No player cost us this game! It was that stupid, go slow, take your time, *** play calling on the final drive. That's what you do if your down 3, not freaking 4....
And last year we had a much easier schedule. We came against some of the leagues bigger guns and are getting dirt shoved in our face. We dont have a season full of Kansas Citys and Oaklands to fall back on, nor are we coming out of nowhere like last year.
Our defense makes a stop? We win. Better playcalling? We win. He drops one pass. The first TD throw was Chad's fault.
Nope? Nope? You mean to tell me you don't go for it on 4th and 1? With the way we have been running? Instead you let the Colts get points before halftime like Tony did? Give me a break. Tony cost us the game, not Ginn.
Get a clue. Chad threw down the field to the endzone three times and nobody could make a play. Twice it was Ginn who blew it. Would a real receiver have dropped that pass at the end? I doubt it.
chad henne should be our 2 minute QB if we are behind. Penny doesnt have the arm to move the team quickly
ONE ****ING DROP! He made huge catches, but you're ignoring that fact. Hop off his nuts. Understand, this isn't the season.
Ginn made the catches that a WR in the NFL must catch in order to be on special teams. He had far too many bad plays in this game. There were two times when he ran out of bounds instead of trying for extra yards. There were at least two plays where he just fell after catching the ball over the middle, not trying to break away from tackles. Then there are two balls in the endzone that he should catch and misses. The first may be debatable, as his out stretched hands didn't get on the ball, but he can dive. The one in the fourth quarter in inexcusable, and should get him demoted.
Whatever you say. He had two catches that great WRs would make. Overrated, overhyped. PERIOD. NO MORE ****ING EXCUSES.
One drop? Make that two, in the endzone, and both were the margin of victory plays. How many times does that man have to FAIL before "we" get it?
Ginn missed 2 TDs - the first one in the second quarter where he missed the ball by about a foot after slowing down and failing to lay out. And this one hit him right in the hands. Big time WRs make those grabs, he doesnt. I have a hard time seeing him back on the team next year unless he reeeeeeeally picks it up and makes some bigtime grabs.
It was a hell of a game...it really was. But we're 0-2, and looking down the barrel of 0-3. Ouch. Good night, all.
I dunno why anyone's blaming this loss on anyone but the defense. The offense played a stellar game overall. The defense was a sieve. They can't tackle or cover TEs. Our first two draft picks better be LBs who can cover. First Gonzalez & now Clark.
Uh it was THE DROP. (meaning it meant the game and it was the most important or could've been catch of his career 'til now) In his defense though that shouldve been called PI. The CB had his hands on him WAYYY TOO EARLY. I am sorry gentlemen but we've been had by Vegas once again.
Yep..nope...Ginn is not a player, he is a schmuck, this is not the preseason dude, big time players make big time plays...Ginn doesn't.
There were two drops in the end zone. Two touchdowns 14 points. dropped. If he cant' catch comeback routes he should be working for UPS. Real talented receivers are those that don't leave the game winning ball on the ground.
the secondary lost the game tonight guys not the offense. The D let manning and clark play catch at crucial times. Hopefully they will learn from this and improve. Hopefully.
Ginn is always blamed. Even when it isn't his fault. Hell, Fasano is the reason we're 0-2. He sucked in Atlanta. And he dropped a TD tonight. But no one mentions him.
The first one wasn't his fault, it was overthrown. The second one he could have caught, but from watching the replay he was hit in the arm and the ball reacted accordingly. This game is on the shoulders of the defense and poor clock management of the offense at the end. I seriously haven't seen such a poor 2 minute offense in a very long time.
I don't think so. We can't cover a Tightend to save our life. Shockey isn't a big threat like Gonzalez or Clark.
If this happened, if that happened.... five minutes ago Ted Ginn had a chance to singlehandedly put a win on the board and none of those ifs mattered. He failed and dropped a very catchable ball. Peyton Manning would have no reason to be ashamed had the Colts lost by double digits after the way their defense was manhandled. But he made plays despite those things. That's what real players do. Pay me six or seven figures to go out and drop game winning TDs.
The only thing that makes me happy about this game is that we pretty much man-handled them and would probably beat them by 2 TDs if we played them again right now.
