> [@00BlackSS](#): > > in the redzone is one of the toughest spots to pass, why risk an int, and then be stuck wtih no points, no win??? as a general rule, ya i agree. but i thought that play-action was the best move there. especially once the saw the formation balti had. i think a short pass isnt too risky in that situation. play to win, dont give them a chance to come back. if balti was a better offensive team , they had more than enough time to drive down and score on us. and our defense wasnt playin well enough that i’d want to put that much responsibility on them. ---

ward had some nice catches… he one handed it a few times and the one pass that was almost int. but then ward grabbed it and got nailed. He still got up with a smile on his face. ---
