First off, I'm extremely happy we got the win. We played lights out for 3 quarters and then as poorly as possible for the last 15-17 minutes.

But my question is why didn't we just take a knee on the last drive when we took over with 1:59 left? Serious question...do our coaches really not know that if you have a first down with 2 minutes left that you can just take a knee? Because I knew that when I was about 7 years old. You don't have to run a real play. Just do the math. With the way the game was going, I have no earthly idea why we were tempting fate any more by running it. To me, that was incredibly sad to see. We either honestly didn't know that, which is inexcusable, or we just decided to run it anyway, which is inexcusable.

Glad to see us win, though. Happy for the team.
