From the way I see it. It is simple.

There are limited opportunities in a game. Sometimes a play is called and the defense is in the right place. The runner is stopped cold. The pass is incomplete or thrown away.

Other times the play call works. There is a play there that can be made. The quarterback has to see it. He has to make the throw accurately and the receiver has to catch it. Or, the blocking is there. The hole is open and the runner needs to see it and hit it.

In tight games you have to make those plays when they are there. It does not matter who blows it.

You make those plays and you win. You don't and you lose.

All this blame game crap doesn't cut it with me. Win the game. Everybody is happy. It all looks good. You want talk about how great the victory was.

Lose and you look to hang it on someone.

The plays are interconnected in many ways from game plan, play call, to proper execution.

The difference between winning and losing is narrow.

The Raven's game is a perfect example. Five drop passes, a quarterback fumble, a missed field goal. You go home a loser.
