#1...PLAYCALLING.
Dan Henning clearly needs at a minimum, a good chewing from WVDolphan. At the most he could use a shovel across the back of his head.
First we had the QB sneak on 2nd and long around midfield....WTF WAS THAT???
Second, the absolute refusal to attempt scoring a TD on the drive that resulted in our 2nd FG. WTF WAS THAT?????
The other problems I had was the insistancy on going wildcat in really dumb situations. The one where we fortunately scored a TD to Bess on 3rd down comes to mind. Here we are with Pennington lighting them up all the way down the field, and he goes wildcat on 2nd down when not only had the formation not had any success all day, but Ronnie was doing absolutely NOTHING all day, especially out of the wildcat. In fact the only success that play really had was the handoff to Ricky. Still, my point being, just keep throwing the ball. Here is a lock down run D that was killing us all day long, and a D that was riddled by the pass last week, was missing a starter in the secondary, and Pennington had just moved it down the field on them and was in rhythm. Stupid call.
Now I know we dont have Reggie Wayne, Manning, and Harrison, but we shouldve emphasized the passing game more today and really went after them through the air.
The other call I can remember being signifigantly STUPID was the one I just witnessed on 3rd down. Why did he go wildcat again on 3rd and 10 even though it was a different play with a handoff to Cobbs on an end around. Again, not only do we need to score being down 2 TDs, but time is of the essence and we had ZERO success running all day. Just throw it dude. Plus we wound up burning a TO going into 4th down. Stupid call.
Culprit #2......
Chad Pennington. Overall he played OK, but that HUGE mistake with the INT to Suggs was a back breaker. I cant get on him too hard, simply because he has played so well for us all year and he did play so so in todays game. But, that was a HUGE error that mightve cost us this game.
Culprit #3.......
The DL. They just got straight up BULLIED starting in that 3rd Qtr and it lead to the big TD drives that Baltimore got. Basically we got owned up front today. Dissapointing to see. Solails sorry *** couldve actually helped today with Ferguson getting dinged.
And finally, havent we seen by now that Ted Ginn is EXPLOSIVE on kick returns. WTF is Sparano still doing letting Bess return punts? Not only is Ginn a game changer, Bess more or less blows at returning. He makes very poor decisions out there.
Thats all for now, and I hate to dissappoint the people who figured they would open this up and see me bashing Ronnie for not contributing much today, but hey where was he gonna run??? There just wasnt anything there for our RBs all day.
OH man, they just dumped the gatorade bucket on Scam Cameron. Makes this all worse. Cam blows. Id like to punch him in his face right now.
And why dosent BP get a bra on and get off his fat *** and get down there and coach the team. Stop half assing it dude. If you want to go to the horse racing track and other stuff like that, then go. Just go and dont be a part time employee. Get down there and coach the team yourself. Sparano is not doing terrible, but BP could clearly do better. I like the attitude Sparano brings to the team. But, he is a really good OL coach and certainly isnt on the level of BP as a HC. Im not saying he blows, dont get me wrong. He just isnt BP.
