As much as I wanted to rip Ramsey's heart out after that int, now that i've cooled off... you can't put all the blame on him. Yes, there were 3 green shirts in the corner and yes, the throw was well over thrown to Cooley, but hey? who the fuck called a deep pass on 1&10 from the 27? That was just a stupid play call. I would have been happy with three runs for a few yards each and hope one broke open or even a few dump off passes, but going for the bomb was totally unexpected, really bad play calling, if you ask me.
Whats more, early during the game, we were moving the ball well, Portis was running okay, the short passes were working, but no deep balls. Our drives would stall around mid field. What's up with that? What ever happened to the play action or bomb? You can't ask a guy (Ramsey) who hasen't thrown a completed deep pass all game to all of a sudden go out and win it all in the end and that's what they did when panic set in and we were down 17-7, then the skins started throwing deep to catch up.
I'm sorry, but as much as I'd like to blame Ramsey for the loss, the offensive play calling sucked, just as it has all season, this was not all just Ramsey's int.
