[quote author=leftcoast link=topic=15420.msg167410#msg167410 date=1470753992]Well, their defense was good enough to beat US last year - 38-36.

How many unforced errors did we have in that game? I remember at least two fumbled snaps that the Ducks recovered, which is super lucky for them. We only punted once all game, though we did attempt 4 FGs (missing one). I suppose that's the defense doing just enough, but IIRC if either one of those fumbled snaps either didn't happen or we recovered, we probably win the game. That was so infuriating.

The defense was apparently copying our signals or yelling out false cadences, iirc.  Refs could have called that penalty if they wanted to...but they didn't.  I'm peeved that they didn't the second time around.
