A bright spot

It's been so nice to see a viable return threat back there. Fredericks and Warren look like roster keepers. I like our receiving core and I still don't think we need to fine a "true number 1" receiver. If by some chance Colston isn't here next year, I think we'll be just fine with Still anchoring it down... and hopefully Toon continues to build on what he's done. Let's face it... we spread the ball around so much, I don't see the point. Stills and Cooks are more than capable of being consistent 80/1000 guys if we choose to utilize them in that manner.

Honestly, and I almost can't believe I'm saying this, whatever is going on with Colston this year worries me a lot more than anything about the younger guys at WR. What the hell happened to him this season? I don't think it's a stretch to say his drops cost us at least 2 games and maybe more.

Colston led the way with a team-high six catches on 10 targets for 80 yards. Stills finished as the team's second leading receiving, posting six catches for 68 yards on eight targets. Toon cracked the 40-yard mark again with three catches for 44 yards in a 30-14 defeat.

Graham who recently set a career high drop count against the panthers, dropped yet another big third down conversion against the falcons to help set the tone early. Then the terrible TD call, but still was a fumble no matter. And in arguably the biggest game this season, Colston led all recievers. So many reasons this offense isn't clicking, but lack of protection ranks highest on my list.

One bad year. Give him a break....he's earned it.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
