i was at this game sitting in the endzone right where wanny threw it 3 straight. worst time ive ever had at a game. i was tanutning those jerks with my fins flag all game long when ricky was running wild on them and pornstache goes and does that. makes me sick to my stomach. dont forget the out of bounds kickoff by mare...
Also, don't forget that Chambers DROPPED one of those 3 straight that would have given us the 1st down.
Ricky was getting stuffed the last couple of series. In hindsight, sure, it was horrible playcalling. But I know FOR YEARS many fans were complaining that we lost games or let teams get back in due to conservative playcalling. Many kept saying under Wanny we should have passed more to close out games. I mean why did NE get back in it in the 1st place? Becuase our defense faultered and our rushing attack was very minimal in the 2nd half or atleast in the 4th quarter.
So looking at it I bet our OC and Wanny felt they had to do something, and do it quick to close out the game. Rushing wasn't it.
I am not saying they made the right call, obviously they didn't. But we can't have it both ways. We can't complain how conservative he was and he let teams back in the games, and then complain that he wasn't conservative enough and it lost us the game.
Simple if the defense makes a stop we win that game. If Mark Royals doesn't shank a 2 punts we win that game. If Mare doesn't kick one out of bounds we win that game. If Chambers holds on to an almost perfectly thrown ball, we win that game.
I find it funny people STILL wanna blame Fiedler or Wanny for that loss.
Question... Does the TB Superbowl defense make a stop? They had just as bad an offense
Does the SB Raven defense make that stop? Had just as bad an offense.
Once again, I don't think I have ever heard Lewis say "I was waiting for someone else to make a play"
