Shoving the ball down their throats early: idiotic trick play call that loses 8 yards.

3rd-and-goal at the five: draw play.

Those right there likely took at least 11 points off the board alone. Add another 4 points because DHB can't catch for shit.

The failures in the red zone have always been about the play calling.
