00:00 And we made it really hard on ourselves so
00:04 many times in this game with the calls that were made.
00:07 And I'm not disputing any of them, I'm just saying that we made the penalties that
00:11 happened were just out of line for us.
00:15 And we have not been good in that area during the season in general, and
00:20 today really blew up on us.
00:22 And we gave them a really good chance to take advantage of it, and they did.
00:25 And found out that they could get their drive together and
00:29 get what they needed before the field goal drive.
00:32 But there was big penalties in that one, and then we did it again in the final
00:36 drive too.
00:37 So I'm really disappointed because it feels like we did that to ourselves.
00:40 And we talked so much about that.
00:43 We were trying to make sure that that's not part of our game, and
00:46 shoot it was a big part of the game I thought.
00:48 Nice job by them to finish it.
00:51 They did a good job to do what they had to do with the clock and all that.
00:53 But they gave us a chance, and
00:55 Gina was able to pop back out there to a couple great balls to give us a shot.
00:59 And then we just didn't hit our field goal away again.
01:01 That's kind of what the NFL is.
01:03 You have those opportunities, you create those, and then you gotta try to make it.
01:07 And unfortunately, you're not gonna make them all.
01:10 Last week was our game, this week was their game.
01:12 And so it's really important that we turn it around and bounce back.
01:17 We come back Thursday, and we have a big game coming up.
01:22 We'll have to really handle this well and get our act together,
01:25 make sure we play a great football game because we're in control of what we do.
01:29 We have to win the next week's game to put us in a good position.
01:32 And so that wouldn't have changed it either way, but
01:35 it just makes it a little more pressing than this time.
