I'm serious when i saw that lost in all the hoopla about various goats this week is the fact that the BIGGEST ****-up was Kevin Dotson and it just wasn't close.
1st down, guy jumps early. 2nd down they pick up 12 yards that should've been a first down, instead it sets up a 3rd and 3.
On 3rd down he is responsible for doubling Jalen Carter. He sees the C pick up Carter and for reasons that completely defy understanding, he turns away to help the RT who has chip help AND clearly has his block under control. And Carter just runs straight up the chute to swallow Stafford hole.
And Stafford had a WIDE OPEN tight end over the middle for the likely TD that gives them the lead. The DB covering the TE (I think Higbee) had fallen down. There isn't an easier pitch/catch in the game had Dotson just not gotten out of the way of the best player on the Eagles defense. If he just comes out of his stance and stands still, that's probably a TD.
I mean he absolutely destroyed that drive. My memory is he gacked a 1st down play there as well.
I've never seen a RG do that kind of damage in such a short period of time.
