The 'scapegoat' thing happens every day in the NFL and life in general. I'm in sales and I was good enough to be at 150% of my quota in 2000, but if I hit 70% in 2001 they'll show my *** the door.
Anywho, the loss was tough, but it wasn't as unexpected with Gus at the helm. NO, I'm not using excuses, but it would have been a tougher loss for me to swallow had Griese been on the field and performed that badly.
Gus hit more WRs in the arse on Sunday than any QB had in recent memory. Gus was serviceable in relief of Griese, but more often than not it was because of Anderson.
As for Sharpe, I still like the guy. I'm happy for him and he didn't throw too many rocks before the game, which baffled me.
Anywho, if the Ravens had a QB not named Dilfer, I could probably cheer for them. But, he's one of those sorry a$$ QBs that I can never really like. He's incredibly weak. They have a helluva defense, nice WRs, strong RB and Sharpe. So, I don't have a problem with them winning.
