PANEM ET CIRCENSES
Since when is a fumble recovery not a play to win the game?
You guys, including the coach who pound this "well we should have made the plays to win" are picking and choosing which plays you think we should make. This game is won and lost on turnovers, especially when you have an elite QB who, despite being a gigantic vagina, knows how to win in the clutch. The team DID make a play to win the game - and it was eradicated by an blatantly incorrect call.
It wasn't a fumble in the classic sense. Had the cards forced it, sure, no problem. Cruz brain farted and I don't want to win like that. How about not allowing that completion to begin with? How about picking it off? How about forcing a fumble? THAT's making a play. How about putting Eli on his ass? How about not playing Eason, Holliday, and Schofield to start that drive? How about calling a timeout before the 4th and 2?
That's what I'm pissed about. Not some guy basically heading back to the huddle and the Cards trying to find an asterisk in the rule book. Just win the damn game.
