I absolutely believe there is some validity to the notion that the Britt Reid thing has affected the team. The team we saw take the field in the SB was not the same team we watched all year. It was way more than the poor O-line play. The entire team had no energy and no fire. I think it's possible that there is some disconnect between the players and coaches now. The coaches preach to the players constantly to be smart and stay out of trouble that can affect the team. Then one of the coaches goes out and does something incredibly stupid right before the SB. It's not a stretch to think the events of last season and how the SB went could be an issue in the building. The focus and attention to detail just isn't there this year.
