You can absolutely excuse Slocum for Bostick making a split-second decision to not do his job. You cannot excuse Slocum for somehow not correcting Brad Jones after Jones had put enough film on himself out to actually allow another team to run a fake field goal completely predicated on his tendencies. Think about that. It's obvious that at no point did Slocum ever take Brad Jones aside this season and say, "You're selling out on the FG's. It's going to get us burned on a fake. We need to correct this." Things like this are why many of us have long been calling for Slocum's head. It was always possible that it would come down to something like this. And now it did. It cost us a trip to the Super Bowl. We'll never know if we had had something as simple as a different special teams coordinator, if this game would have turned out differently. [/QUOTE]
