If I had to place blame, I would go with Moss. He stopped running. he was the primary receiver on that play. you never give up your route, isn't that the first thing you learn as a WR?? Collins put the ball up for him to make a play. that is what you would expect moss to do, he does it all the time. the fact he didn't see the ball I can take, the fact he stopped running i can't. plus the fact he didn't seem to worried about making a tackle also irkes me bit, but I guess the whole offense kinda let that one go.

Look, it was a bad play. To blame one person on that play is crazy. There were multiple things on that play that was not good. Todd had to make the throw early because the line couldn't protect - moss didn't make a play on the ball - no one on offense seemed to be able to catch the DB. I dont think you can blame the staff either. I think they called a relatively good game. Defensively, not sure why we went conservative on the series after the missed FG because we had been playing good pressure D with a cover 1 / man scheme.

we got beat, a game that we had a lead in the 4th quarter. Suprised..not really. we have blown so many games this year in the same situation. I guess no one saw it coming with the 4 or 5 weeks of stellar play.

good season, not great, but we'll fight our guts our next year.
