absolutely cannot coached football game last nfl remarkable remember time worked

Add the minus-three giveaway-takeaway, I think there's a very, very strong likelihood that you're going to lose those football games. If you're minus-three giveaway-takeaway, the chances of winning a game are down around 20 percent or something like that. You can't live that way. If you live that way, you're destined for failure.

Our interest is getting back and finishing on a positive note.
