That was a hard game to watch, they did everything to lose that game.
It was similar to the Melbourne and Viera game, every time they got something going, penalty, dropped ball or fumbled snap.
They need to just get out of their own way and clean those mistakes up.
I did see the long list of injuries but, if they get some kids back healthy and clean that up, I still see them making a deep run.
As for the penalty you mentioned, that was just a bad decision by the Kowboy player trying to get a hit on the QB, the Qb was already being tackled by another defender for a stop on 3&6. He led with the crown and made contact, which gave Lake Whales a first down and the very next play took a shot and Purdy scored.
The Kowboy's defense has been better than I expected but every game i have watched they can't get out of their own way with unnecessary penalties.
