Maybe, but I'm excited. We're going to be back with another good draft, health, and a good FA move or two. Bring on training camp!

Here’s the thing... Williams was trying to avoid getting there too early and being flagged for PI. Don’t blame Williams, blame how stupid the rules are now that a safety can’t even hit a damn WR and they have to purposely whiff on a tackle to avoid the flag.

All he had to do was wait for Diggs to catch the ball and grab him, he just dived through mid air. No excuse for it, he messed up and lost us the game.

I agree, even if Diggs makes the catch; wrap up and drive him backwards. Even if he goes out of bounds the clock would still keep running and game was over.

As bad as the refs were all game, I doubt they would of thrown a flag there. Heck, even if he was afraid of a targeting flag it would of only been 15 yards and they would of been right around mid field with 4 seconds left. Can't be afraid to make a play there.

With a stopped clock!

Tackle the WR and the clock runs out before they can kick the FG!

I agree, he should of just wrapped him up but if he was afraid of a targeting that call doesn't give them a game winning TD and they wouldn't of been in FG range with only 15 yards. Obviously the smart play was wrap up and drive him backwards. That ends the game.

You don't avoid PI by ducking your head and shoulder tackling. Great teaching tape to show exactly why you keep your head up and drive through the ball. Grrrr......
