So it's monday morning qb to wonder why the run was abandoned after success in the first half? Not sure if I'm one of the people you're targeting (just that it was written directly after mine), but I wasn't even talking about that last drive where rams threw the pick... Me and my friend (who's not even a skins fan, but had a vested interest in the spread) both saw the weakness in Philly's run D in the first quarter. Throughout the game, we were throwing things at the tube when they'd keep calling three straight passes after good runs.
But since you did mention the ramsey pick, I specifically told my friend after the timeout that no matter what, they should just give portis the ball three straight times and hope he breaks one b/c i still don't trust ramsey 100 percent. Does that make me a bad fan? No, it just means I'd rather take my chances with Portis fumbling over Ramsey throwing a game-killing pick. But I also see Ramsey progressing nicely throughout the game. But like you said, it's a learning curve. Nobody is saying they could coach better than Gibbs, but if sportswriters are allowed the ability to criticize, you bet fans are going to question things once in a while.
