Single biggest cause of loss

I thought the rotation at LT ended up being a poor idea and probably didn't help the offense, although it had nothing to do with the drops and fumbles.

The inability of Clifton to hand off Osi off to Lang led to the Rodger's fumble. They weren't beaten physically on that play; that was a mental error possibly due to the lack of playing together.

They sure invested a lot of time and energy to get Clifton back on the field. No payoff. It was expecting a lot for Clifton to come back and be in playing form after 10 weeks of rehab. Clifton should retire.

I wonder if he will retire. He works so hard to come back, injures his back(?) immediately before his return and has to work some more. Then he makes it back and gets done like a turkey dinner. Is that the way he wants to end an otherwise illustrious career?

That's right, of course. I had that exact play in mind when I wrote the statement but then somehow used the existential negative.

I thought the most continuous line going through the year was Newhouse/Lang/Wells/Sitton/Bulaga and that's what they should have rolled with because it had been a part of a great offense this year. I've been a Clifton guy but I'm not sure a rusty Clifton was a better choice than a healthy Newhouse, especially since Cliffy usually needs a few games to get going. In the end, it ended up being another variable in an equation that was already complicated enough by the events of the previous 2 weeks.

On the other side of the coin, if all else doesn't go blotto and they get out of there, Cliffy's got some work in to get ready for the 9ers front. That played into their decision, no doubt.

Single biggest cause of loss: poor circulation. Oh wait, that is hair loss.
