I'll take the blame. I never got around to burning that sage.
If you want a serious answer, I blame the players. The coaches coach. And we have really good coaches. I don't know how many times I have to hear Fisher, Williams and Schotty say, (almost verbatim) "We don't call plays that fail, and when we run these plays in practice they work." Execution failures across the board were the culprit, and the players have to be held accountable for that. That doesn't mean I absolve the coaches, but I don't put as much blame on them as the players. Situational play-calling was pretty good, but it only takes one or two execution failures to blow it all up. This is a young team and they're prone to making mistakes, and there are some weaknesses on the team that are getting exposed. I'll blame the coaches *more* if we show up like a bunch of keystone cops again this weekend.
Let the record show that I burned my damn sage.
I agree 100% with what you said.
