Yep, D. Murray could have put that game on ice early, but he fumbled it away. That was a stinking catch, no question, but the worst rule in the game (which is worded in even more assanine fashion now) cost them a chance at redemption for Murray's screw up.
To be honest though, the play everyone talks about in the game against the blue kittens, should have had a penalty on the intended receiver (illegal hands to the face) before any other penalty occurred so the kittens got served what they earned - just like the football gods did their weak sauce punter for his flop job earlier in the game - act like a punk and the football gods will punk you with a ten yard shank job....
