The reason I put more of it on the defense is because our shot at a first round bye was lost when the defense did the same thing in AZ.
Our offense fails to put the game away (in AZ we blew it because we didn't run it and against PIT we blew it because we DID run it), their QB (Palmer/Ben) hits the obvious WR (Fitzgerald/Brown) multiple times to go down the field, we commit enough penalties to get them in FG range, they kick the FG, game over, we shoulda won blah blah blah. Maybe if the defense did this exact thing 3 times during the 2015 season we'd finally see the pattern? Oh well, see ya in hell Hill. Good luck winning anything with that crappy Patriots franchise!
The fumble did suck, but I've never understood blaming losses on 1 play. If Mac doesn't kill 3 drives with 3 fumbles or have 2 turnovers that led to 6 points for the Shitstains, maybe we still win. Maybe if Burfict and Pacman don't lose composure, we still win. It's never just 1 play, and pinning it all on Hill is kinda silly IMO.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
