    I'm surprised I don't see more complaints against Flacco. Yeah , it was a bad call by Morningweigh but he has to have faith that his quarterback doesn't make a rookie mistake and lock on to a receiver which lets the backer jump the route or at the very least protect the ball.  This leads me to Flacco has continually demonstrates the same  mistakes.

    For years I've seen him do stupid things like on 3rd down slide short of the yards sticks, or the time he stupidly scrambled out the clock at the half against Cincy while in chip shot field goal range or even taking dumb sacks on third down making the field goal tougher. Keep in mind he took a stupid sack on the drive before the  interception drive to take us out of field goal range. This guy is low football IQ .

     

    As always blame everyone but the real source.

    ...except for one thing...flacco takes orders from the HC and OC who had the option of running then fg.  Knowing flacco's weakness and then calling that play in that situation requires some serious reflection on the quality of our coaching staff...

    I wanna luv this team, but the game management has been highly suspect for over 2 years now.  I realize we all make mistakes or err sometimes on decision making...but this has become a key element in many games and always seems to zap team morale afterwards.  I am glad they won this game.  But the win was so ugly, I hate the way the victory came.  We had a small amount of time near the end of the game, Wallace had just taken the ball down into the red zone, all we got to do is run the clock down, just run the ball and if no td then a mere fg ensures the victory.  But instead, someone okayed a pass which was, of course intercepted.  Down the field the eagles go with a renewed spirit which they got off our utter awful game/time management.  I mean awful...did I say awful?  We only got away with the win because the eagles decided to go for 2 and it didn't work.  Nothing else.  The decisions to go for it on 4th down during the last 2 seasons were too numerous to mention.  The lack of urgency at the end of games when we needed another score to win or tie are becoming epic.  Who is responsible for these decisions?  They ought to be reminded who pays their money.  I feel let down at every turn with this team with few exceptions.  The talent is there.  It isn't being used properly.  Maybe the team doesn't want to win.

    I started enjoying the game after Wallace took the ball down the field....then the coaching staff had a brain fart and told Flacco to lob the ball....big, big, big very big mistake....the only thing I can compare this to is someone jumping off a tall building thinking someone's going to catch him before he hits.....just plain awful call.   A very lucky win at best...not good...not quality at all.  Very disappointed.
