He's a major reason we lost, but of course not THE reason. Had the rest of the team played/coached well except for him, sure, the blame would fall squarely on his shoulders. It didn't and it doesn't.

My list of blame yesterday.

1. Oline
2. Petzing
3. Murray
4. Conner

The oline had its worst day ever and Petzing didn’t adjust.

K1 threw a terrible pass for a pick and missed McBride again in the end zone. He was pressured all day which ties back to the oline.

JC was non existent when our run game is supposed to be our bread and butter ( you can tie this again directly to the oline).

So you would prefer him to be more like Tua? The first time he lowers his shoulder & gets seriously hurt on a play you'll be asking why didn't he slide sooner. :shrug:

If he's getting hurt running into 185lb CB's then he should hang up his cleats. Done got steamrolled from behind last week by a 240lb linebacker and popped right back up.

You can't play football based on if you might get hurt or not. You have to way up the importance of the situation against what is facing you. Running at a 185lb cornerback on 4th on 1 and very low odds of injury vs the importance of the down.

That play changed the game and we went from a chance to score 6 to giving 6 away.

This should never be what you want your QB to do ever. Add on top of it K1 is not a big QB and people need to come to grips with that.

This is your dream of what a QB should do not reality in todays NFL.

the killer kyler would've turned around instead of throwing that interception - it could've bought time or provided another rushing lane - but he flinched - and he rushed it

thing is kyler murray doesn't throw many interceptions - and while that particular one was particularly bad and at the worst time - it's still not a huge deal to me

we went 4-0 and had a let down after a bye in someone else's house - ish happens - and while i don't blame petzing for kyler's performance i do think he also sucked yesterday
