As for bad passes he hit Ray Lewis in the hands in the first half and made a couple of other 50/50 passes that he receivers made plays on for him.

If you say so. The one where get got twisted around, resulted from him trying to get out of the pocket and throw the ball away. It also led to the Eagles getting 3rd and goal from close (next play was the TD), instead of being sacked and having much taller order. The Ray Lewis play was a bad read. I think he also made some pinpoint throws today (the big plays to Jackson and Avant being two of them) and basically created the TD pass to Maclin by using his athleticism, plays very few other QBs could make.
