Now that Ive calmed down here's what I saw today.

Harrington was pretty awful until the last few minutes when the Jets were in a prevent. He missed some key third down passes and on the last drive I dont know whether it was him or the coaching staff but there was no sense of urgency to get down the field quick. The INT to McMichael was probabley the worst pass I've seen all year-we had points on that drive.

Ronnie is a stud

The line and Wr's played decent. They opened holes for Ronnie and he finally had lanes. The Wr's played good, I like Chambers, Hagen, and Welker as our 1,2,3. We could trade Booker for picks or a player next year.

Defense was excellent again except for Tillman. He absolutly needs to be replaced. He had two penalties, didnt give good help on the long Coles TD and had horrible coverage on the first (i think it was him)

Mularky called his best game of the season.

Worst decision of the game...Fourth and goal from the 1 or 2 and we kick a field goal. Not a good decision with an offense that was inable to get in the red zone throughout the game until the last nine minutes.
 
I forgot Sammy Morris' play. Awful. A fumble and a key penalty-Both of those might have cost us the game.

I'm with you on Harrington being dissapointing although he stepped up pretty big in the 4th Quarter.

The Mularkey calling a good game comment lost me big time.
Not in my book, not by a long shot.
 
I only say that because he called about 25 runs for Ronnie, which is something we have rarely seen all year.
 
I've been sticking up for the coaches so far but this loss is on them IMO. First off on third and 2 and on fourth and inches we call running plays that start three yards behind the line of scrimmage. The first was a pitch to morris on 3rd and 3 in a big spot. We pitch it back 3 yards and it really turns a 3rd and 2 into a 3rd and 5. Then we go for it on 4th down (i liked the decision to go for it) but we do a handoff where ronnie gets it 2 yards deep. Why drop back and hand it off...shouldve done a qb sneak or a quicker run play.

Finally, on 3rd and 2 on the very last drive we rushed the play off. There were about 32 seconds on the clock and we had a timeout. We should have absolutely called a timeout there to talk the play over. If you get the first and cant get out of bounds you spike the ball. That timeout was pretty much wasted and we rushed the play and harrington had no one open.
 
Listen people It always has been and always will be on the coaches. We have the talent. We have NO discpline. That is the coachs fault period. From top to bottom

He really was horrible today, I hope he's just extremely rusty. Once Ricky is back next year *knock on wood* we need to let Morris go....and I've been a big Morris supporter, but another day like today and he's done.

Guess you missed the Buffalo game when Culpepper threw it to two defenders with no receivers around.
