Apparently it wasnt that easy.

Or maybe Morgan just wanted to get the ball out of his hands before he was pancaked...not really caring about his QB's safety.

We should have run it with Banks...he has a better arm and if the pass wasn't open, he's running around the corner and goes into punt-return mode.

Had a lazy afternoon so I watched the game again. Offensively, it looked like the first game to me where execution (drops) was a bigger problem than the play-calling/play-design. I counted only 8 plays that were flat out bad calls: five runs to the left when the Steelers had the box stacked for the run (two came on the first series, which was 3 and out); a designed keeper near the goal line, which is dumb as hell because by week 8 you'd expect every defense to key on RG3; the Morgan to RG3 pass; and two of the option reads. Technically that's nine, but the option worked a couple times too, so you could argue we only called it once too many, but it did get ID'd by the defense and blown up twice.

Defensively, it looks like this group has lost confidence in something. Coaching? Itself? I don't know, but there's no explosion off the ball and practically no pressure, because our front seven almost never win the battle one on one. Last year we did, at least a few times a game.

I guess what I wonder is if this group needs new motivation, or some sense of a fresh start. If the defense is flat again, especially at home, I think it's probably good timing to stick a new DC in there on an interim basis. If Raheem is even in the discussion for next year, no reason to wait till then. Let him do what ever he wants with defense Mike, it can't get any worse.

The ref in the back ground should be suspended or at the least fined for this crap. There is no sense in why this wasn't called.
