This loss is solely on Slater Zellers and Charlie Ragle. Stupidly not taking the ball first with the momentum didnt help but those 2 need to be told personally that they lost this game.
I don't think any loss is every solely on an individual or two because there are always a thousand other moments where a player could have made a play to change the course of the game. Not making a critical mistake could of course swing a game, but the loss is on everyone.
Also, I'm taking this opportunity to remind everyone that these are real humans we're watching (including a 20-something kid) who sometimes read this. Criticism is always fair, but just a reminder to keep it reasonable.
That reasoning is spot on. I do think I'm keeping it reasonable unlike that Lars Thiemann outburst (man that guy just gets my blood boiling) but its good to get that reminder out. However I think the weight of what Zellers did does warrant it, because he had 3 terrible long snaps today, only 1 of which cost us but did cost us in terms of score and couldve costed us further.
