Stevie's dropped pass in the end zone against the Steelers was last season's (God forgive me) "wide right." Stevie catches that pass, we beat (and I mean MF BEAT) the Steelers and I would bet my grandma's dentures we win 5 out of the last 6 games instead of 2. That would have been a HUGE win. That's not dumping the season on Stevie, that's yet another "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory" that the team has been accustomed to for lo these many years.
I agree with your post points above, BTW. It's a team game but somewhere along the line, when the game is on the line, someone is going to have to step up and find a way to effing WIN it instead of the goddam plethora of highlight reel moments we find to lose it.
