QB play can be blamed as the primary reason for 2 losses this season. Miami and Baltimore. One with each QB. I don't really think the reason we are losing is because Green is playing over Huard. In Cleveland he passed like the Trent of old with a QB rating of 129.3 for the game.
I think the biggest problem is, somewhere, somehow in every game, certain groups - not always the same groups - inconsistent play kills us.
1. Cinnci - O Line play was horrible and the D was impotent against the no huddle
2. Denver - It's always tough in Denver and Huard was starting his first game. If LJ hadn't fumbled in the red-zone things could have been a lot different.
3. Pittsburgh - Probably the most complete meltdown from the coaching staff all the way down to the towel boy. From now on leave the Lingerie models alone on sat night guys!
4. Miami - Huard may have ended up with 201 yards, but he still had a QB rating of 57. But it wasn't just his fault, he can't help his recievers had the dropsies and Dancin' Dante fumbled.
5. Cleveland - What happened to our D? What happened to our D??? Did you all forget how to play or did some highschoolers steal your uni's and play in your spot? Hermy, when you have the ball with ANY time left on the clock, get the ball down the field - and what do you have to lose by letting Tynes at least TRY a 60 yarder for the W instead of throwing to Tony at the hash-marks with 5 seconds to go? And O, when you win the toss, YOU HAVE GOT TO MOVE THE BALL DOWNFIELD!!! Last but not least, Herm, if you think we can't win, DON'T SHARE THAT UNTIL AFTER THE GAME!!! The last thing the team needs is to get the idea from the HC that they can't win.
6. Baltimore - Trent, we really could have done without the INTs. Yeah, I know the ball was tipped, but if you had gotten it down it Tony wouldn't have had to reach. Solari, you can't be so predictable against a D like Baltimore. Mix it up man! Run, Run, Pass, Punt ain't gonna work. It's OK to pass on first down. It's OK to go deep once in a while. If Herm says it isn't, do it anyway.
If all units played at the level each has achieved in games this year without the mistakes, we can beat anyone - with either Green or Huard.
