I'll back off a little bit on the roy fumble as folks have pointed out, if they hadn't been a sieve on defense it would have helped a bunch.
But imo, his was still the reason it all went sour. They were right there and to assume that 3 running plays would NOT have netted a first down is pure conjecture. They would have been fired up and there is no reason to think they wouldn't have put it into the end zone.
It was a huge colossal cluster imo. It completely deflated the team. Sure the defense should have, but the offense had been putting them in bad situations all day, just another case of them blowing it.
