Henne is over, its time to spend the big bucks and recruit a top QB this team will never be anything special, the franchise has tarnished...since the glory years of the early 70's. Glad I went to work today and watched clips here and there while I make money.
I am far from a Heene Hater, but with the way this team is right now he needs to be better to make up for all the crap this team is lacking, while on a good team he would be fine, but not on this team the way they are playing.... That goes for a lot of players on this team...
Another wasted 2nd round pick. Unless you were drafting a future mediocre back up QB with that pick. A bit of a strange strategy. But based on this regimes record with 2nd rounders, doesn't shock me.
Aqua: why does Henne keep losing games for us? He clearly has thrown two interceptions that led the Ravens in gaining momentum. When is Henne going to develop enough so that we can rely on him?
The game is still underway as I write, but the game is over. Henne is not capable of leading his receivers so if they catch the ball they can run with it. Brandon Marshall's expression on the sideline I've seen before. He was upset with Henne's poor pass to him that resulted in Reid's interception and TD.
Not wanting to pile on, but Henne is not the answer at QB.
I've been saying this at the get-go but Henne has been given way too many excuses, his expectations are kept so low that he has no incentive to get any better. He was very average at Michigan so why are we expecting him to be our franchise QB? Let Penny have the rest of the season.

The fact that your happy about your prediction is not good....
A&O--granted Marshall didn't catch it. But where is the ball so that the receiver can catch it while he's running. The ball should meet the player in stride. Henne throws to much at a target. Like a pitcher throwing a high inside pitch to the catcher's glove. Leading the receiver so he can grab it in front of him may allow the receiver to catch and run with it. It also protects the ball from being bobbled and intercepted. Henne, doesn't seem to be able to do that. His toss to Marshall could have been better--a lot better. Even though it hit Marshall in the hands--I don't give Henne and "A" for accuracy, more like a C- or D+ (poor pass). As for Marshall--he needs to catch it; however, I place the majority of the fault on Henne's inability to lead his receivers.

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.
Execution and consistent execution on plays makes good things happen. A great throw is only great when it results in something positive. If Henne actually leads his intended receiver and the receiver doesn't execute (catch it) that's a missed opportunity for a play. Both have to be dialed in to make it happen. It takes "two to tango" as they say.
marshall pass ws overthrown. Time for Thigpen, we are not going to win with henne. He just can't execute in crunch time and misses easy passes to open recivers. We have the worst redzone stats n the league.
Ronnie should have had that third down play.
Smith had sven and dropped th ball!!!
You have to take advantage of such in the NFl to get wins

RESPONSE: Colonel, as I always say, you can blame the quarterback for lost yardage (had he thrown it here or there the receiver could have gotten more yardage) but the receiver is always to blame for dropped passes.
