To me, yesterday at least, you take the points. You’re playing in a tough environment, on the road, 5,000 miles from home in the land of wiener schnitzel and great pilsner. It’s a tried and true recipe for looking discombobulated.
The fact that you’re down a Corner and an all pro Defensive Tackle was bad enough; but the guy you traded for to elevate the back end of your D to greatness was so new to the team that he only had a day or two to look at the playbook and had to make a Target run in order to have a change of underwear.
Under those conditions, every point was critical.
