There is some fault on the system (because it's new, so they're likely still overthinking plays since it hasn't become second nature) but I personally saw Wideman make no less than 5 boneheaded mistake all by himself per game.
If he can't own even part of his bad play, then he might as well make sure he chose a comfortable chair for the press box.

Mistakes like that can happen to any team on any night by any player. The issue here is that it was multiple mistakes of this nature in the same game and I tend to blame the defensemen more than the system on this particular night. Wideman has always been a little frosty with the media so I would take anything he says to guys like Francis with a grain of salt.
