I don't like it when our opponents make excuses and I don't like it when we make excuses.
We had a chance to put that game away and Welker didn't make a (tough) catch that he could have made. Then, we still had a chance to stop them but let Eli complete the pass of his career to Manningham.
But, if we're into making excuses, instead of "Two words," it might be Gisele's "14 words": "My husband cannot ****ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time." Personally, I don't like either and would prefer to just leave it at "They won. We lost."
