It's actually hilarious how much heat Burris gets for a complete lack of TEAM effort.
Why is no one talking about an O-Line that literally allowed pressure on every single passing play in the 1st half (with no running lanes either)? And how nobody points out that the Stamps few good drives in the 3rd quarter coincided with the O-Line actually picking up their blocks (along with the Stamps going into max protect formations for some plays)?
Why is no one talking about receivers that got zero separation all day in spite of the fact that Montreal was consistently blitzing and leaving their DBs in man-to-man islands?
Why is no one talking about Reynolds running a brutal, lazy route on that screen pass that was intercepted for a TD? Or him running to the wrong side on play-action fakes at least 4-5 times?
Or the terrible coaching decisions like throwing from your 3 with 25 seconds left in the 1st half with a leaky O-Line that can't risk a holding penalty in the endzone (that'd be a safety)?
I really don't see how much in a guy who's never started a game is going to overcome all that (and I'm a big fan of Tate). No QB in the league would've succeeded the way we played as a team today.
