When we let Ramsey go it was the correct move but I for one would like to see him succeed somewhere.

Diff of opinion on that one. On that 2nd interception, the defender that was called for Pass Interference was the same one that intercepted the ball. According to my understanding, the defensive player has just as much right to the ball as the offensive player so incidental contact (which I thought it was) is not a penalty. Regardless, it was double coverage and Ramsey threw back against his body which goes into the whole Ramsey not improving thing...

I think we are talking about the same play the call went against the other defender and not the guy who int. him. The second defender knocked him down before the ball got to them and he was going down as the other d man intercepted the ball. I'm not saying that it was not a bad decision by Ramsey but it was not an iffy call at all.
