I don't think people are out to "blame" anyone per se...I think it's just natural curiousity after such a compelling race, and it's human nature to monday morning QB. I was on CQ, so I consider myself neutral, but as I said, if I had been on Street Sense, I'd certainly rather not have CB looking back...what about you?
Were you really on CQ?
If so, ok. You did the best with what you had.
Do you really think that peek cost SS and CB the race?
I don't.
