Seems like people's expectations were maybe a bit too high today, especially considering the QB change we were all desperately calling for.

Remember that before this week Ramsey saw very little time with the 1st unit. As a result, the playcalling was scaled back today to keep things easy for him.

Did anyone really think we were going to come out guns blazin with Ramsey?

Yes the playcalling was very conservative, but we've seen what happens when Ramsey takes more chances. I thought the gameplan was set up to keep Ramsey out of bad situations, build up his confidence and let him make a big play or two.

Unfortunately with a conservative, scaled back attack like we saw today, there's a very small margin for error. And when you have numerous penalties and mental mistakes, that's going to really put a dent in that conservative gameplan.
