This is correct. A single play does not make or break the game. It can change the momentum, but how many other drives did not end is a score? It takes 4 quarters to lose a game.

I disagree. Completely. Games are about making big plays. You do not have the luxury of having big plays taken away from you in a close game. In the first quarter, sure that is less injurious to your chances than a bad call in the fourth quarter, but on your last possession a bad call can reverse the outcome.
