That game cost us the playoffs IMO. 17-0 leads at home you don't lose. After the game, Green even said something to the effect of, "Everyone knew we were going to throw that pass. But, we can't audible so I had to throw it." Implying that he adamantly didn't want to run that play, again.

To me that game was the start of the downward spiral. That was one of the most gut wrenching regular season loses.
