We don't give two shits about Oakland marching down the field in the final two minutes if the score is 16-6 like it should have been. We utterly dominated that game. The difference in the game was that the offense made two major mistakes in the red zone. That's at least 6 points off the board, and potentially 10.
Does that excuse the defense for being easier to score on late than a thai hooker? No. But execution was a bigger issue elsewhere.

True, but the situation was what it was and because of that, you don't go soft zone.
