Howell was doing a good job picking us apart. But we started getting pressure by sending 1-3 extra almost every down that series and we get them in a bad situation. Our secondary pretty much was pathetic tonight, so on 4th and 17, we go with four. I know that is what most coaches would do but the way things were unfolding, the only way we were effectively shutting Howell down was getting to him. We gave him a free pass on that 4th down play and we got nowhere near him.

There were a lot of issues in this game but we were in a position to win and called off the dogs on fourth down. Just a horrible call IMHO.
