I was at the game, and I understand football. I think you are the one that doesn't understand, there are ways to create time, by moving the pocket and rolling the QB out, among other things.
Ravens were pressuring Favre a couple of weeks ago and you know what Minne did? Rolled him out, and he hit some deep stuff, including the pass that won them the game.
So no, I don't agree at all that because there was pressure they couldn't throw it downfield. McDaniels just had Orton drop back and was in the same place every play. Poor playcalling. Poor gameplan.
They played well but as I said, they didn't really get challenged today. I need to see them play well a few more games before my opinion changes.
