BL was expected to make a play there and didn't. Not his fault the the ball was intercepted more than he simply failed, again, to do what he was supposed to do. It is a common theme.

Maybe not the thread for it but your post reminded me... JC throws one of the nicest deep balls I've seen in a long time. He's got work to do obviously but his accuracy from beyond 20 yards is really special.
