They both deserve blame!
and lions are picking chargers apart... this loss hurts.... BAD BAD BAD
AGAIN if BOWE DOESN'T DROP IT one pick doesn't HAPPEN. Not everything is the qbs fault. When he throws a ball right to a WR in the endzone that drive should be over. It's Bowes fault that we even had to run anther play that drive. That is just something that can't be argued. Bowes drop hurt more then anything Orton did.
Its the shoulda, woulda, coulda game. Bowe dropped a crucial TD. A game changer. But I agree Orton threw a nasty int. Both are responsible but bowe, moreso
Personally, I dont think dropping a pass (TD or not) is anywhere near as bad of a mistake as throwing an INT, especially one where the pass should never have been made or was thrown poorly.
Its one thing if the defender made an amazing play on the ball.
Thats just my opinion though.
It's not giving Orton a pass it's stating a fact. If Bowe doesn't drop the ball Orton is not on the field to throw the pick. THAT IS A FACT unless you think we would have gone for 2 or Orton would have kicked the PAT if Bowe catches that ball Orton doesn't throw the pick therefore he is more to blame then Orton. It's not rocket science people always ignore the drops and talk about how bad the qb played. Well when your so called number 1 WRs drops td passes what do you really expect the QB to do?
