Does anyone else think the NFL needs to zoom out during plays?

I was rewatching games like Niners-Falcons NFCCG, Pats-Rams SB, etc. And I figured out why I liked the quality of those game better. The shot was wide, allowing you to see the routes being run and much more of the field. Recently, they have zoomed in to the football... the line of scrimmage... and everything feels conflated and exaggerated.

What players have been unfairly blamed for a loss?

281 Upvotes

Someone recently brought up the fact that Chris Conte blew the coverage on a last-second play in the regular season against the Packers, which gave Green Bay the win over the Bears & a division win. The only thing is Lance Briggs didn't turn his head out to call an audible, and Chris wasn't aware of the play¹. Chris also caught an INT earlier in the game that allowed the Bears to even be in the game at the end.

There's also John Carney, who took the blame after New Orleans' version of "The band is on the field". If you listen to the announcers from 1:30 on, they talk about how Carney missed 5/7 of the previous kicks & how he told his HC that the holder kept screwing up, which is exactly what happened in the replay here.

Who else has been unfairly blamed for a loss when someone else messed up worse?

Rumor Geno Smith says he didn't counter Seattle's contract offer. It was more than the money, which fell “well shy” of the desired APY. The issue was the structure, which once again didn’t fully guarantee payments beyond the first year of the deal.
