They still could have won this game with better play-calling. They start a drive outside of 3 minutes left, rip off a few running plays which the Bombers show no signs of stopping, take it into their territory, then try a bunch of passes which go nowhere except for a couple gifted penalties. Sometimes I think Dickenson outsmarts himself, there's nothing wrong with continuing what is working when the opposition has no answer to it.
Anyway, they beat themselves with holding penalties. You can't drive the football when you're trying to get 20 yards instead of 10 all the time.
