One major gripe, though, on the deep ball to Santana, that eventually lead to the FG, why does he not even try to stay in bounds? He's 2 steps behind the nearest defend and just lets his momentum carry him out of bounds. I'm not saying he could have stayed in or would have scored, but he made no attempt at all. It irritated me a little bit.

Look at the replay - Donovan's throw led Moss to the sideline. His first job is to catch it cleanly and get two feet down. Perhaps if the throw was delivered more upfield, Moss would've had more room to stay inbounds. That was a huge 3rd down conversion that started the comeback, so I have no problem with Moss on that play.
