But I would say the offensive series that lost us the game was right before half our defense stopped the Saints. The first time other than the interception and our offense went 3 and out, gave the Saints the ball back with over 3 minutes left in which the Saints scored a field goal.

Before that series started I said we either have to score or waste time on the clock but by no means should we go 3 and out. I said 3 and out will kill us right here and it unfortunately happened and did

I didn't read the whole thing. I stopped reading because I got the sense it was an article bashing Mike Smith and saying we will never win with him and I don't buy that for 1 second.

EDIT: Just went back and finished reading the article and I gather that it's an article bashing Smith for not going for 2 and how it effected the rest of the game. How you gather that it's an article saying opposite I don't know.
