Maybe that's not why we lost, but no one can argue that if we punch that in and go up 24-7, the game -- at the very least -- takes on a completely different personality.
Instead, once they marched 90+ yards to make it 17-14 after our failure on fourth down, the score at that point might as well have been 40-0. The game was over. If you didn't think so, you clearly haven't been paying much attention to either the Bills or the Patriots the last five years.
