The offense doesn't blow a 28-3 lead. Dan Quinn was the HC and gets no blame for that loss because of stupidity like you posted above.
And yes when we didn't play bad vs the Ravens we played good vs them. Excellent breakdown.
That team was nothing after Kyle left. It was all about the offense, which was solely ran by Kyle. In the end his decisions lost it for them. They lived and died with their offense, and unfortunately Kyle outgeniused himself again
The point on the Ravens game is that it came down to execution, not lights. If you actually watched the first half, you wouldn't feel like the lights were a requirement to get back in that game. They just needed to clean things up
Dude shut up. It was a 28-3 lead that was blown. The Pats didn't get a defensive score. Blaming the OC for losing a 28-3 lead in the 3rd quarter is the dumbest thing ever.
Shanahan deserves blame but Quinn and Matt Ryan bear the bulk of it and yet get none of it.
As for the Ravens SB loss…you think I didn't want my team play in the SB? "If you actually watched the first half" I have. It was not a team who came in prepared or looked ready to compete. The lights going out completely cooled off the Ravens and let our guys regroup.
Saying they needed to clean things up is obvious. Problem is not every team gets a random 34 minute timeout to clean things up.
And guess what? In the end they still blew it worse than anything Kyle has done. Best OL in the game and you don't give your best player on offense a single carry in a first and goal situation. Call a timeout when you actually have a TD play called and then go back to throwing.
All that while having the better roster.
