Miami isn't out of this game and if Chad gets his shit together they can still win in spite of the INT's.
Chad is having a bad game but it's hard to succeed w/ no running game, no WRs and no time to throw- wouldn't you agree? Please name all the games Chad choked and we lost b/c of it?
Agreed but Miami's D has kept them in the game and without the picks Miami is winning the game right now.
LOL yes I was waiting for this. I guess Chad was winning all year in spite of his Offesne too, huh. This has always been a major criticism of him -- Chad is a mediocre QB who can't put his team on his shoulders and win when the running game isn't working. You said it yourself, he needs a running game. That in and of itself is a limitation.
He's at best a game manager that needs an elite team around him and on the other side of the ball. He simply cannot beat good defenses.
Only the TD returned by Reed has led to any pts for Baltimore. He put a team on his shoulders and led them to 11 wins when they had ONE a year ago. When you get no running game, you have no WRs and your Ol can't protect it makes life difficult on a QB.
This is typical Chad. Down 17 puts on a good drive and gets the team into the end zone. Watch he will put on another strong drive right here. Problem is. Where were these drives early in the game or when the Dolphins were within one score? There not there. Its always when the team is down a lot. They go on a drive and score. The crowd and fans get excited. But he comes up short in the end.
I don't want to come across as a chad lover or defender. But I can not stand aside and watch reasonable logic be abused. Tom Brady and Eli manning would be nothing without a running game. Peyton manning and ben rothlisberger would be ordinary without a running game. Every SB winning QB needs a running game. Every successful football team needs a running game
And we all know Chad's twice surgically repaired shoulder isn't strong enough to carry any team on. He won the division because of a great defense, a phenomenal job of not turning the ball over and extremely creative playcalling, not because he is an exceptional QB.
It will be a long drive hitting a lot of underneath passes and then the D will stop him in the red zone lol.
He has a great running game in Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. But the Baltimore defense is taking that away by playing 8 in the box and daring Chad to win the game. The difference is between Chad and those two you bring that many in the box and Brady and Manning will make you pay. Chad can't do that.
Chad has had great running games in 04 and this year. Teams try and take it away. Good D's will take it away until you make them pay for it. You are bound to come up against a good d in the playoffs.
Too bad he just flubbed a handoff that resulted in a major loss of yds. Failed to put the ball in Ginn's numbers, hit him in the hands. Error on CP. Ravens D is just clubbing him now. He is a tough kid with a lot of heart but mediocre talent.
