It's kind of ridiculous we lost this game with that many rushing yards. You have to play smart mistake-free football against playoff teams.

+2 turnover differential corrected for the missed kicks, so an even score at the end of regulation was fair. The defense as a whole (particularly interior DL and LB) didn't play well enough to pull it out.
Not to harp on it, but the OT rules really irritate me. People will say "you need to get a stop," but it's systematically unfair to the team that loses the toss. You need 2 positive outcomes in order to win (stop + score), whereas the team that wins the toss only needs 1 positive outcome (TD) to win. It's the most ludicrous setup for extended play in all pro sports. Just think about it:
NBA: each team gets 5 minutes, equal chance at possession
MLB: each team gets 3 outs on an inning by inning basis
Soccer: equal 15 minutes extra periods, followed by 5 penalty shots
NHL: golden goal, but each team has equal chance at possession
