While I will mainly agree with you, Collins had the advantage of WIDE OPEN wr's. He did not make any special throws, like forcing them into a spot that wasn't there...he took advantage of good separation. That could be due to a few reasons, 1- Campbell did not comprehend the entire playbook, therefore it was "dumbed down" for him, 2- Collins did know EVERY play, so it was opened up / adjusted for him (more of a 1a and 1b I know). 3- The players were inspired by ST's death.
(about who's fault it was that we lost the playoff game, or who sent us into a downward spiral...I'm not saying that Collins was
the problem...I need to be clear on that. But like how the Red Sox lost the 86 series, it wasn't all buckner's fault, there were several issues that lead up to that, and Buckner became the scapegoat. Suisham has been the scapegoat for that loss in Seattle, when in fact there were several other issues...that was my point...collins had some blame in there too.)
