You didn't lose the game you just ran out of time?

Then you either tied that game, or the game goes into overtime ============================================== "We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time." That's a comment made once by the legendary football coach, Vince Lombardi. What he meant by it is less clear than is his absolute refusal to accept defeat, and the quote itself might rank alongside many by Yogi Berra, but Lombardi is insisting that his team, the equally legendary Green Bay Packers, led by Bart Starr, was better than the team that just beat them. In a sense, Lombardi is personally shouldering responsibility for the loss and not placing the blame on his players.
