You start out great with a 3 and out on D, and score a TD. Kick the ball out of the stinking EZ. Wasted momentum and confidence.
Then at various times during the game there was a failure to pause and regroup.
One of the worst things was hearing Odom say at the end of the 1st half that it was going to be close at the end. It came across as an expectation of failure, that we wouldn't put them away, in spite of dominating the 1st half.
That kind of talk never belongs on the tongue of the head coach, much less live on tv. That scared attitude, is, imo, what lost the game. Even more of a negative impact than the rain.
