Don't you hate it when people play the "If this hadn't happened" game?

I love how when a team loses someone always says, "well if it wasn't for that interception the game would have been closer." Or "If they hadn't made that stupid penalty then the score would have been tied at half time" Now I think this is just ridiculous, what about you peeps out there? Frankly i'm sick of this type of excuse, there are penalties for a reason and we all know what the consequenses are and it is in fact part of the game. I mean think about it, no one says, "Man if that quarterback just hadn't thrown those 3 touchdowns we wouldn't have lost." sounds stupid, right? well guess what, it sounds just as stupid to blame penalties or interceptions, or a QB getting sacked or any other what if, cause it ain't what if, if it actually happened. Only thing that counts on these terms is a seriouslly ill call that is way out of line and you can't do anything about it but listen to officials apologize 2 days to late.
