Players deserve the blame for the penalties, the drops, lack of good execution in general.....horrible, just horrible!
Gibbs deserves the blame for calling the game like a man who is so afraid of his QB making a mistake, that he would not even give him a chance. This is not the Gibbs of old. Yeah, he was always conservative, but how many times can you run that WR screen play??? I think we threw downfield (more than 10-15 yards) MAYBE 3 times??? That's pathetic!! Maybe some of the blame goes on Ramsey, for checking down if the one deep WR wasn't open, but most of the time, it seemed like the short passes were the plan.
Didn't we hear about how in the offseason, Gibbs studied the top 5 rushing and passing offenses from last year, and we assumed he would "borrow" some ideas from them? I guess not. The strong armed QB goes in, and he doesn't let him use it.......it was nice to actually see a long pass overthrown instead of underthrown and potentially picked off, even if we couldn't haul it in. Maybe with some more work together, Ramsey and the WR's will get more in sync and they will complete one, and give Gibbs the confidence to call more of them.....I don't know....
Bottom line: I didn't expect them to win, but I had hope and I did expect them to keep it somewhat close (within 10 pts). The blame goes on ALL of them.
