How did we lose this game? ? ?

Ginn is not the reason we lost this game. He might be the reason that we didn’t win the game….but poor coverage, crappy tackling, and conservative play calling (settling for FGs inside the 30 instead of being aggressive and going for the kill/win) when we had the opportunities for many more points and to grind the clock even more are the real reasons we lost the game!!

CP and Ginn are not the scapegoats for this week. We should never have been in that position to have to drive the 80+ yards in 3 minutes to win. Honestly if we were aggressive the score should have been more like 31-21 in our favor.

You say a QB that can score anytime, any place….who has one of those? The Patriots aren’t scoring points with Mr America Tom Brady. The Colts only scored 2 TDs last week against the JAGS. Romo is struggling…..Aaron Rodgers isn’t setting offensive records like people thought after preseason, so who does that really leave? Honestly there is one QB that fits that bill….Drew Brees. Pennington didn’t lose this game for us and it isn’t fair to think he did. Strong arms….have been a dime a dozen over the years, Russell for the Raiders has a canon but I don’t want him. Jeff George had arguably one of the strongest arms in his time and I damn sure didn’t want him. Jeff Blake….no thanks, I would take CP over any of them because he rarely makes the mistakes. That means the coaches know what they have to do to win…..and the coaches didn’t do that this week! We had no defensive scheme and we went prevent offense once we got inside the 30 yard line.

You are right about some things…and then others I don’t agree with. Wilson should have made that interception, but if we had been aggressive offensively instead of “settling for a FG” and leaving Mr. Manning 45 seconds and a time out, we might have made a first down…OR MORE if you really want to try to win, and Manning wouldn’t have gotten the ball back in the first half. That alone would have kept the score at either 13-10 or 17-10. Same thing in the second half, be more aggressive when you are at their end of the field instead of running the ball to set up the FG in the “perfect position” and we might have a had a lot more points. DC$ missed a 49 yard FG, give the guy a break. He made 3 out of 4 from 40 + yards, that’s a good enough night for me from my perspective. If the offense was more aggressive maybe he is kicking from 35 yards and closer or maybe he doesn’t even attempt them because we score TDs instead. (Novel concept I know)

Ginn…..not a bad night, but I agree, the guy falls down after he makes every catch it seems, how about giving us some YACs Ted?? Yes, the O line was much better than last week and true if we had a real number one that could make a defense play them honestly I am sure we would have had a better game running the ball.

Pat White…….give the guy more than one play every now and then to see what he can do. I think they are just letting him get to see the speed of a real game time defense so he can learn from it. I suspect that pretty soon they will have him do the wildcat for a complete series which would allow him more options than just one play evern 4 series or so. Just think then he could run the ball himself, hand it off to R & R, and throw the ball in the same series. That would force the defense to really try and figure the wildcat out.

Agree on the inside LB. Crowder is just not athletic enough and with the safety play struggling like it is, that makes the LB position even more important.
