He didn't cave.  Open your eyes,  when you are one play from the Super Bowl.  You try the same thing that got you there...Don't try to fool yourself.

I disagree. You don't try to do the same thing, you get better because of all the other teams are doing the same thing. We knew what we had in QB and we all tried to make ourselves think we could get by with him. We doubled down on an inferior QB (not inferior person or talent, because Blake's a good guy and has some talent, just not what it takes to be an NFL QB) and now we are paying the price. Sure the injuries hurt us tremendously and if that didn't happen to the severity, we probably would be in a much better situation. But we wouldn't make it back or past where we were last year. We got lucky last year. TC is as much to blame for where we are as anyone and he needs to own up to it and make it better. We all still have faith in him, but he has put this team in a difficult situation. He's the #2 man and holds the #2 power.
