Second post in which I've seen someone use the run calls at 9:44 to say Miles was quitting. I can't agree with this. We're down two scores with time left. We moved the ball, got first downs and could have very well set up a big passing play, but the FALSE START made it 2nd and 18 (you left this one off your list for some reason) and all too easy to defend. Two incompletions, then a sack on 4th and 18. If we are giving up there, why didn't we continue to run? Why didn't we punt?

Everyone is entitled to say it was bad play calling, but that possession at 9:44 was not quitting.

I'm not saying he didn't quit on the final possession though. That punt was definitely a give-up.
