Speaking of that one particular blunder, you've all heard the old adage "The first game help sets the tone for the rest of the season"? We blow a 20-7 first half lead to only lose the game in OT. It's eerie considering 4 out of our 5 losses have about the same blueprint.

Maybe far-fetched & idiotic, but do you think Colston is taking too much personal responsibility for this season's failures based on that play? When self-doubt starts rattling around in your noggin, it does affect performance.

Or I could just be a moron who is thinking waaay too much into this.

I don't think its a moronic idea at all

Self doubt can manifest itself in many different ways, a sports player with self doubt will not make that all important catch because they are worried about screwing up

Maybe week 1 fumble and not being targeted at all in Week 2 has shaken his confidence, Colston was never one to voice his opinions.
