Overtime, why are we throwing down the middle?

[mattgilm]

I know that we were not gaining much on the ground but we could have ran the ball every play, even on 4th and short. We would have made it into field goal range. what was the rush? Also Henne was playing ok but why throw under that much pressure? That showed that he needs a lot of work on his decision making. Rookie choking when it really counted. I still think Henne will be good for the fins next year. :up:

Why do we run alot of plays that dont make sense. I'd give Henning one more season, but after that...buh-bye buddy.

Chad is very raw. I'm hoping he'll learn a heap from this season and improves for 2010. If not, he'll just be another John Beck and we'll continue the decade long search for a QB.

I dont even see who the hell was he trowing the ball to. There was absolutely nobody there other than Mike Griff. What was he thinking????

Henne has easily surpassed Beck, hell, he did that after the 1st game. He'll be fine, he just needs some weapons on the outside, and Henning needs to run high percentage plays to allow him avoid 3rd and long. Henning brings in White on 1st down, and he lays a dud, then they expect Henne to pull it out the third downs after they run up the middle for no gain.

He was looking for Bess, it was a tough throw that needed a follow through and he didnt have it so the ball sailed on him.....he should of pumped and stepped to his right to see if Bess was still open if not go down (run) or throw it away and kick the ball. You do not throw picks in OT on your side of the ball.

We were throwing to try and win the game.. Everybody used to ***** about Wanny, including myself, running the ball 3 times and punting.. I would rather go down swinging than play conservative wannyball and losing.

Henne just needs some time to develop and more weapons... maybe next year.

it was 3rd and 6 from our own 27.. there was nothing to say we would have gotten the first down running.. Also on the pass, Bess was open and we probably would have gotten the first down.. but Henne threw a horrible pass right to the defense. he also was not under any pressure when he threw the ball.

After looking at the play the coverage was very good on Ginn and Bess was the correct option to throw to. He made the right choice, it was just a bad throw that got away from him. It happens.

Once Henne learns how to put a little touch on his passes and throws some lob passes he will be great. I remember watching Elway early in his career here in Colorado and he tried to gun every pass. That one pass Henne threw about 25 yards over the middle to Camarillo was beautiful. Henne will get better and hopefully the team can add some better receivers.
