I don't blame this on the coaches.
Luck and Doyle, they lost the game with stupid turnovers, first and last possession.
You can complain about the D, but they give you a turnover on the second play of the game and ball inside the 10 with a chance to go up 7-0 and all the momentum early. Luck killed that, HORRIBLE decision. Doyle had two guys on him. He wasn't catching that ball even if it wasn't intercepted.
Last possession, Doyle freakin' fumbles, awful play. Hold onto the damn ball. Cost them the game. Should have still won even down in the 4th quarter, they were going to score with 4 downs to work with.
Coaching decisions to criticize? Sure. Is the D great? No, we knew that. But they played well enough to win the game and gave Luck the ball with a chance to win. And that's his job. And Reich was calling great plays on the last drive.
Doyle and Luck blew it.
