    Look even if we won this game it would've just been a Band-Aid. It would have just masked the problems that has faced our team all year which are:

    1) No receivers (yes, this game was better than previous games and Chris Givens will hopefully develop into a deep threat but their offense is very sporadic right now. They can have good drives and then other drives when no receivers are able to get open at all)

    2) Very average secondary and linebackers (talented players but they're not meshing well this year for whatever reason)

    3) Bad luck

    Yes, this game our pass rush was better and Kamar Aiken showed up for a few plays but even if we beat the Jaguars we weren't going to win 8 straight. Hopefully this is just a fluky year and next year when Smith (hopefully), Suggs (hopefully) and Perriman (hopefully) all return as well as a top 10 draft pick we we will come back strong!

    If you watch the routes Marlon runs it's usually 1 yard hitches or crossing patterns. Those are for speed guys. Give him some plays where he can use his height and get his confidence back.

    That's a good point. I'm sure the coaches haven't noticed that Marlon isn't a speed guy by now. On a serious note: Marlon Brown should not be playing in the NFL right.

    For those of you who are saying that Trestman is way worse than Kubiak and should go - let's think of all the differences between last year and this year:

    1) Their offensive line was amazing last year and is terrible this year. And they're not worse schematically, they're just not playing as well

    2) How would Kubiak have fared without Torrey Smith, Jacoby Jones (and Steve Smith for some games) last year. Kamar Aiken is a #3 receiver being asked to play #1 at times and Marlon Brown shouldn't be in the league

    3) Because none of their receivers get separation - defenses are able to load up against the run

    4) Our defense has been beyond terrible this year which exposes our offenses' biggest flaw - needing to throw the ball with a terrible receiving unit that can't get open. We have NO deep threat at all (hopefully Chris Givens will turn into one)

    Kubiak might indeed be a better offensive coordinator but even if we had him this year there's no guarantee that we would be playing at a high level on offense. Food for thought.

    I do not in any way blame the Refs for our loss, however on the interception a flag should have been thrown for pass interference because as you can clearly see, Gilmore was shoved in the back and that allowed Jefferson to make that catch. Had he not been pushed and kept his direction, Gilmore catches that for a Touchdown to tie the game. Still does not mean that we would have won, but we could have tied the game at that point.

    I believe your original post was "They can apologize all they want but they still cost us this game." To me that sounds like blaming the refs for why we lost.

    I'm not pointing out that one particular play, during the entire game there were bogus calls even the commentators were acknowledging it. So I think its fair for me to say the they had a part in the games outcome.

    1) You were commenting on an article in which they were apologizing for one specific play in the fourth quarter - not the entire game.

     

    2) Come on stop blaming the refs for why we lost. Do you blame the refs for Tony Jefferson picking off Joe Flacco's pass? Bottom line is we had multiple opportunities to win the game and we didn't. That's been the theme of our season.
