The two failed third-down gambles were forced by them. And we could have called time out as soon as the coaches saw two guys lined up onside for a punt into the wind, but that's easy to say now. I bet that will be a point of emphasis this week.
I think the TV graphic was wrong on the third and one early in the third quarter. Looked to me like it was closer to one and a half than one. Harris appeared to gain a full yard on the play, but it's asking a lot to get more than that with a QB keeper on a third-and-short. Maybe the spotters were using the TSN broadcast to relay the distance to the bench, or maybe we're seeing more failed third-and-short gambles because there are fewer measurements by the refs.
