re: This loss isn't on Franks.

I think this game solidified something that we all knew, namely that Franks will not be the guy to get us over the top. You can't scheme your way to victory 8 times/yr in this conference, you have to be able to execute against the best of the best.

However, nothing about this loss changes my feelings that

(1) starting Franks this season was the right decision
(2) he has mostly played well, putting us in position to win games no one thought we would
(3) it's dumb, not to mention classless, to bash a player for what you expect him to do in the future before he's actually done it, just so you can say SEE I WAS RIGHT!
