It was 95% on him (I mean it is allowable to throw the ball away)...but Colston was just kind of standing there until the ball was in the air.
Wasn't double coverage. Colston had good inside position and a lot of empty field around him.It was a stupid call. We are down 7-0, FIRST AND GOAL, you have a probowl QB, and you decide to let a ROOKIE throw INTO DOUBLE COVERAGE?!?!?!
Stupid playcall.
I don't know if it was a stupid call. How would payton know that the receiver would be double covered. Even with the double coverage had Reggie thrown it to the players left it could have been a touchdown.It was a stupid call.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!It was a stupid call. We are down 7-0, FIRST AND GOAL, you have a probowl QB, and you decide to let a ROOKIE throw INTO DOUBLE COVERAGE?!?!?!

The problem was you asked a Running Back to throw a fairly deep ball to a covered WR. The ball kinda hung up there and drifted back and to the left and Ray Lewis had a ton of time to get over there.
If you run the HB pass it either has to be a short pass or a wide open pass. It's wrong to expect the RB to throw to a spot with any volocity.
I'm sure they worked on it in practice and it looked good, but in retrospect, down like we were, that wasn't the time to break it out.
There were two guys on his right him, throw to the left of receiver and you possibly have a touchdown. Just because a receiver is double covered doesn't mean you can't find a way to get him the ball. He had open field around him.Were you not watching? There were 2 guys on Reggie's hip.
to be honest, the game was so poorly played by us I cant even blame the refs at all. Thats not to say the refs were perfect, but its not like they were the difference in the game. Or even .05% of the difference.I dont know about you guys but i saw pass interference on the ravens on that play. They were hitting colsten before the ball got there. Some bad calls today. Esp the face mask on Beerman on one of the returns.
