Sam took responsibility for the loss. Stand up kind of guy. But there was plenty of responsibility to go around. Starting with Dave. I agree that his press conference was really strange. Yes we were missing some players, but that is all the more reason to make some changes after we went up 21 points. There was no way we could defend the deep ball with the players we had. So might as well try pressure. If we allow Howell time they will complete the deep ball. Might as well blitz. Really bad play calling all of the 4th quarter. Misdirection might have worked. Try something different. Just an epic failure on defense and coaching.
