The team had the ball on the 13 yard line and came away with nothing, Cribbs fails to down the ball inside the 5, Evan Moore half asses it on a TD pass by trying to one hand it, the offensive line plays like ****, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Don't disagree with what you wrote, but probably every NFL game can rise or fall on one key play and I'm not going to blame the team for a screwup that should have never, ever happened.
On the punt downing, Cribbs blew it when he slowed down as the ball was still bouncing; he should have been speeding up the whole time towards the ball. Even if it had bounced backwards, the "worst" position would have been the 5 yard line or so; still deep in the hole. It's like they were trying to down it on the one and gambled.
By the way, take another look at Moore's so-called one handed attempt and you'll see that the defender has his arm pinned. It's clearly interference, but the ref can't see it because the defender's body is shielding it. Moore didn't dog it, he simply couldn't get his arm free. Wilcots (the announcer) should be publicly reprimanded for suggesting Moore was being lazy on that play. He was wrong.
