Sanders said he took responsibility when he had a bad game against Detroit this year, but others aren't willing to do the same. I wish other players would come out and say, 'It's not Norv's fault. Some guys took advantage of him. Others players admitted their contribution to Turner's demise in a season that began with Super Bowl aspirations. They probably need to win their last three to make the playoffs.
Players feel like they've let a coach down.
I feel bad for the coach. I didn't hold my end of it up. Kickers were the first thing on Turner's mind when he gave his farewell speech. In each of the last three losses, a kicker has missed a vital field goal in the closing minutes. The difference between winning and losing is not very big in this league.
