You are an idiot and have no clue what you are talking about.
So how about you tell me what happen.
34 passing plays 11 rushing plays sounds wrong to me. Even if you are getting blown out, you have to run (a little) and ballance the offense.
They were stopping the run from the get go, they were trying to spread them out and run, didn't work. Yes, O-Line sux, we had 2 subs in there b/c 2 starters were out. You cannot say Simms or Gruden suck. Gruden has a ring and knows what he is doing and Chris has not even played a full season yet, but last year he looked good.
all he is good at is throwing the ball into defensive linemen. honestly I like simms but i think gruden is way, way overrated. And our record last year was a fluke. Remember the patriots did the exact same last year with a decimated defense.

I had high hopes for Baltimore this year with Ed Reed and Ray Ray coming into the season healthy.
I've got no problem giving credit where it's due, and if that credit is to my U boys like Reed and Lewis, all the better. They're very good, but they're going to get too overhyped now. Basically Tampa had 2 good OL in Davis and Buenning and a big heap of potential in Joseph. Well, two of those guys were out. We're left with John Wade(below average) and Kenyatta Walker (I'm sure you know the deal). Plus, replacing Joseph we had Mahan who might be the worst starting guard to ever play in the NFL. Seriously, he's worse than terrible. Well, in addition to the bad pass protection all around, Caddy can't get going when our C, RG, and RT are all absolutely atrocious when it comes to run blocking, it's easy to pressure Simms. And when they can't rush him, knock down all his low passes.
The O goes as Caddy goes, and when Caddy had absolutely no chance to get going we're in for games like this. If the guards are out next week as well, expect a similar dominating performance from the Falcons D. Same goes for Carolina.
Despite the stats on the few runs I saw from Caddy there appeared to be the explosiveness there, but as stated above, what's he going to do when our O-line was complete rubbish.
Does anyone know when Davin Joesph is supposed to come back?

Jon Gruden said "It wasn't season ending". God knows what that means, they did an MRI and there is no structural damage, but a comment like that makes me nervous. I am more concerned about getting Beunning back on the field.

Yeah that doesn't sound very promising. What about Buenning?
