Not saying Burfict and Jones are blameless (they're clearly not), but I don't think really works out with the Dalton thing you mentioned.

At that point you're projecting the results of 4 games in "what if" mode. That's a whole lot of projecting, a full fourth of a season without knowing how it'd go.

Hill not fumbling is a clear and immediate thing. If he doesn't fumble, they win. There's no real mystery involved.

Are Burfict and Jones culpable? Certainly. Did Hill get shaded from most of the criticism he'd have (justifiably) gotten due to the fiasco that happened right after? Absolutely.
