There were at least 2 drops by Dressler in that stretch that would have converted on 2nd down. The first one was a tougher catch, but the second one he had it in his hands, down on his knees and it just popped out. He squeezes even one of those 2 catches and it's a different ball game.
I know that any given play can go any number of ways to affect the outcome of the game, and there are no guarantees, but those 2 plays struck me as somewhat critical at the time.
