I do worry about this loss setting the franchise back, it's hard to get ppl to keep coming out to games in the summer we're we stomp these eastern conference teams just to lose to them three months later. Beyond frustrated right now

Henry Burris was analyzing the play after the game and thought that Bo was staring down the receiver wanting the home run. Since there was nobody else going deep on the wide side of the field, the safety was able to get into position for the pick.
This tells me two things: (1) Bo had other (less aggressive) options on the play that Dickenson called, and (2) Bo's execution -- or lack thereof -- resulted in the interception (not only did he throw into double coverage, he also threw a bit of a wobbly duck that didn't quite make it to Michel's outside shoulder, which is where it should have been thrown).
EDIT: Watching Bo's postgame interview, he said he saw the safety and wanted to throw it over the top but didn't get enough into it. I wonder if his shoulder injury was a factor...
