simply missed opportunities.
With all that said, sometimes you can point to a specific stretch of plays that pretty clearly turned the tides of the game and set it on the course it would ultimately end at.
