“I should never lose my control like that. But these guys have got to do a better job because it’s been years of terrible, terrible missed calls left and right. It’s really pathetic, honestly. But pathetic on me, too, for doing what I did. Call or not, I have to take a step back and just go the next play. But, man, they just seem to not…have their eyes open half the time…Fifteen yards, it’s a big deal,’’ Bosa said via USA Today.
