    add to that not fielding the squib punt that was downed at the one. Had to pick our poison on that one. if the punt had not been from the endzone, it would not have been returned for a TD.

    Exactly. Blaming it on the punt return misses all of that.

There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”
