Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss

1 & 2. Never chase points trying to go for a 2 point conversion when in the lead. Points become valuable. Going for 2 to force overtime is OK but chasing points when in the lead is silly. Kicking the extra point it is almost always guarenteed. Being up by 6 is better than being up by 5.

3. There was still more than 2 minutes left on the clock and we still had 2 time outs. Don't go for it on 4th and long deep in our own territory. Punt the ball and give your defense and special teams an opportunity to get you the ball back with some better field position.

4. Don't pull your top offensive weapon with the game on the line.

I don't understand why we were chasing points either. We go for two and miss it which in turn forces us to go for 2 on the 2nd TD.

I never got the feel that the Lions could drive 80 yards on our defense either. They seemed to always be working with 45-50 yards in front of them. Field position made a huge difference in this game. I think if they had consistently had to drive 80+ yards the defense would've had more sack and more to's.

I still can't understand why you would pull Mcnabb. It's done and over but I think they made a mistake.
