Let's say for a second he dumps it off to the lead-footed Sellers. There would have been a swarm of defenders on him in a heartbeat, I'm not even sure he would have gotten in. Then we'd be saying why didn't he toss it up to his boy Cooley?! Cooley is money in the endzone!

It was a nice TD pass, end of story. We should be debating things that went wrong, not things that went right.

Totally agree with Kope and Matty.

Time to move on, folks!

You know, sometimes a QB has to just trust his receivers to go up and get the ball. That's what Ramsey and Cooley have and hopefully, Patrick will develop it more with the other receivers. They aren't going to be open all the time, especially in the red zone, but Ramsey has to trust that if he puts the ball where he is supposed to, our guy will come up with it.

How many jumpballs have Culpepper thrown to Moss while he was covered? I'm pretty confident Cooley will catch most of passes thrown to him if he's in one-on-one coverage. I'm not comparing Cooley to Moss. I'm just saying QB's develop a trust with a receiver that they will catch majority of passes thrown to him....and that's what Ramsey did.

Last year we would have complained that Ramsey and company were not taking enough chances at getting the ball in the endzone, and now we're talking about us being more conservative! Sellers MIGHT have gotten it in the end zone, then again, he might not have. All in all, I think it shows alot of character that Ramsey is wanting to go for the six instead of being happy with three points. Sometimes, you take the chance at letting your receivers make the play.....sure you can get burned, but I like the idea of being aggressive!

aggressive yes, but every time Ramsey gets a pick its cuz he's being "aggressive" and so far, thats the biggest knock against him.

if you take a look at the play again, Sellers couldn't have been more open and nothing was going to stop him getting into the endzone.
