Hurts did a lot right in this game, and showed
true grit in going out there and almost getting it done,
but look who executed in the end and who got executed.
Say what you want about Pete Carroll, but his players have his
back and vice versa. Where have we seen this before … the team that has to win does, at the expense of the less desperate, favored guy. In the melee that ensued, Pete pushed the
right bottons, while Siriani picked the wrong time to go deep.
With two timeouts and needing only 10-15 yards for a decent field goal attempt, Jalen threw it up for grabs, something he hadn’t really been able to do all night.
This game hurt the Eagles a lot more than the additional entry in the loss column. Just as with KC, the generalized fear around the league seems to be done.
