Tom [Giants fan] Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 Brooks was right in front of him. How did he not see him??? Plus, he is hurting. Bring in Cunningham!!!! Let's Go Ravens!!!!! Sorry, I needed to vent. I need the Ravens to WIN!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 I agree, Grbac is terrible. He is the picture of an overpaid dime a dozen QB. He was hardly worthy of a starting job in KC. I bet the Ravens are kicking themselves right now for cutting Dilfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 Billick may have won a Super Bowl but I don't put him up there with the great coaches by any stretch. He rode Marvin Lewis and the defense to that Super Bowl last season. And we know that Ozzie Newsome runs the draft for the team. Billick's main contributions were supposed to be on the offensive side of the ball. He decided Tony Banks was the quarterback of the future in 1999 and then benched and cut him after 2000. He gave afterthought Trent Dilfer the ball in midseason and ended up in the Super Bowl and then didn't even offer him a contract to return to compete for a job. Then he spent millions to get Grbac and Elvis has shown that he has problems when faced with performing in crunch time under the bright lights. He has looked awful in most of the games I have seen him in this season. Billick could be a one year wonder as a coach, a guy that rides the circumstances to glory and then fades out, who knows? With the defense healthy again next season, the Ravens may win again in spite of Billick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted December 30, 2001 Author Share Posted December 30, 2001 How in the world do you throw a five yard pass on fourth and ten???? Unbelieveable!!!! Now it looks slim for the Giants in the playoffs. Even if the Giants win out, they still need Tampa to beat Philly when Tampa will have nothing to play for. Oh well.

bulldog Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Tom, if you are really surprised by that fourth down call, evidently you haven't watched much of Marty's vaunted New Model Offense here in DC gaining 5 yards on third and 10 or 2 yards on third and 5 is a Marty special. heck, with only 1 yard to get last week he had Tony Banks THROW the ball twice on third and fourth down when he had Davis and Carter to run the ball. on a play where the line blocks decently, Davis usually can fall forward to gain a yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 The jury is still out of course, but so far, Billick does indeed seem to fit in better with the likes of Ditka and Switzer than he does with Gibbs or Walsh. I have much more respect for coaches like Marv Levy or Bud Grant, guys who took multiple teams to the Super Bowl but never won it, than I do for Bombastic Brian, the Offensive Genius. A fade into obscurity would serve the arrogant prick right, after he lectured anyone who dared to question Ray Lewis' character or the slap on the wrist he got from Tagliabue.

Brave Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 "How in the world do you throw a five yard pass on fourth and ten????" - Tom Tom, the other QB in this game (Brad Johnson) could surely tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 I am sill trying to figure out where he got the genius label from. In minnesota with Robert Smith,Moss and Carter and the inserta QB who wouldn't look like an ofensive juggernaut ------------------ Take A Sip of the Marty KoolAid and Believe.
