There is no such thing as a Moral Victory

Come on you guys. We are the AFC East champions. We are not supposed to be happy with this game last night. I am reading too many posts that we should "not point any fingers" and "our defense played well". First of all, there are very few players I would say played well. Our running game was superb, and just like every analysis on ESPN, we played as well as we could have on offense. But, how many times were we trying for 40 yarders. With those long sustained drives, we need to put the ball in the endzone. You can not beat good teams kicking field goals. Our defense was awful. The only reason it may have not seemed that way to the naked eye, was that we were pretty much never on defense. And when we were, we either forced a 3 and out, which every team in the NFL does every week, or we were giving up long plays for touchdowns. BUT Sean Smith is the next Pat Surtain, ill just throw that out right now, he was great, anyone see Reggie Wayne last night? I didnt.  Back to my rant, my one last thing that bothers me, is that I was watching the game with my Jet friend (yes i have one, and yes it sucks) and during the last drive he kept telling me how good he thought Ted Ginn was. All the while I was explaning to him how hes good for the 10 yard out but just can't make the big play. Well, I know you all watched the game, so I don't have to spoil the ending, but really? Your a professional wide receiver and Chad Pennington delivered a pass that no one thought he could....CATCH THE DAMN BALL. By the way, I am not a CP3 fan, I hated him as a Jet, so its still hard for me to watch him in our uniform, but I thought he played exactly the way we needed him to, to win. And one last thing, sorry. Have we never practiced a 2 min drill before? What was that? 2 run plays to kill the clock til the 2 min warning. Then we try to move the ball? Who called the Pennington dive on 3rd and 2? call a play for bess to catch one on the sideline...preserve more time, and if its incomplete, then do a pennington dive for sure yards. Hope you enjoyed my Rome is Burning minute.
