YES, it IS squarely on Joes shoulders. Hes the QB, he gets paid the big bucks and if Brady or Peyton or Rogers would have been in the situation more than likely they would have found the open man and put the ball where he could get it.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Joe and wouldn't trade him for anyone (except maybe Rogers) but in the past he had the confidence and so did we that he was gonna pull the game out....this year it doesn't look like he nor the fans expect him to.
I know the defense put us in a hole the last 4 games but we had a chance to get out of it and we didn't. It was put on Joes shoulders and he didn't come thru.
