I've seen all these posts for weeks now. Blame Bevell's playcalling. Blame RW not being "elite" enough to stay in the pocket or make the right throws/reads. Blame the OL for, well it's obvious. Blame Cable because he coaches that project OL. Blame JS because he drafts that DL turned OL. Or blame JS for not keeping Unger/Maxwell that might've changed this outcome - or any other of his overpaying trades, missed draft picks, or players we shouldn't have let go. Blame Kris Richard for not "learning" his DC position fast enough. Blame Kam for his holdout messing up chemistry. Blame the offense for not scoring more in the 4th. Blame the defense for not preventing other teams from scoring in the 4th. Blame Pete because he's the head coach and responsible for everything.
I know it's a forum and everyone has topics that they choose to focus on (not to ignore the rest), but it seems obvious that there is not a single fix-all. Pete says that every time in his Monday show with Brock & Salk, when Brock asks that same bonehead question: "what thing needs to be changed or improved upon?" Pete always responds the same way - it's not a single thing. It's not an easy answer or it would've been fixed. It's a combination of things.
Of course if the defense stops the other team from scoring just once at the end of the last 5 losses and we're 2x SB champs and are at least 4-1 this season. If the offense got a couple more 1st downs at the end of the last 5 losses it would be the same result. And all the other things that go into those factors.
At the end of the day, though one improvement might have spelled the difference between 5-0 and 2-4, there are still so many glaring chinks in our armor and I personally think the blame falls on everyone ... and everyone should feel responsible.
