How about Marshall actually making something of an effort to make the catch instead of giving it a half-hearted attempt? Or about Marshall not dropping the pass right to him on the play before? Or how about Ronnie dropping a perfectly led pass that would have converted a 3rd and 3? And how about the pass that Henne dropped in over Ray Lewis in the first half? That was a perfect throw. And how about several great throws to Hartline?
Today's loss is mostly on the defense. They did not the stop the Ravens once all day. Not one forced punt. They said they didn't want to let Ray Rice beat them, but he torched them. And why does Ronnie finish with 59 yards on 9 carries? Why 9 carries? That is ridiculous from Henning.
Why do we keep deferring on the opening kick? We have yet to score on the first drive of the second half this season. Henning makes no halftime adjustments. This strategy of always deferring has not worked once for us. And the last two weeks, we have allowed opening drive TDs to two teams had not had an opeing drive TD all year. If you win the flip, take the damn ball, because the other strategy is not working.
