I Was impressed!!!

CB most definitely contributed to the loss. When he threw that INT I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. That was an extremely bad decision and it cost the team. That being said I thought he did a great job of coming back with the TD to Mitchell. Considering that any momentum we had going completely died on that play, I was pretty impressed with the way he regrouped and didn't lay down. The throw to Mitchell couldn't have been thrown any better if Brady had thrown it. Mitchell made and adjustment on that play because the defense was busted and took off toward the goal-line. Colt saw it and threw a perfect pass. Given the chance I think he'll learn and get better. Of course that's JMO.

Im not sayin he was stellar but to say one man lost the game with everything else that happened is pretty harsh. yeah the sack hurt but its not like the kick was impossible. and like JZ said that is all sumed up to lack of experience.

Let me ask you, IF it had been JC who, rather than running the TD in, tried to hit Kelly behind the 4 defenders there and had either an incomplete, or a INT for a TD, would you be arguing so passionately that the rest of the team should shoulder the blame, or would we have heard the clamor for his being replaced. What if he had thrown two bad interceptions in back to back games.

That is the problem with your defense of Colt, not that the other areas weren't at fault, but that you seem to be arguing for a guy who has not proven anything, and at the same time slam JC for his perceived failings, even though JC has done nothing this preseason to show he has regressed.

Are you saying his constant bashing of JC has made his opinion on other QB's and who's to blame for losses somewhat suspect? :)

LOL, yeah that pretty much sums it up.

Yeah i realize you are right, lets cut this guy NOW so we can move on.

1) our offense scored 24 points, their offense scored 20. Their defense scored 7. I think it is justifiable to say that 7 points could be viewed as the swing in the game. Especially if you add in the fact that if the int had not been thrown, we would have most likely scored at least 3 (giving our offense 27 and theirs 20)).

2) This was the first game where Mason impressed me. He held his own against the first string, and on JC's TD run he had, what I thought was a nice chip block on a penetrating defender. Add that to DT's KR's and I might be going over to the dark side of calling for keeping Mason, and letting Rock go. Mea culpa.

In the words of Hulk Hogan....."Come on over to Masonmania brother." ;)

I respectfully (potentially) disagree. In his postgame comments Colt said that he should have led the receiver more on his pick, as if the problem was that he needs to be more Superman. However, the lesson to be learned was that he never should have thrown that ball to begin with. He has made other comments in which he seems to miss the point of what is going on around him.

Some folks are too arrogant to ever learn. Look at Favre - he still sometimes makes stupid rookie throws. I hope that I am wrong about Colt but he makes few comments which lead me to believe that he has the humility to learn.

You could be right Lotus. I guess there's a fine line between confidence and arrogance. Sometimes these type of things can help one see the difference, hopefully it will with Colt. I would give him more time myself. He really hasn't played alot since he's been here. He doesn't play scared (but he does need to be more cautious) and he is pretty accurate. I'm just not ready to give up on him. I think Zorn can get through to him, Hassleback has seemed pretty arrogant at times too.

You are correct. And I'm not giving up on him, either. I'm "concerned," though.

confidence: I can get the job done well but I'd like to do even better
arrogance: I can get the job done well so get out of my face with your criticism

Understandably. That was a very, very bad decision to throw that ball that went for the INT. He just needs to understand that instead of throwing it better, sometimes it's better to throw it away or not throw it at all. If he doesn't get to that point, he'll never make it as a pro QB.
